But he’s always seemed so sane and stable?
Yeah, this is some of the least surprising news ever
especially with those crazy eyes on the thumbnails of youtube videos.
Certainly not the type of guy they would write a movie about an unstable, unpredictable, impulsive, and self centered rock star with him in mind to play the lead.
And that is basically his character in both Get Him To The Greek AND Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Do you mean the same character was the same character? Shocking if true.
That’s because he’s the same character in both movies. Aldous Snow
Ah wow I forgot, I have not seen those movies in like 15 years 😅
You haven’t seen Dracula Musical in 15 years? Gotta pump those numbers up!
Him and Diddy both in that movie too…
I hope to god you’re being sarcastic
This is the guy we should be deporting.
Wealthy immigrant accused of rape and spewing lies at every turn? Deport him? They going to offer him a job leading what ever department he wants to demolish. Probably justice.
You’re kiddin’! HIM? …Nahhh. He’s always seemed like a super stable, reliable guy. You just never know about some people, you know?
It’s always the ones you mostly suspect…
Wait… Is racism back on the table guys??
That irish fucker with the marshmallows is gonna get it
Don’t worry, he can buy a Trump Gold Card, become a U.S. citizen, and Trump will offer him the position of Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues.
How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this???
He’ll use this in his defence, somehow. Swear blind it’s why he miraculously found God.
Islam, everyone’s favorite popular cult, is very rapey.
Catholics have been very rapey since a long time ago, Buddhists and Muslims as well
I’d wager whichever new faith this guy adheres to has no sway in their behavior as there are bad actors in basically everything
Man that’s fucking great.
In an article from 2 years ago LMAO
Haha my thoughts exactly
LOL, my thoughts exactly.
Okay but seriously… this actually has come up before though right? I distinctly remember there being major allegations against him years ago
Check the date on that article, the joke is more layered than you thought.
Wasn’t it somehow clear he did something like that?
Its always the ones you expect
Well, I’ve seen this coming for a while now, but I must admit, I actually liked him once upon a time. His comedy specials weren’t just funny, they made you think about the abstract ideas of religion and consciousness. He was like a handsome rockstar comedian, the sort of person I wish I could be. Smart, sexy, cool, interesting. Hell, when I got sober from alcohol, reading his book that re-imagined the twelve steps into something less religious actually helped.
But then I heard the rumors, and it kind of fit with the image he gave himself. And then he made that abrupt turn into right-wing conspiracy and that all but confirmed it. To be honest I thought he’d already been charged with something and had just celebrity-ed his way out of it. Sucks, man.
I loved Dennis Miller back in the '80s, before he made his heel turn into a right-wing douche. In retrospect, I realize I actually just liked the SNL writers coupled with his snarky delivery.
Dennis Miller was a great writer himself, and wrote all of the Weekend Update stuff that he did, and a bunch of sketches. It’s ok to say he was once great at what he did, because he was. But I would recommend going back and watching Dennis Miller Live on HBO. I went back and re-watched it during the pandemic, and it’s pure Libertarian garbage wrapped up in snarky wit and big words. So he’s always been kind of a right-leaning douche, but 9/11 broke his brain and he dropped all the Libertarian pretense.
Hey, help is help, don’t let his failings mean that your success is somehow tarnished. I get the sentiment as well. He was a little over the top for my taste but the reboot of Arthus he did still ranks pretty high on my list.
But but but he found Jesus!
He was under the couch cushions the whole time!
How likely do you think it is that he’ll actually return to the UK to face charges? Or that Trump still extradite him?
Well, based on the fact that Trump forced Romanian authorities to give the Tate brothers their passports back and allow them to return to the US, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to step in and protect Russell Brand too. He’s a passionate defender of rapists (being one himself) and sex traffickers (having been BFFs with Epstein).
The Tate brothers thing was a bizarre one though. Soon as they landed in Florida they were being investigated again by US authorities and then they immediately hopped on a plane back to Romania.
Yeah but knowing those two they probably have multiple investigations in multiple states, ironically Trump has arguably more ability to influence foreign governments than a lot of the states. So if they did get charges slapped onto them by any one state they’d probably be cooked, especially since it’d be an easy win for any governor to chuck a pair of rapists to the wolves.
honest question here. unless there is video and audio proof. how the fuck could someone be charged for this 20+ years later over “he said she said”? like how the hell does that work. Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
Yes, that is how it works. They will be in prison the next day.
It’s actually really easy. All you have to do is prepare some evidence, such as text messages and emails in 2002.
Then you need to have several really cool and chill interviews with detectives. You should get your family and friends to lie to the police as well – tell them to say that you described the fabricated rape to them way back in 2002.
You should also make up some fake police reports from 2002 which were not pursued.
The real trick though is getting several other women to do the same thing.
Then yeah, the next day the police will arrest the person you’ve accused and they will be jailed without trial.
You’re a fucking idiot.
Sounds like a lot of not evidence to me. Also, probably bring it up sooner.
I imagine in the case of a false rape accusation, not only Lemmy would jump to this guy’s defense, but the accusation will totally not fuck this guy’s life forever
He was charged, not found guilty yet, a charge doesn’t automatically mean you’re guilty. You should wait for criminal proceedings to end before declaring he did it. So many people are quick to presume the guilt or innocence of people who were charged before they’re even convicted.
Relax buddy. He was asking a genuine question, not doubting the victim.
Yeah, he’s just asking questions, what’s the big deal?
Yeah, it was a genuinely dumb question.
Edit: also, this wasn’t a genuine question. Read it again, the poster makes a bunch of ridiculous assumptions to frame this as an absurd scenario. People who ask questions like this aren’t doing it in good faith, and they should be told to fuck off with prejudice.
You. I like you. Keep doing what you’re doing. 💛
Idk, you look a little rapey to me.
LOL goddamn
Are you ok? That is call law and order. You accuse someone, judge look into it, if there is a merit, it goes to trial, and law can determine based on evidence?
Did you read my question and comprehend it? I said other than video or audio proof how could there been be evidence in a case like this other than hearsay?
Likely there would be more evidence. Eye witness accounts of the two parties together around the time of the incident; photos taken before or after the assault; Hospital records; Police reports made that were not followed up at the time; Texts; Call logs; surveillance video. There is a lot of evidence that can support an accusation like this.
As to why it’s been so long, coming forward after events like this can be terrifying. People who have been assaulted can hold a lot of self-blame. They can feel alone in their trauma, and the chorus of “she was asking for it” and other bs would be a big deterrent from coming forward. Isolation and stigma are a big reason that powerful people have gotten away with being abusive monsters for so long. It’s also why multiple accusations seem to crop up at the same time. The claimants see others who have suffered like them and feel less isolated and more supported in their claims.
Did you read [email protected] 's answer? Cause it sure doesn’t seem like it.
Go on, read it first before coming back with your oh-so-valid ‘question’.
unless there is video and audio proof. how the fuck could someone be charged for this 20+ years later over “he said she said”?
Same way a cold murder case gets investigated when all the DNA has degraded. They rely on circumstantial evidence. Now, that word has been corrupted by procedural crime drama TV shows, but make no mistake, a LOT of criminal cases are successfully prosecuted based on circumstantial evidence, because it is still legitimate evidence even though it’s not direct evidence. They’ll go through his electronic devices and look at text messages and photos and retrieve voice mails, they’ll conduct interviews with others who were told about the allegations at the time and see how those stories line up, and so on.
I’m not as familiar with this particular case as others are, but from the other comments I’ve read, it looks like the victim(s) had already filed police reports 20+ years ago, but those didn’t go anywhere for whatever reason (lack of evidence, incompetent police work, etc). So that helps the case quite a bit.
Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?
Technically, yes. There have been cases where this has happened, although it is extremely rare. The police would investigate your allegations and almost certainly find them lacking, at which point you would be charged with filing false police reports, and most likely sued by the person you accused.
Here’s a fun statistic: A man is more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape. Just in case you were wondering how often the latter happens.
The way he groped Vanessa Bayer on SNL, I can’t say I’m surprised
For anyone who cares to watch:
Season 36, episode 15. Air date: Feb 12, 2011. Skit: Livin’ Single.Over a decade later, it still makes me uncomfortable.
Wait, was that amount of groping not part of the sketch?
I’d imagine they had that planned out, but you never know I guess.
Age-restricted videos cannot be watched without Google login
Lol. Can’t watch evidence of allegations of pundits and politicians without giving your phone number and therefor become personally identifiable.
So you believe that Google is sharing the personal details of everyone that watches particular videos with some shady left wing cabal of pundits? Maybe it’s just an inappropriate video.
They even cited the exact episode, there are plenty of other ways to see that clip if you don’t want to log in. And isn’t it always republicans passing laws requiring ID for “adult content”?
ALL of your videos. And to and however it’s most profitable. If not now in the future. And left wing causes have little money, so no lol.
Do we know that that wasn’t consensual? Did she say later that the bit went further than they had agreed?
Why am I not surprised.
Because he always been super rapey
I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.
I mean, he looks like a caveman so… prob has caveman brain.
