I think people often have a hard time separating “I don’t want to believe this” from “this isn’t true.” I don’t want to believe this. Hell, I didn’t want to believe it about Cosby back when his first accusers spoke up.

Yeah, I’m not ready to believe the accusation since it’s only one person (unlike many similar accounts, as we’ve seen with other celebrities in the past few weeks) and since it seems like too ideal a smear against a politically involved gay man, but Takei’s response left something to be desired. The reference to how…

Remember when we hated 2016 for killing all the famous people we loved? Good times, man.

Nobody can force him to drop out, since the national Republican Party has basically no leverage over him. Short of an unprecedented write-in effort on the part of the GOP, Moore WILL win the election. The only way to nullify it (if I remember correctly) is for the state legislature to invalidate the election results.…

Yeah, but what if Joseph was married to another woman at the time?

I’m only amazed by how forthright and public these dipshits are about how being a child molester is better than being a Democrat. Like, they don’t even try to hide it.

Eh, Bentley provided a convenient excuse for people who already wanted him out. “Morality” is a tool for these people, not an actual ethos.

Personally I subscribe to the Non-Corporeal Cosmic Dong Theory. The NCCDT indicates that God is a statutory rapist by today’s standards. It’s simple science really.

“Welles Family Estate reveals Citizen Kane may have been about William Randolph Hearst!”

This ain’t even the worst of it. The worst is all the Alabama GOP members supporting him IN SPITE of the allegations, all because Party is more important.

Here’s the deal: the GOP is a craven bunch of motherfuckers that will do the Olympics of mental gymnastics to find excuses for why this piece of shit should still run for Senate.

GOP: “Moore should drop out if these accusations are true.”
Moore: “They’re not true.”
GOP: “Well, that’s good enough for us.”

I’ve seen so many people crying, “But Mary was a teenager!” Uh, God didn’t actually do the diddling...he kind of just placed Jesus there. I totally get people use the Bible as they see fit, but come on. Really?

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…

Going after an Executive Producer of your own show for being a creepy harasser is cold blooded. In a good way. Good for you, Tig. I have been a fan of CKs work and will admit that I hoped the rumors weren’t true, but I am glad that his actions have been brought to light and stand in solidarity with his accusers. Who I…

False reports are extremely rare and follow certain patterns. In almost all instances, fake accusers are trying to avoid some kind of trouble (like in the Duke lacrosse case). I’m not aware of any proven instances where someone was trying to “get revenge” for some sort of non-abusive slight, nor to “gain fame.” You…

so, so, so NOT BINGO. everyone is running to defend themselves for plugging their ears and not showing one shred of doubt where there was damn good reason to be suspicious. TEAM JEZEBEL ALL THE WAY ON THIS ONE.

He always struck me as a gross comedian with strong misogynistic undertones in his performance but so many liberal guys I know loved him. He sounds so much like Adam Carolla or Bill Burr but because he has all the right politics, he’s fine I guess?

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up the Washington Post? The New York Times broke the story earlier this morning — two different cities, two completley different media outlets.
