“This f – – king bullshit wouldn’t have happened with Zelenskyy,” Penn said of Ukraine’s sixth president. “Will Smith would never have left that chair to be part of stupid violence. It never would have happened. I thought, well, f – – k, you know? I’ll give them to Ukraine. They can be melted down to bullets they can shoot at the Russians.”

I love the part of your story about the poetry slam. The story works without that context, but the fact you had this conversation at a poetry slam, surrounded by (in my imagination) bad poetry and snapping beatniks really elevated it somehow

I’ve heard the take of ‘not in front of the white people!’ And I’ve got mixed feelings on the idea. You’re right though - making fun of a black woman’s appearance is really fucked up and didn’t get nearly as much attention as the slap.

And who would want a partner who made shitty boomer jokes about them? I’ve never thought to make fun of my partner’s appearance to their face, let alone to others.

Will Smith is an African-American man. That slap triggered a lot of people’s latent racism.

yeah who gives a fuck about a celebrity being slapped. Like it’s such a small thing when you have any sense of perspective but people get so worked up about it it’s quite puzzling

I think celebrities should be slapping the living shit out of each other all the time. It’s the least they cann do for us, frankly

actor Sean Penn, noted for his consistent and rational sense of proportion.

During a break in filming, Penn attacked extra Jeffrey Klein, who photographed him and Robert Duvall. The court found that Penn spat and swore at Klein, who responded by spitting back at the actor, which prompted him to repeatedly punch the extra with a closed fist until members of the cast and crew successfully dragged him away.

Is that a fucking onion piece disguised as real news, or are actual events just that bizarre now?

that was the 80s, when young Hollywood was showing us provincial rubes how awesome and sophisticated cocaine was.

It may not be common knowledge to folks these days, but Penn was known to have a temper and got busted for assault a few times in the 80s. It’s silly to ask him to weigh in, and to consider his opinion as worthy of respect.

Therefore his petitition to compare his multiple assaults and will’s slap is summarily denied.

The man thinks the 33 days he spent in jail combined for all of his assaults gives him the right to be bitter? He’s enjoyed more than his share of privilege. he could use a good hard slap in the face.

Sean Penn is a truly vile person based on everything I’ve ever heard about him

CW violence, mentions of SA

Didn’t he literally tie up Madonna and beat and sexually assault her over a period of days? I don’t know if it was ever confirmed since Madonna supposedly tried to cover it up because it would be bad for her image

Well, according to the Daily Beast (so grain of salt but…)

CW: Just...lots, but also SA and violence and kidnapping

Article

According to a police report filed by Madonna, Penn scaled their Malibu home that afternoon, found Madonna alone in her bedroom, and told her that he owned her “lock, stock, and barrel.”

According to reports, “When she told him she was leaving the house, he tried to bind her hands with an electric lamp and cord. Screaming and afraid, Madonna fled from the bedroom. What followed was a nine-hour ordeal which left her deeply shaken. Penn chased her into the living room, caught her and bound her to a chair with heavy twine. Then he threatened to cut off her hair.”

He allegedly “smacked and roughed up” Madonna while she was tied to a chair, and then left for a few hours to buy more booze—leaving his then-wife bound and gagged—only to return and continue terrorizing her. He only agreed to untie her after she “agreed to perform a degrading sex act on him,” and then fled the house, got in her car, and raced to the sheriff’s office—eventually stumbling inside.
