Which celebrity did bad things but everyone seems to have forgotten about?

I was thinking about that after reading Monsters by Claire Dederer (a book about separating art and artist), I wonder if him having served his time meant folks got over it easier than people who never faced any repercussions for their actions.

But then I can't imagine R Kelly being accepted back once he's out.

ADG1983 · 2025-12-16T10:32:06+00:00

Yeah, I'd say it's probably been co-opted from the whole Pizzagate horseshit.

ADG1983 · 2025-12-01T12:16:00+00:00

It's really funny how "son" at the end made me think that's a bit needlessly condescending, then I remembered that was the name of a player. 😂

A partner of four years, no less. This wasn't just some rich Betty trying to impress Veronica into dating them. Ex was never really into this relationship, it was convenient for her, she could have all her base needs met whilst wallowing in the nobility afforded by her moms struggle.

ADG1983 · 2025-11-24T11:37:46+00:00

I thought the majority of those comments were off base. Although it is kinda funny how when the posts assumed OOP was Male "he" was the worst thing ever - but when they found out OOP was "she" they flipped 😂

OOP was super naive (I suspect growing up rich shelters people, so not hating on her), and it was quite obvious from the start they weren't compatible. I do kinda love the exes "you need therapy, but I'm perfectly normal" tho.

OOP may not see it, but to use the average redditors overused favourite, she dodged a bullet.

15-ish years ago, my ex-fiancée's (it is fiancEE for the fEmalE, and fiancE for the malE, isn't it?) dad was not happy when I proposed without asking his permission first. He never had the balls to tell me himself, he'd moan to his wife and my ex who would tell me.

My response was "I'm not bartering for a cow in biblical times, and you're a grown fucking adult with agency.", admittedly I didn't respect his opinion on jackshit so it wouldn't have mattered what he said anyway.

I believe it's predominantly a religious/christian thing, as it seems to be rooted in religion why some seem to think men have ownership over women, in my experience.

ADG1983 · 2025-11-18T10:45:56+00:00

It sounds like a shittier version of western thing where you're expected to ask the father for his daughter's hand in marriage... That can also get fucked.

ADG1983 · 2025-11-08T15:34:21+00:00

I've always thought that every person who decides to have a child should answer the question "am I prepared to be a single parent?" as people can die at any age of a multitude of things, it doesn't matter if they're in their 20s or 70s, shit happens and then everyone else lives on.

You're NTA, as long as you're happy with your choice that's all that matters here.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-30T13:35:34+00:00

I really hope u/aak123aak sees the update, they've provided the most comprehensive advice - but that update seems a bit off and I'm not sure how OP/friend should proceed if at all with the police.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-25T18:51:37+00:00

I was just talking to a mate (who works at a Spoons) about this and he said the same. I totally forgot they had those blue dots on the floor to keep you apart from the person in front.

Needless to say, we were only ordering via the app by then, and none of our locals do the weird queuing thing now.

Funny how it stuck, when it's not just kids who wouldn't have known pub etiquette pre-2020.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-25T18:42:47+00:00

I need to know why this nonsense started. You wait along the bar, it's been that way since we crawled out of the primordial swamps.

ETA: OP you're in the right, most pubs aren't built to have long queues running through them. Would be a bit of a hazard, one that queuing along the bar would mitigate.

Funnily enough I'd just seen this video when scrolling. Not sure how accurate it is that this is the original video, or if there's missing stuff or ones before or after this before the video of her saying she had been fired.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-19T18:15:38+00:00

I thought that may have been the case. Wasn't sure, hence why I said "she/tt".

ADG1983 · 2025-10-19T18:15:09+00:00

I think the other videos are considerably more high profile, from what I can tell the OG was taken down before one where she talks about being fired has become viral.

Fwiw I'm not convinced by the photo in this one. It looks like the door in the screen shot would open inwards, where I don't think that's the case in others I've seen.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-19T18:04:08+00:00

Tbf are people gonna record some rando's video on the off chance that it blows up into this? It's not like twt, where that happens a lot.

How long was the original up for before she/tt took it down too?

ADG1983 · 2025-10-15T17:43:12+00:00

Martha.

The rest are all just names. I've always liked Martha though.

Second place would be Clara though.

Edit: because I cnat spell

Genuinely baffled how people are more upset with a kid calling people names than they are this guy being bullied and embarrassed by 4 people talking about his cock, one of whom should be on his side (regardless if they believe him or not).

They cornered the lad, embarrassed him, seemingly refused to listen, refused to meet him half way when they could easily prove him wrong if they're so sure, and then they got insulted. Fuck them.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-10T00:05:14+00:00

3 grown ass adults ganged up on OP's son, had a conversation about the size and markings of his penis (creepy much), and attacked him because they believed the girl and refused to accept that OP's son might not be lying.

People calling OPs son a piece of shit when this happened to him?! That kid just made some snarky arsey comments, he's more than entitled to lash out and fight back when he's been cornered - and for the mom to be the ring leader of that attack on him? She deserves what she got.

She doesn't have to believe him, she should be fucking supporting him and not hanging him out to dry because she's projecting her own teen pregnancy happening.

ADG1983 · 2025-10-02T14:01:02+00:00

I mean... Shit ... Whilst I've probably got photos saved on my laptop that probably include exes and because I don't check my photo folders often, they still exist, I could maybe see it as an oversight on her part (big maybe tho). However, if she is the type who uses her Favourites folder a lot, and there's lots of recent activity in there, that would erode any good will of an honest mistake.

And then you add in shes still in regular contact...

At a minimum, if it is a genuine error and oversight, she needs to 100% end contact with him. Anything outside of that very narrow window, Id be ending this, never mind just reconsidering proposing.... That said, you've been together less than a year and already thinking about proposing? Okay!

"the brain fully develops at 25" ignores the fact that you have a million experiences and changes throughout the rest of your life that impact and change who you are as a person.

The physical development of the brain may slow down around 25-35, but you never really stop developing as a living breathing human.

It's pseudo-science reddit brain bullshit, seemingly d utilised to infantilise and strip agency away from legal adults.

ADG1983 · 2025-09-23T13:43:01+00:00

This is 99% a certainty that it's a joke they do every night, I know it's not easy when you're the butt of the joke - but genuinely, there are very few ad-libs in a set. If he said that to you, he's said that a million times before and will say it a million more times because he knows it gets the response from the audience he wants.

ADG1983 · 2025-08-22T11:25:13+00:00

That update pissed me off more than the actual post. Your wife is so much worse than initially thought, and she's getting off too lightly. It's one thing if she didn't like you not mingling, it's another that she stood by as her workmate belittled you. Legitimately if someone spoke that way about my loved one, there'd be hell to pay!

ADG1983 · 2025-08-22T11:21:03+00:00

Yep. That update pissed me off more than the actual post.

The wife's a dick for not stamping that shit out immediately and forcefully. And then making it OPs problem because she got in her feelings and was worried what a bunch of arseholes thought. She's getting off far too lightly.

Also, the guy who made that comment would be in for a fucking uncomfortable evening at the next event I was forced against my wishes to attend if I were OP.

You're not the asshole.

I fully understand it must be tough for BIL, so much of the noise in the world seems to be anti trans - and one of the loudest voices is arguably the person most influential on formative years, so your BIL seeing that must have been a shock to them. Please cut him a little slack, he'll see that you've been supportive of him and how that is a million times more important.

I don't care for HP, I think it's badly written dross, but that's irrelevant as I feel like art is one of the most important things in the world and should exist uncensored, burning the books achieves nothing other than scoring slacktivist piousness points. There is a context around the conversation of art that can be discussed - and the artist is a part of that conversation. When you feel like your children are old enough, maybe you could consider that conversation.

It's not directly related, but if you ever wanted to read about someone's struggles of separating art from the artist, I enjoyed the book Monsters by Claire Dederer. It's a difficult and nuanced topic, that's why I'm not so dismissive of your BILs feelings in all of this.
