      Nope. He rubs some people the wrong way and he’s made some offensive jokes that pissed off others. Par for the course of any celebrity comedian and very undeserving of being on a list with Jimmy fucking Savil.

        When Ricky makes inappropriate jokes, it’s almost lovable cause he does it in a trolling way, but you can tell he’s actually not an intolerant guy, he’s just that mate we all have that loves dark comedy and when you tell him it’s not appropriate, he gets a sly smile cause he just thought up a really dark one while you were chewing him out

      @Ocelot

      The other two were protected for years by fear of litigation. So whoever made this meme is implying Gervais has victims too but it’s being suppressed by lawyers.

      Not yet but be honest, you wouldn’t be surprised if he had.

      And that’s how these scandles work.

          Nope.

          But journalists go looking for evidence for the most likely ones, then the stories come out.

          I like it when people who do this shit are held accountable. Shame that the ones that get held accountable aren’t more often shady business people and politicians.

              The implication is that if you want to find shady shit, you go looking for it with those who give off an air that they have something shady.

              Usually, someone who’s done or said things that have stirred up controversy or general media attention in the past.

              The ones that go unnoticed are the people journalists have to spend a paragraph explaining who this person is and why they’re a big deal.

              Much easier to get a scandal published if the public already recognise them and think “yeah, I thought there was something off about that person”.

              Edit: typo.
