It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Umm..."lucrative Christian comedy scene"? I had no idea such a thing existed...Vulture reports today that Netflix has shelved plans to release a new comedy special from Christian comedian John Crist, who’s been accused by multiple women of a series of sexually inappropriate behaviors. According to a report published yesterday by Christian magazine Charisma, at least five women have reported a pattern of behavior in which Crist allegedly leveraged his fame and popularity as one of the most popular comics currently working on the lucrative Christian comedy scene in order to lure them into sexual situations and relationships, sometimes going so far as to hold out tickets to his shows and tours as bait in exchange for sexual favors.

Destiny USA.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Dude ain't wired right. I've found him funny as a podcast guest, but I wasn't a fan of his last special. He relied so much on saying shit in a stupid voice, and it was getting really annoying.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:07 am So...Chris D'elia...trending on Twitter...for all the wrong reasons.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured she must have given how much that show was hers. She's pretty outspoken on twitter on the progressive side of things usually, will be curious to see her reaction to this. Will Wheaton went silent and left twitter for awhile I think when he defended _______ (can't remember now) when something similar happened in his friend world.The Sybian wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:09 amThey were friends long before the show.

Chris Hardwick is who you're thinking of. I think that was only part of his exit. It's a very toxic place and WW struggles with depression. He's written about it openly and extensively on his blog.tennbengal wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:23 amYeah, that makes sense. I figured she must have given how much that show was hers.

FWIW, Hardwick got screwed in that whole situation. That was a perfect example of someone using MeToo to tarnish someone's reputation. There was one disgruntled/pissed off ex girlfriend spreading a bunch of shit around. No other women came forward.BSF21 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:44 amChris Hardwick is who you're thinking of.

Also, his wife seems like about the nicest human being in existence.
Generic wealthy white dudes?
He's still the host of a major game show on a major network, has his AMC talk show gig, a regular podcast with celebrity interviews. Honestly I think all he lost with that whole thing was some face and it allowed him to exit social media in general with a plausible excuse as to why he had to. No more self promotion, no more dealing with whiny fans. Probably a win/win/win for him overall.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:52 amFWIW, Hardwick got screwed in that whole situation.

Overall, boohoo Chris Hardwick who is still very wealthy and all that. But I'll just reiterate that the whole "believe all women" thing needs to be tempered.
Youth sports coaches?
Yeah, I'm not some Hardwick mark. Listened to Nerdist and watched his Walking Dead aftershow... until I didn't.BSF21 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:11 amHe's still the host of a major game show on a major network, has his AMC talk show gig, a regular podcast with celebrity interviews.

And yes, I read a lot of it and Dykstra's commentary sounded like she was younger than him, insecure, and maybe a little more willing to go along with some sexual kinks in the moment that she regretted later. Obviously not excusing any shitty behavior, but I kind of liken it to what happened to Aziz Ansari. Bad situation and poor communication by insecure people turned into something it didn't need to be.
For sure. I think we're kinda the same temperature here. I was never a fanboy but I enjoyed his voice and humor until I kind of didn't. IDK.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:53 amYeah, I'm not some Hardwick mark.

Just noting that he was a good example (like Aziz) that there needs to be degrees and separation when it comes to that stuff. Also tempered by my wife watching and recounting the Epstein show on Netflix.
