The lawsuit was funded by a Peter Thiel billionaire who did not like Gawker media’s unfavorable coverage of his business dealings and political ideas. He used the “outing” by Gawker as a justification for his campaign to destroy Gawker via sponsoring lawsuits.

as part of a larger group of accusations against Louis C.K. that are a little harder to handwave away

It is a pretty big walk back.

They got shut down because the violated the privacy of an individual by posting a sex tape recorded without that person’s consent. You know, like what the hacker behind the “fappening” is in jail for now. And when they were told to take it down, they refused. That’s what got them destroyed in court. Calling Hulk Hogan…

Which is perfectly reasonable. Leonardo Di Caprio’s never tried to assault me, but if someone accused him of it, I’d want an investigation.

However, being open to the idea of anyone being guilty of anything doesn’t constitute an indictment of any kind. Jen’s saying “hey, if he turns out to be a perv, then he’s a…

I’ve never seen you not molest a child, so I guess your name should be repeatedly dragged through the mud on a blog?

Do you need notarized affidavits from every woman on the planet before you’ll accept that rumors don’t equal fact and that sometimes smoke is just the hot air being blown up our ass by bloggers with an agenda?

i hope it’s ok for white dudes to post here also, and to say something not very nice about a black dude, if it’s not i apologize and you can delete my comment.

I think it’s going to be the other way around: Jon will be the sacrificial lamb this time around.For many reasons both textual and metatextual.

Jon’s never wanted to rule. He was elected Lord Commander because of his friends. He was acclaimed as King in the North without his agreement or support. Unbeknownst to him, he…

It’s just hard for me to believe that there’s some kind vendetta against Louis CK in the comedy world that’s driving this

1. Jen Kirkman’s story had nothing to do with being forced to watch a comic masturbate. Jezebel and its sister sites made that connection and ran with it as though it were fact.

2. Here’s what Kirkman actually said: http://flavorwire.com/533257/jen-kirkman-clarifies-comments-that-may-or-may-not-have-been-about-louis-c-k

He said the rumors weren’t real. End of discussion, unless you have some heretofore unknown accuser or evidence you want to bring forward.

Gawker ran a blind item they guessed was about CK, then took Jen Kirkman’s story about a comedian friend “creeping” on her, and conflated the two into this non-story its surviving…

I thought they had slathered him with makeup and cranked the saturation to make him look alive, as opposed to his usual waterlogged-week-old-corpse glow.

I guess we can now predict how IX will go:

- Starkiller Base is back, but, like, BIGGER. This one can destroy galactic cores or some shit.

- Luke will die after telling Rey the truth about her heritage and that there is another.

- Rey and Kylo will have a duel aboard Starkiller Base, with Snoke egging them on.

- At the…

These “allegations” exist only because Jen told a story of a fellow comic who creeped her out. She later elaborated about the situation, and it was an instance of someone coming on to her in a creepy way. She explicitly said she wasn’t assaulted or forced to do anything, she just had someone she trusted come on to her…

I bet you also heard about Richard Gere and a gerbil, or Elton John getting his stomach pumped, too, you scoopmeister, you.

At no point in that article does she claim it was CK. Not once. People latched onto her description of the perp, and decided it’s him. There’s nothing else.

And the only quote of hers they give in the article is a description of her comedian former friend coming on to her, not assaulting her or forcing her to watch…
