Chris D'elia is a horrendous comic, completely undeserving of the success he's obtained, so I'm glad this is happening to him both b/c it's disgusting & also bc he sucks at his job. When Louie went down, I was bummed that we all had to move on from him, b/c before everything came out about him, he was a transcendent talent. D'elia can get launched into the sun as far as I'm concerned.
Not directed at you, @bobbie solo , just something I saw and thought was hilarious considering.
I had never ever heard of the guy until yesterday so for me this is a whole lot of nothing. I saw a small bit of his on twitter and he looked like a meathead making fun of nerds in high school but being paid to do it.
I watched Louis CK's new standup set... I felt immediately guilty after buying it... but there was this quarantine, and we were starved for entertainment, and so fuck it, I bought it. And yeah, there were some parts of it that were genuinely hilarious.
But the part where he addressed the elephant in the room was so bad... it was like he belittled the severity of it, made it about him and what he went through primarily, and then just laughed at it as a punchline. It was pretty fucked up, and I'm all for edge in comedy, but that just felt like he really didn't get it.
Honestly, I don't if it was more offensive or pathetic.

@Jinsai - I mention this in the "Stand Up" thread - I cringed throughout the whole time.
Yeah, i was really hoping he would address it more similar to how Aziz did. First hint Louie was gonna go the route he did was the quickness w/which he started doing shows again. This is a guy who doesn't have to work another day of his life, and he was back at it in less than a year. Terrible approach whether you're thinking w/sincerity OR coming at it cynically. Either way...time heals all wounds. The longer he was away, the easier it would be for the larger audience to accept him. Instead he did as you described above, and now only has his meathead fans still rooting for him, and the larger, more thoughtful people that loved him aren't going to come back.
If me or you stripped naked and jerked off in front of our coworkers, we'd be in jail. This piece of shit should be thanking the lord above for how easily this has gone for him. Piece of shit.

It makes a lot of sense. For a lot of people, Bill Cosby was a father figure. Louis CK had hilarious and blunt insight into human nature that really dug in, in a way that was relatable. It was hard to listen to some of his bits and not think "this guy gets me." So it's really strange to then have to tackle that in their personal life, these people can be completely different people than what they seemed... in a way that predators often do I guess.
I'm not saying anything about Aziz... actually this is the first I've heard of this.
Wtf not Riddle
The David Starr news hit me hard. I was a huge fan and feel real dumb now. Threw away my shirts and hat yesterday. What a lying piece of shit. The cheating alone would’ve been enough for me to cut ties. What he has done is so much worse; it’s unforgivable and disgusting.
You don’t ever know anyone.
These poor women. I’ve spent so much time the last few days reading so many awful stories. Fuck Dave Crist too.
Also interesting in a gross way—I recently DM’d back and forth with Michael Elgin over the well publicized case he had a couple years ago and he swore she lied and photoshopped the screen grabs of his sickening texts....and now he has another accuser. Glad I didn’t buy his story then.

Bieber is the latest to be named....
https://www.ccn.com/justin-bieber-ac...ake-seriously/
hasnt he come out with a denial and a load of evidence and is going to be taking legal action?
thing is he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t, people are accusing him of ‘silencing’ victims by going to court although that’s the only way to clear your name from false accusations otherwise it’s just the court of public opinion. I don’t even like Bieber

Well THAT’S not a surprise.
Ron Jeremy's lawyer: "There is absolutely no reason for him to ever be aggressive with women... He's had more women than you can count."
Wow, that's some lawyer.
They put out a more complete statement later in the day claiming they had to wait before all the legal hurdles were jumped before they put out that he was asked to leave. Still shouldn't have made that first statement though, it would have been better for everyone if they'd just come clean about the situation.
^^
OH
my God
WHAT THE FUCK

They kept him around bc he was fucking Falwell's wife and Falwell liked to watch.
911 call from Falwell house reveals ex-Liberty president was drinking, fell down, lost 'a lot of blood' after resigningAt church at 11pm and she didn't have a key to the house? this is bizarre.She told dispatchers she had been at church around 11 p.m. when she received a call from her husband, who said he was bleeding after falling down the stairs. When she got home, Becki Falwell said the door was locked so she used a chair to break through the back door.
Sex cultist Keith Raniere is going away for a cool 120.
