so is he a creep and a weirdo? yes. which shouldn't be a shock to anyone seeing as thats the basis of his entire stand up career.
but is he a sexual predator? doesn't seem like it to me.
if i'm misunderstanding the situation or missing something please correct me.
i take a pretty hard line against sexual assault but this seems like a smear campaign.
they're trying to make him out to be another cosby.
This seems about right,
Definitely weird, but that comedy scene is dark as ****. Obv no excuse for abuse, and abuse of power, if that in fact happened though....
He asked, some said no. Some were wierded out, but it seems at no stage did he force anyone to stay, get between them and the door, and looks like everyone/anyone was free to leave at any point.
Thing is, the first reaction is to wince and cringe at the idea of it all, but they are grown, and if its all consented, then wgaf.
If he used his power over vulnerable and aspiring comedians wanting to ladder up, and or if he forced them to sit and watch then he should be called out and held accountable
