What finally set Lee off, reported the Post, was when another comedian performing in the “Netflix Is A Joke” event made a crack about pedophilia – conjuring up Lee’s memories of being molested as a teenager.įootage of the attack showed Lee climbing onto the stage and flying at Chappelle, who he wrestled before running behind a screen. Still, he insisted that hurting Chappelle was not on his agenda, and while he admitted to bringing a replica gun concealing a knife to the show, he told the Post that he was not carrying it during the attack. “It’s a struggle and I wanted Dave Chappelle to know it’s not a joke.”
“I’m also a single dad and my son is five,” added Lee, who according to the Post has experienced homelessness himself.

I deleted his phone number and blocked him on social media. I will never hear from him again.Īnd I feel SO STUPID for trying to be this asshole’s friend! I can’t believe I did this to myself AGAIN!įuck it. Apparently the amount of time it will take him to text me and continue this friendship is forever.

I texted him for a week and mostly was left on read or got short, succinct responses. Can we be friends again? Do you want to be friends again? We struck an uneasy agreement that we would start by texting one another again just to check in. But the next day I texted him again and said I don’t feel like this is resolved. He said he was sorry I felt that way which just pissed me off. After 5 months, I texted him and said it seems like we’re not friends anymore and that was your decision, but it hurt because I really needed a friend and you vanished.

Marilyn's mind was a desert, a drought, with tiny compartments devoted to clothes, makeup, stardom, and fucking. Of course she understood none of it, because there was no fertile ground in which any of this could take hold: You can throw a multitude of seeds into the desert sands, but there will never be fruitage. Marilyn sought and developed her identity as a sex symbol she wiggled and cooed for the camera, but, incapable of satisfaction or understanding, she fought this image, so she would read Joyce and Schopenhauer and Woolf and Jung. "People praised Marilyn because she read books, because, I think, we couldn't conceive that an ambulatory bowl of rich vanilla ice cream needed to think or to grow a mind. Maybe she let him see only a part of who she was because she didn't trust him.
Marilyn was known for showing different sides of herself to different people. It's hard to imagine that they spent that much together. His take seems rather uncharitable coming from the same person who wrote Laura in Glass Menagerie. I don't think there's been a thread on this specific topic before.
