Toxic Masculinity

NICK LACHEY’S VERSION OF TOXICITY

Everybody’s talking about Will Smith’s episode of toxic masculinity, but let’s not forget about Nick Lachey’s equally toxic behavior the same night. Nick and his wife Vanessa walked out of Mastro’s Steakhouse with a friend and Nick happened to see a female photographer taking photos of him with her phone from her car parked on the street. He started cursing at her and bolted over to her car- she quickly rolled up the window. Nick pounded on the window and yelled insults, but she was scared and didn’t roll it down. When he finally walked away, she lowered the window enough to ask “Why are you so mad?” That set him off again – he turned and ran back to her car and struggled, trying to reach in and grab her phone. He didn’t get it, but he walked away yelling insults, giving her the finger, and sticking out his tongue. Really, Nick? You should be flattered that someone WANTS your photo…

T.I. ASSERTS HIS MASCULINITY FOR WIFE TINY

Here we have rapper T.I. asserting his masculinity on his way to Craig’s with his wife Tiny. It so happens that men are less likely to wear face coverings in public than women because they think it “makes the look weak.” This manly behavior unfortunately proves that TOXIC MASCULINITY KILLS, because men are much more likely to DIE of Covid-19 than women!

WILL THE REAL ELLEN DEGENERES PLEASE STAND UP!

We were as surprised as you are to hear about the “toxicity” on the set of the Ellen Degeneres show. But we were even MORE surprised to note that TMZ has never written a negative word about the Ellen or her show, despite the fact that they MUST have seen this coming! BuzzFeed totally eclipsed TMZ with this scoop and we can tell you why. TMZ and Ellen are both Warner Bros shows, so apparently TMZ was “discouraged” from writing negative info about Ellen. It’s the same kind of intimidation that makes employees afraid to report their bosses, and women afraid to accuse powerful men of crimes. Insiders say powerful Ellen is NOT the nice person she appears to be on TV. We applaud Brad Garrett for being the ONLY celebrity courageous enough to speak the truth about Ellen – of course he’s now blackballed from her show!

HOWARD STERN: AN UNLIKELY BUT WELCOME FEMINIST

We were SO happy to hear Howard Stern speak out about Gabrielle Union’s recent departure from America’s Got Talent and her charges against producers. Howard himself was a judge on the show for four years ending in 2015 and he blames AGT creator/producer Simon Cowell for the toxic “boys club” culture on the NBC series. (As if NBC didn’t have enough problems with sexism!) Howard charged that the male judges stay for years “no matter how old or ugly or boring they are.” He said “Cowell replaces the hot chicks with hotter, younger chicks – why don’t they replace Simon?” THANK YOU Howard – for pointing out the obvious – the men (or should we say “boys”) at NBC just can’t seem to get it right!

JASON STATHAM IS FAST AND FURIOUS OFF-CAMERA ALSO

Oozing toxic masculinity, Jason Statham scowls as he pulls his beautiful girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley out the door of a fancy restaurant in London. He just had a delicious meal with a supermodel that most men would die for, but he couldn’t muster up a pleasant look for the few moments it took to push his way past fans and paparazzi waiting outside as he walked to his waiting car? Looking like a tough guy is apparently WAY more important than acting like a nice guy to the Fast and Furious star…
