Actually, I hate to say it but you’re absolutely right. In retrospect the goth / punk / counterculture crowds I ran with in the 90's ALWAYS had shitty toxic guys in them (usually with anger issues) but were always protected by the community because ‘they had a good heart.’ Weirdly they were often DJs.

I can.

Whipping his dick out was bad enough, but he also actively tried to ruin the careers of those women and anyone who tried to report on it as well. People don’t talk about that enough. Like so much fucking hand-wringing over a guy’s “ruined reputation” and literally nothing about the reps of all the women he crushed…

“And I really can’t see the Garofalo of the early 90s - the alt comic feminist - allowing a comic of that generation to skate so easily if they’d done something like that to her.”

A good way for comedians to be left alone is to not have your manager book gigs at comedy clubs. It works; ask Dave Chapelle. It is also entirely possible to criticize C.K. while being his friend. You are not being disloyal by pointing out, when asked, that a good friend fucked up/is a fuck-up.

Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…

That link to the Seventeen article has this absolutely ridiculous story:

I know! And not everyone has a cousin Kevin. Like does this “journalist” think that we all just go around talking to “cousin Kevins”? WTF! The Kevin I’m related to is my uncle, not my cousin, and uncle Kevin is a farmer, not an accountant. Some people aren’t even related to a Kevin at all. Some people don’t even have…

This was a stupid fucking stunt. it’s the same thing as when Pence and Mother flew to Indiana for a football game and then immediately left when players took a knee. What did these two dunces think they were going to see?

Hes one of the few who seem genuinely good instead of "good since hes just not a raging fucking asshole".

Terry Crews is just the best.

I know virtually nothing about equipment but I thought the singing through a mask to also be pretty ridiculous. Even if the microphone worked through it, there would be a weird echo or distortion from the mask. I’m going with pre-recorded since they don’t even have to worry about lipsyncing.

I’d say Bobby getting the Megyn Kelly Today beat was the shorter straw.

He’s got his vape pen and the Grindr app open on his phone while he watches, he’ll be just FINE.

I feel sorry for Ali because he probably doesn’t get a lot of good scripts. I understand why he took it. He needs a better agent and PR person to research the projects he signs on to.  People on his team should be fired.  

I’m not sure what Vallelonga meant by “heirs” or “friends.” Shirley may have left his property estate to someone he was close to - a domestic partner? That doesn’t negate the right of Shirley’s family to speak up about his portrayal, though. At least from the statements of his family, it sounds like they stayed…

Mahershala Ali apologized to the family for the portrayal:

The director thinks people should be giving Trump more love.

how do people not realize shes being sarcastic? also it was the 90s. it was like the HandMaiden’s Tale back then, she still wanted to have a career so she couldn’t just call him a creepy rapist. Also its a lot more hidden shade than any other women were able to get printed in national news. Look how much Paltrow…

Yes, in addition Dr. Shirley was alive when the son of the driver approached him about writing a script. And he said that he was not interested in it. The driver also only worked with him for about 8 months. If i was his family I would be upset about it as well.
