Remember when 38-year-old Jerry Seinfeld dated a 17-year-old high schooler?

It was Jerry Lee Lewis who married a 13-year-old (and she was his cousin).

Different from Jerry Lewis the comedian?

Yes. Jerry Lee Lewis was a musician, popular in the 1950s.

I do - went to GW with her! Seinfeld is creepy and took a looooong time to mature.


He really IS creepy! There's something very dark/off-putting about him, even outside of the whole Shoshanna thing.

She was actually 18 when they started dating. He met her for the first time in Central Park in early May of 1993 and her birthday is May 29th, 1975. He didn't ask her age or know how old she was that first encounter but they exchanged info and met up again. She graduated from high school that year. Not sure when they actually started dating or sleeping together but given she turned 18 so soon after they met, his story that they didn't date until she was 18 makes sense.

Yep. I used to follow his wife but she made a hard turn to radicalism so I stopped.

Yes


+1

I just saw the movie and the whole thing was creepy.

Her parents condoned it too. As long as he was the one that picked her up. They let her live with him as long as he put her in Catholic school, and she graduated.

He said she understood him. They barely chatted in the movie. Understood what?

The whole relationship was disturbing.

lol, imagine believing that nonsense about meeting her in a park. You sound like damage control.

LOL yup

IIRC, Shoshana's family approved of the relationship and facilitated it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if her parents arranged an introduction in an effort to try to marry-her-off to Seinfeld.

To be fair, Jerry Lee Lewis did get cancelled for his actions which were, even at the time, recognized as beyond the pale.

GTFOH!! You people are such hypocrites, lol.


Hey, are you one of those parents who would have totally let your kid have sleepovers at Michael Jackson’s?


I'd be terrified for my daughter. So much potential for abuse and power imbalance.

She wasn’t just some girl. She looked like she was bio-engineered to overwhelm the circuitry of any male over the age of 15.

Agreed. He was popular in the 50s and washed up by the 60s, in large part because of the marriage.

Thank God things are changing.


She wasn’t forced to date him. He was also loaded and helped her start her “design” career. Women need to stop acting like they have no agency.

Grooming a teenager when you’re a middle aged man is beyond disgusting. You think he’d let HIS daughters “date” creepy old men twice their age?
