Jerry Seinfeld? The man who, at 39 years old, dated a 17 year old high school student?
*Raped
As gross as this is, and clearly a 17 year old is not an adult by any real standard, but depending on the state it was legal. Just fucking gross and wrong immortal and he should be shamed into Oblivion for doing it.
Isn’t this the guy who raped an underaged girl?
You are going to need to be way more specific than that in this day and age.
"I don't care about Palestine," says the comfortable billionaire. He doesn't mean he doesn't care about the issue. He's just OK with genocide as a final solution, like the vast majority of Israel.
“I don’t preach about [the war]. I have my personal feelings about it that I discuss privately. It’s not part of what I can do comedically, but my feelings are very strong.”
His feelings:
I mean, no one should be surprised. Seinfeld has been a zionist from day one. Most of the cast of the show Seinfeld were zionists. Zionists are unfortunately a lot more present in media than anyone would like to believe, in addition to having many positions of power.
You mean the guy who spent decades rehabilitating his racist friend is racist?
It's amazing these people still think that all Jewish people agree with them. Or do they think a huge part of the global Jewish population just became "self-hating" or whatever term they'd use overnight?
Jewish voices are deeply involved in Palestinian solidarity movements across the world and at almost every level, so statements like this are just fucking insane.
We don't like innocent people being killed. This isn't hard.
Yeah the one who claims to be a comedian on his taxes but I literally cannot find a video of him doing a set that makes humans laugh.
Exactly what I'd expect from the billionaire leech class.
I wonder what he thinks about a thirty-eight year old man dating a seventeen year old? Oh wait we know already.
Dude's been fuckin' gross for years, nobody should take moral advice from this pedo.
The Klan lit churches on fire and killed people. He thinks some words are worse than that? What a psycho.
Trivializing the KKK just adds another level of implicit racism to his explicit racism.
I never liked him with his canned laughter sitcom and his conformist suburban humor—a bit like a pop song that hasn't aged well, the kind that was successful in its day but is so unoriginal, boring, and unimaginative that no one wants to hear it anymore.
In hindsight, it wasn't a show about nothing. It was the second best sitcom about friends in NYC.
Seinfeld is a bigot piece of shit. No surprises there.
That's too bad, I liked his show back in the day, now I guess he'll be shown as often as the Cosby show
This is what ethnonationalism does to a mfer
I can proudly say I never found this guy funny. Always seemed like an asshole to me.
The bassline outros in his TV show were funnier than the man himself.
Yah suprise fucking billionaire is an asshole.
Fuck off rapist
Honestly never thought much of the guy… guess he won, I’m going to go delete the Frogger episode. The only one worth pirating 😝🦜
I was expecting a joke. There was no joke.
Yeah there was. It was the guy talking.
Jerry Seinfeld is less funny than the Ku Klux Klan.
Hes been a racist piece of shit since sinfield. Probably long before.
He's a comedian. Leave him alone. I'm like 100% certain he's not a total socio retard that doesn't see a starving child and understand that something is wrong. He's probably just pulling your leg so that we have the conversation.
Please don't go orange turd! Jerry!!!
Not to excuse him or anything—but I have to remind myself that high-profile targets of anti-semitism (or racism in general) are exposed to orders of magnitude more of it than private individuals, and are correspondingly more likely to interpret it as a cause of things that anyone else can see have other motivations.
Being high profile has multiple aspects. One is that they're targeted. Another is that their public statements can get a lot of traction.
So, I don't excuse him in any way to spread propaganda and misinformation, even if it's a result of his personal trauma.
He has a responsibility not to do that as a long time high profile person.
