“as studios have been quick to distance themselves from the growing list of bad boys being outed in press reports”

Yasss Gal.

Fuck yes. This is courageous.

My sister and a good friend were both outed exactly like this. It’s a disgusting thing to do, especially to a teenager.

Exactly. He outed her. If someone had said something like this about me at that age, when I was still in the closet, it would have seriously fucked with me and possibly kept me there, in pain, for longer.

sounds like he was trying to f*ck her most of this time. then he was passive aggressive because she didn’t f*ck him. then he was around her for a bit and his intuition was that she was gay (and she was too closeted in herself to deal with it/act on it) so he bullied her about how she needs to ‘know’ she’s gay...but…

In other words: was it a dick move or a big dick move? I am with you. Before this “witch hunt” is over powerful persons might not be allowed to be assholes anymore and then HOW will anyone get anything done?

Thank you. Validation always feels good.

You know I don’t think the people who are outraged by what Ratner did to Ellen Page are the ones who are blind here.

That’s my problem with this too.

What the hell is the matter with you that you’re trying to scrounge up some kind of loophole for this guy so that he scores a little higher on the Complete Shit of a Human Being scale?

As a frat-boy doofus? That Kara was into anyway, but half the reason people hated Mon-El was due to the writing, not the actor.

I think he had clearly decided she was gay. So his knowledge wasn’t based on her admission of the fact, but he definitely believed she was gay when he said it.

It was also a homophobic comment, even if he didn’t know she was lesbian. So there’s that.

I honestly don’t see why it matters, but ok.

And it was a hideously inappropriate thing to say about ANYONE, let alone a minor. It doesn’t matter if a person is closeted or wears a Lesbian Avenger tee shirt every day, public speculation about their sexuality is gross and wrong.

He publicly said a closeted person was gay. Yes, he outed her.

Yeah but then if you think about how Mon-El was written...

Thank you for the post. Jezebel pursued an open secret story inside of an industry that’s incredibly male dominated and where misogynist views (women aren’t and can’t be funny) still exist. The nature of CK’s comedy added icky complexity to the endeavor. Strong CK defenders (outside the comedy world) are to CK what…
