What “feud” though? Kanye, surprising no one, was a piece of shit to her in 2009 and has constantly tried to get at her ever since no matter how many times she’s tried to not have anything to do with it.

Hot take from a middle-aged white man with no real horse in this race (TS’s new albums is surprisingly listenable and obviously well-written. But, of course I’m not the target demo):

Book quote: “I couldn’t stop myself from thinking awful things, like that Keanu Reeves should be devoured alive by rabid badgers, but I knew that was just the drugs talking. Keanu’s a great guy.”

Kenan mysteriously adds “chain snatching security guard” to his character repertoire.

“Regardless of motive, this isn’t the first incident of onstage violence against comedians this year.”

“In comparison to Redd, Chappelle’s stand up has become rightfully maligned in recent years, due to the comedian’s extensive exploration of blatantly transphobic content. But even from an activism standpoint, it’s hard to argue that clocking your evening’s entertainment in the jaw before or during their time onstage…

Not to mention that this wasn’t an incident of onstage violence since Redd was on the street at the time.

Keenan’s been making money since he was a kid. It’s clear he hired a hitman. A hitman who takes the idea of a hit very literally.

After the attacker, Isaiah Lee, was apprehended, the LAPD confirmed he had been in possession of a weapon that could “eject a knife.”

The point being made is that Kanye, for as much money and social clout he has, does not have the political power that Trump, unfortunately, does.

He made two cracks about Keanu at different parts in the book. So it wasnt a random one time thing unless the book was made in one day. The most generous interpretation of this is that he had horrible experiences with Keanu that runs contrary to anything publicly known about that man. Knowing hollywood thats possible…

Is it like a running/inside joke or something?

The three writers from SNL i’ve spoken to about it are deeply marked and traumatized by the experience even 25, 30 years later. Bitter, apologetic, then usually backtracking and blaming themselves for other people’s horrors.

Nope, not buying his performance here. I don’t buy it based on the stories I’ve heard and read about his behaviour not just in the States. Has he apologised personally to the staff he had a pop at? No? Then he can choke on a big fat one, the wee dick.

But why was he yelling at the server “You can’t do your job!”? The complaint was apparently that there was a “little bit” of egg white in the omelet, so clearly the server communicated that it was to be an egg yolk omelet; the chef just made a mistake (and it’s not easy to get zero white in when separating eggs,…

There’s a wide gulf between being curt in the midst of frustration and literal screaming.

Also the question I asked in response to Robot_Jox’s strange claim that there was a time anti-semitism was a career killer was:

1) allergies aside, an egg yolk omelette sounds downright upsetting. 

Mel Gibson is back in everyone’s good graces, so being openly anti-semitic doesn’t seem to be the career killer as it used to be. He’s going to be like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, etc, niche of only far-righties and Trump buying his music/brand and he seems to be fine with that.

If Kanye hadn’t been saying inflammatory shit for decades I might be more inclined to give him the benefit of the Type I doubt, but as it is, I’m pretty skeptical. And to a certain extent, it doesn’t matter. You knew your ex personally. The vast majority of people who hear the shit Kanye aren’t intimately familiar…
