It'll never stop being hilarious how desperate people are to change the subject after getting outed as deeply terrible people.

That Batali "apology" reeks of the same hubris that Weinstein exhibited when he started talking about a redemption tour. Ya done, homie. Your cinnamon bun recipe ain't deflecting poo poo.

can someone call up the SNL writers room and ask them to write a skit where Mario Batali apologizes for increasingly egregious instances of sexual harassment while going through a typical morning show recipe bit? bring Moynahan back to play Batali and have Cecily Strong play the host.

Scones are Good posted:If you want to read about the Fieri being afraid of gay people stuff it's in this article, attributed to David Page who was supposedly a producer for 11 seasons i would like to follow up on this because i just saw this article and it makes me feel slightly better about Guy Fieri knowing he officiated 101 simultaneous gay weddings in Florida. also it talks about his relationship with his sister who passed away around that time, who was a gay woman with a partner and son who Fieri is still close with. it's entirely possible that Guy had some lovely opinions about gay people that were slowly broken down because of his relationship with his sister, which is how quite a few people came around to believing in equality for all sexualities.

I was all ready to hate Fieri as a homophobe, until he showcased my friend's wonderful bakery-restaurant on his show this year. She is an out and proud lesbian, and she told us he was warm, friendly, polite, gracious, and professional in all his dealings with her, and that he spoke fondly of his sister with her.

Shane Torres has the definitive Guy Fieri opinion. "...but because he has flames on his shirt, everybody shits all over him like he's a member of Nickleback."

There once was a time where you could poo poo on people for just kinda seeming like a douchebag or being kinda annoying. But now the stakes are higher.

When I lived in Baltimore, I got to know the owner of a restaurant that was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives pretty well, because the place was literally a block and a half away from my house and I ate there every Saturday. The owner said that being on the show was huge for business and they get an uptick every time the episode re-runs, but that Fieri was also absolutely intolerable during the entire shoot, very distant and quiet and rude to the staff, turning it up for the cameras. The shoot for a five-minute segment also shut down the restaurant for an entire day.

And for a small corner diner that's open for literally twelve hours a day, losing an entire day's worth of receipts (plus the costs of the food that has to be prepped to be shown on-camera and for "customers" to be eating) kind of stings.

Yeah, but you said so yourself, the show helped their business enormously, and continues to do so every time that episode is shown.

It’s a long term investment, and a sound one from what you’ve said. You pretty thoroughly undercut your point before you even tried to make it.

guy may be obnoxious but of the few DDD-featured restaurants i've visited, none have been less than great, and one of them was a few blocks away from my apartment in Chicago for over a year and had some truly bomb-rear end burgers and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls.

Rhyno posted:I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I It might still happen but it's probably going to be less common or outed abusers will lose a greater slice of their fame and power. Right now there are so many people being found out that at least a few abusers are hoping to sink back into the shadows and wait until accusations thrown their way to fade quietly into the night and then come back out after some time and pretend like nothing's happened.

I mean gently caress I used to think that Hans Blix was a dumbass and we had to bomb Iraq not to get rid of WMDs but just to get it over with. I was a very difficult person in 2003 and I'm a difficult person now even if I believe in Gay Socialism Now and hanging Trump from the neck until dead. As far as I'm concerned it's like the comedian said, Fieri is living the dream.

MacheteZombie posted:I had to stop reading this partway through. loving horrible. Yeah, this is bad. And I don't want to be that guy and generalize, but TJ Miller has always struck me as like, a really gross dude. Up until now I've attributed that to the weird air of arrogance and condescendence that seems to surround him. But it these accusations are true, that pushes those markers closer to the realm of sociopathy.
