What's your favourite celebrity scandal?


Mine is Reese Witherspoon getting arrested. I always love when someone says "I'm an American" as if that means you can't do any wrong. Then to top it off, she pulled the "do you know who I am?" classic line.

My absolute favorite, and one I believe to be true, was the well-known reputation that Nancy Davis (later first lady), in her younger days, had for giving the best blowjobs in hollywood. Peter Lawford said so.

LauraGrace mentioned this. I've never heard about this before.

reply

my bad. the article linked is funny, though.

reply

It's brought me a lot of pleasure this holiday season.

reply

Every so called Male Feminist in Hollywood getting "Me Too'd". It shows they are nothing but massive hypocritical pieces of shit and are exposed as the real abusers of women.

reply

You are taking a number of celebrity scandals, and bundling them into a wingnut screed. but that's cool.

I took particular joy in the Charley Rose scandal, because I could never, never, ever stand him.

reply

Do you have a favourite? Mine is James Franco who even wore a "Me Too" pin on the red carpet.

reply

Probably Joss Weadon because he seemed to be the most outspoken in his virtue signaling lecturing on feminism all while he was cheating on his wife.

reply

I forgot about him. Eliza Dushku and Charisma Carpenter called him out too. I lost so much respect for him.

reply

I’ll mention one more and that would be Matt Lauer. I don’t think he was ever was the Male Feminist type but there are countless interviews he did in which he asked wrong and uncomfortable questions that made him look like a creep to women. I’d say he got what he deserved in the end.

reply

I'm a Tom Cruise fan and I Matt has been dead to me since that interview.

reply

Look up the Taxi Driver cast reunion interview on YouTube. It’s pretty disgusting the questions he asks Jodi Foster about John Hinkley Jr. . He should have known better.

reply

Just checked. She handled it perfectly but you can tell she was thinking how much of an asshole he is.

reply

since when is cheating on your wife a metoo violation. i do get the hypocrisy about the virtue-signaling, though.

tbh, if i was young and handsome and rich, i'd probably have a hard time staying in the lanes. i did when i was young and handsome and poor. :)

reply

Arrest me for what ? I’m sorry I thought this was America’

reply

Pathetic, isn't it?

reply

My recent fav was Conner McGregor attacking a bus with a chair granted that’s about as much scandal as anything from world wrestling entertainment

Here's another'n :

The accident-prone Lord Mountbatten was over-fond of boys, including Irish boys. Which might have played some part in his explosive demise..

Not a celebrity but that is quite a scandal.

reply

Not to quibble, but he was Viceroy of India (leaving there just as the civil war he precipitated broke out), and First Lord of the Admiralty (an honor bestowed upon him after crashing one of His Majesty's Destroyers and generally mucking about). Not to mention Dieppe...

He was actually pro-labour, so If he wasn't a nincompoop, disaster-monger and pedophile, I would have had some sympathy for the old fellow.

reply

This reminds me of the "This Is Spinal Tap" commentary. They did it in character and they spoke about one woman in the movie and said: "she's a liar, a cheater and a whore. But other than that, she's a really nice girl.".

reply

other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln ?

reply

Eddie Murphy bring arrested for solicitation of a tranny prostitute and the Simpsons making reference to it with Krusty saying he was arrested for a girl hooker who he at least thinks was a woman, to which Marge says "Krusty is gay?"

reply

This reminds me of the Hugh Grant one.

Cesar Romero and orange wedges

I never knew he was gay. I also never knew he was into oranges (or tangerines).

reply

Another rumor--that god knows who started it--involves Danny Thomas hiring prostitutes to take a crap on a glass coffee table while he watched underneath.

Mentioned by Julia Louis-Dreyfus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knSmggzNY00

reply

In terms of real ones, someone mentioned Jussie Smollett, I'll vote for that

reply

Haven't we all hired prostitutes to take a crap on a glass coffee table so we could look underneath?

reply

College admissions scandal was juicy stuff.
