    I think you may be reading him wrong. He keeps saying he isn’t him or anyone else. I think he thinks that he is just a guy, and Jim Carrey is his Batman. I kinda feel bad for the guy, as it seems that he has to keep feeding the machine so he can pay for whatever debts he’s trying to take care of.

      “He keeps saying he isn’t him or anyone else.”

      The guy doesn’t want to take responsibility for the terrible things he’s done like driving Cathriona White to suicide or him being a massive hypocrite when he took action movie money then claimed that anyone who sees the movie is endorsing irl violence.

      He’s just another washed comedian from the 90’s who thinks his immense privilege is somehow profound.

        A lot of people are upset that you’re poo-pooing on their childhood celebrity nostalgia. We’re gonna ask you to poo poo on somebody else’s nostalgia.

        Maybe something less charged like a celebrity from the Apprentice or Oprah?

          My toxic trait is hating on sanctimonious celebrities who got famous before the internet era

          Really gets the gen x’s stirred up

        Yeah, rewatching the documentary that Patrick CC made on him does highlight that a bit more than I remembered.

        Though it does go on to say that none of that evidence held up in court upon examination. I’m not going to say that totally clears Carrey, it doesn’t. It does seem he crashed hard, possibly intentionally on others parts, and has willingly stepped out of the spotlight since. He seems to have learned something.
