I wouldn't say every time, there are legitimate cases of actors getting blackballed for pissing off the wrong producer, because they refused to play ball (or refused their advances). But a lot of the time it's definitely that they're genuinely difficult people to work with, Edward Norton is a notorious example

Frankly even most the Weinstein victims who were successfully blacklisted were pretty crazy.

If they are normal they can get work outside of that bubble.

Rose McGowan is pretty crazy but she managed to hold down a job in Charmed. She might claim her career was ruined but was she really going to become a start in Hollywood if she hadn't got there by 22.
