Magician David Copperfield is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior from 16 women, as revealed in an investigation by the
Again?
This isn’t the first time Copperfield has faced allegations of sexual impropriety. Back in 2018, he vehemently denied similar accusations, stating on Twitter that he has endured years of false news stories about fabricated acts and emphasized his innocence.
Sigh… I dunno, man.
endured years of false news
Why would there be so many false stories about one celeb and not others? It’s not proof and he should get a fair trial. It’s just odd that the same story would be falsely accused so many times. It certainly doesn’t look good.
The cynic in me is like, what if these lawyers are strategizing like that? They know that if many people make the same claim it builds a stronger case.
But the logical part of my brain says HMMM…, how plausible is that, really.
Hm, his statement in response to the Guardian is very unusual for someone accused of sexual misconduct. Either he feels very safe that he can hide this, or he really didnt do it and somehow is the target of a campaign.
Edit: The Guardian article literally has names and photos of the women who accuse him. That’s enough to convince me that they indeed were violated by him.
Just wait he could exonerate himself by exposing that the crimes were actually perpetrated by a secret identical twin brother or by opening up a warehouse full of dead clones and claiming that one of them did it.
I am curious – why does the article including the names and photos of his accusers make this more credible to you?
Because for one, it means the Guardian actually spoke to multiple people and didnt just hear something via three other people. And it means those people are actually willing to have their names and faces known publically. Making false allegations under your real name would be quite stupid.
It would be really odd for there to be some shadowy targeted campaign against him considering he’s mostly irrelevant as a celebrity these days. Why would anyone go through the trouble and what could possibly be gained? He’s probably got some money but he’s not Oprah rich.
“Got some money”? He owns a bunch of islands in the Bahamas, with prices for 1 week stay starting at over $1M (probably much more these days since I’ve red about it a decade ago). That’s where people who are recognised everywhere in the world are going for their holidays, weddings, whatever.
For my next trick, I’ll make this pickle disappear!
It’s an illusion, Gob. A trick is something a whore does for money.
Or cocaine!
I have a feeling Copperfield is no stranger to making cocaine disappear.
He was in Epstein’s little black book. Not exactly surprising.
He’s David Fucking Copperfield, nobody at all is surprised, his entire being just oozes creep energy and entitled douchiness.
Minors?.. No mercy.
OK if no one else will say it… David Cop-a-feel?
David Cop-a-feel
Damn it was true all along.
Here we go again, oh boy!
in before he comes out as a conservative and goes on a grifting world tour
Ta-dah!
Finally!
My David cop-a-feel jokes will TAKE OFF
Edit; I am not as creative as I thought
He was making the sausage dissapear…
He has a track record of standing up for women’s rights
Yeah, dead giveaway. I hate to say it, but I have never once met or even heard of a man that was staunchly and loudly feminist that wasn’t compensating for their abusive sexual proclivities or just trying to gaslight women into sex. To me its a giant red flag. Most good men believe in equal rights and treat people equally, but don’t really go out of their way to convince the people around them that they’re trustworthy, unless they want you to trust them so they can take advantage of you. Hardcore feminist men are nine times out of ten total fucking creeps, unfortunately.
Hmm, the psychology behind this claim is… Interesting.
Not surprised to see this coming from a conservative honestly
What makes you think I’m a conservative? I’m probably the farthest thing from a conservative you’ve ever spoken to on the internet. I must’ve hit a nerve here, seems like there are a lot of creeps masquerading as feminists hoping to get some puss out of it, can’t have people putting their strategy out there.
When it quacks like a duck
I remember your previous comments but nice try
FYI when you write out a thesis about how no one could be doing something for a genuine reason then that reinforces previous reasons to think you’re a conservative
I didn’t say no one, I said 90%, and that I personally have never met one of those 10%. Plenty of people are genuine, just not most people loudly championing holier than thou causes.
I said 90%
No you didn’t.
They totally did.
Doh - yeah, they absolutely did. Edited.
So you’re claiming that you’ve known a significant number of sexual assaulters but no other type of male who calls themselves a feminist?
Personally I could’ve seen your point if everything you wrote about it, along with past statements, hadn’t rubbed me the wrong way. It was like you were just waiting to find a way to bring down “feminists”.
Edit: went back and reread and can find nothing about 90% anywhere. You making shit up to backpedal?
Most men I know are what you’d call feminists. They don’t beat their wives, don’t expect women to be virgins, like women to have careers, that kind of stuff, comfortable and happy with competent, confident independent women and want that for their daughters. But none of them go out of their way to let everyone know how important women’s rights are to them, and of the handful that I’ve met that did, I’d catch them salivating at 13 year olds, “false assault allegations” in their past, or just have an undeniable fucking creep vibe to them. This one high school teacher I met that got outraged at me over asking him if he’s ever been attracted to a student is on the registry now for fucking underage students. There’s one particularly prominent example that comes to mind (that I won’t go into details about) that was by far the most culture warrior man I’ve ever met that turned out was a complete predator and scumbag who should be dead. Needless to say I don’t hang around people once I get that kind of understanding of their character. These people have all been friend of a friend type acquaintances, and a few have been short term boyfriends of feministy female friends of mine who have agreed with my sentiment wholeheartedly since then.
You look at all the me too people in the public eye, almost every single one of them was out front with the activism. It’s just my experience, people that go out of their way to let everyone know they’re a Good Person™ usually have all kinds of unsavory shit they want to keep from getting out. It’s like the preacher that’s molesting little boys while telling people they’ll burn for being gay, but the left leaning version.
Okay so you’re all about suspicion toward people who need you to know their morals. So then what does it say about your need to let everyone know you’re not like those “feminists”?
Also I don’t think your me too comment checks out at all. Harvey Weinstein was not an "activist " for women. Nor was Kevin Spacey, R Kelly, Bill Cosby, Garrison Keillor, etc. the only example I can think of where you could have a point would be Louis CK. So yeah, far from “almost every single one of them”.
And finally, you extrapolated all of this shit from that one sentence in the article… Not a good look
Your anecdotal experiences do not translate into people as a whole.
The first name.that came.to my mind for someone like that was Hugo Schwyzer (I’m probably spelling that wrong) - he was very much a very outspoken feminist who made a point of drawing attention to how feminist he was at every opportunity. He was also a women’s studies professor.
Honestly, some of his writing gave me the vibe of what it would sound like if you were a recovering addict and chose feminism as the higher power in your 12 step program.
Eventually it comes out that he nearly decided to murder-suicide an ex, and that he was a women’s studies professor because it gave him access to an ever rotating stable of young, impressionable women to hook up with.
When he admitted to all that the wording again reminded me of 12 step program talk, like he was taking steps 5-7 publicly online because online feminism was the God he believed in for the program. It…didn’t get the response I think he hoped for. Less absolution and more ostracism and banishment.
Hiding in plain sight is a saying for a reason. But sticking up for women’s rights is not a dead giveaway that you are a rapist.
That’s an impressively cynical take, even for the internet. Think I’ve had enough for tonight, yeesh.
but don’t really go out of their way to convince the people around them that they’re trustworthy, unless they want you to trust them so they can take advantage of you.
You just described the job of a stage magician.
Bernie Sanders has entered the chat
Standing up for women’s rights doesn’t necessarily equal creep - that’s what men should be doing. But you’re not wrong that men who are overly vocal about saying they’re a feminist are often creeps. It’s kind of like the Nice Guy thing in my experience - if you have to tell me (ad nauseum) how nice you are, I’m definitely suspicious. Men who are actually feminists don’t usually feel the need to say it 30 times in their dating profile, they’re just out there living it and it’ll be obvious to anyone paying attention.
I’ll bite. Give me 9 “hardcore feminist men” then.
don’t really go out of their way to convince the people around them that they’re trustworthy, unless they want you to trust them so they can take advantage of you.
You just described Trump, every televangelist, and anyone in business.
I don’t disagree with your assessment.
