the way the whole Two & a Half Men thing went down, his insane media blitz, the tweeting, getting together with one of the most famous porn stars at the time, that weird tour he did... it was unlike any other celebrity "breakdown" before. was of a piece with the Arab Spring imo, which happened just a month or two earlier, had a lot to do with traditional gatekeepers of information being undermined by social media

ah ok i wasn't aware it was a "breakdown", i thought he was just being a "bad boy" or something
― brimstead, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

I didn't think I could think any less of Seagal.
Didn't he movie to Russia specifically because he felt (a la Gary Glitter) that the West was too uptight about sexual predators?

there seemed to be a brief window after sheen meltdown #2 or 3 where it seemed like he was going to have a 'comeback' and then he admitted to having HIV and I believe perhaphs knowingly sleeping with women and not telling them, and then that was over. I can't really remember the last time he came up though. where is he now?

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore, now 70, said.
Of course, lol.
Don't know if the Louie one 'deserves' to be on this thread yet, though it's HR's choice to leave allegations against CK completely out of it, even though it's prob the reason?

This might not be a fair comment, I've never seen Louie, but I was hanging out with a bunch of dudes once, kinda performatively woke dudes, and we were listening to some Louis CK standup & it was funny but I was like "these rape jokes are kinda off no?" and they reassured me "no it's ok he did an episode about that"& in my head that's basically what Louie is
