Man this thread is mild.
I was looking at Depp's wikipedia page recently and I noticed a Polanski film. I never really looked into all that but I knew that was kind of sketchy. Turns out Polanski plead guilty to raping a child in the 70s and has been a fugitive from the State of California ever since. It's not like it's a secret, everyone knows, and they still keep working in his fucking movies. Depp just wanted to work with him so bad, he didn't give a fuck. Likewise a bunch of other A-list stars, producers, publishers... and then every one of them acts like they give such a big fuck about Weinstein. It's so performative, it's sickening.
alot of actors,producers want to be hollywood elite circles to stay employed. Rob mac has been with questionable(although not terrible) people like ryan reynolds, seems to have done something that media doesnt talk about, and hanging out with "tom brady", all the fans know hes desperate to hang onto the teets of hollywood(as the isaip crew is basically fading from the industry). depp pretty much piad the price by getting blacklisted by amber heard. polanski fled to portugul to escape prosecution.
Polanski had sex with a teenager. She is still saying she consented. I know, it's still rape, it's still vile, but I thought I'd point out that he didn't abuse a 5-year old in case you got that impression.
The age of consent is 18 so no she legally could not consent.
Rockstars and underage groupies. Steven Tyler, Jimmy Page, and Anthony Kiedis to name a few. I think even David Bowie had some questionable stuff too.
Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myra_Lewis_Williams
"On December 12, 1957, at the age of 13, Williams married Jerry Lee Lewis, then 22, in Hernando, Mississippi.[3][2] When Lewis arrived in London for a 37-date tour in May 1958, Williams revealed to a reporter at the airport that she was his wife.[4] Lewis asserted that Williams was 15 years old and was his wife of two months. However, it was discovered that she was only 13, and that they had been married for five months.[5] This caused an uproar and, after a few dates, the tour was cancelled.[4] By the time they returned to Memphis, it had been discovered that Williams was not only Lewis' wife, she was also his first cousin once removed. In addition, Lewis had not yet divorced his previous wife, Jane Mitcham.[4] After Lewis finalized his divorce from Mitcham, he remarried Williams on June 4, 1958.[5] The scandal over their marriage was a significant set back to Lewis' promising rock and roll career,[6] though his 1986 naming to the first group of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members recognized Lewis' early influence on the genre. Lewis would also find success in country music.[7]
By 1970, Lewis' drug addiction, alcoholism, and infidelity had taken a toll on their marriage.[8][9] Williams filed for divorce on the grounds of adultery and abuse,[5] stating that she had been "subject to every type of physical and mental abuse imaginable."[4][8] Their divorce was finalized on December 9, 1970. They had two children.[10]"
Steve Tyler also basically bought an underage girl to take on tour with him. He admitted to having sex with her while underage in his book. In court he argued since he was her legal guardian it was okay for him to have sex with her.
Oh and Frank Zappa's band/roadies were pretty insane to groupies...
The grammar in OP's first paragraph is a disturbing crime but doesn't meet the other criteria.
Matthew Broderick killed 2 people while drunk driving in 1987 and got away with it
Edit: he was not drunk, he swerved into oncoming traffic. He was in northern Ireland and his reason for doing so is unknown by his account, he can't remember anything about it.
I did not find any evidence anywhere that he was drunk or intoxicated.
It seems he was driving on the wrong side of the road because he's used to driving on the other side, because he's from America and he was in Northern Ireland.
The last part I'm not entirely sure about. But I did not find any evidence of him being drunk or intoxicated in any way.
James Willems, is that you?
Not too long ago I met this girl, who had dated this waiter who once served Madonna a whiskey sour in a bar in Luton, and apparently she fished the ice out of her glass with her FINGERS. And she had a bit of parsley stuck between her front teeth.
Jesus H Fucking Christ in a Taxicab!
That's fucking disgusting. I bet she didn't even traffic any children that year either.
That was the year she assassinated Weird Al
Oh yeah? This makes me like Madonna more. I would assumed real assholes would tell the waiter to remake their drink instead of just fixing it herself. Good for her.
Who cares about the parsley?
Oh no, Madonna is a human!
not after those plastic surgery stints. she reclaimed her natural form.
"Ray of light" was originally a unit of distance used to measure the gap between her two front teeth
You just wanted to shit on Chappelle. You just dressed it up as something else.
Like there's something wrong with shitting on Chappelle?
Chappelle’s views on trans people is enough that I won’t watch any of his content anymore.
