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

I feel like that's everyone's grandparents, lol. I didn't put it together until much later.

She was part of the reason I had breast reduction in high school. I remember knowing he felt comfortable approaching her because of her cup size and I was tired of older creeps doing that with me. She was not a prepubescent looking teen.

How old are you? It got A LOT of attention then. A LOT.

Here's one round-up:

Remember when 39-year-old Jerry Seinfeld dated a 17-year old?

Of course Howard Stern was going to ask about it:
“So,” Stern said . . . “you sit in Central Park and have a candy bar on a string and pull it when the girls come?”

That gawker article was from 2015, not when this was happening.

That was back when white people were fertile. Now they can't figure out what bathroom to use and are dissapearing from the face of the earth. Suicide by sodomy.

He was made fun of for it hard by Letterman, Stern, etc. It clearly made him uncomfortable as that carries way more currency than the John Ashcroft types and schoolmarms tut-tutting.

Guys like Nicholson or Jagger might have slept with young prostitutes or groupies, but Seinfeld was a bit different in that he was seriously dating her, in a public way, as a traditional "steady girlfriend." For a guy who wrote clever, observational humor, he was remarkably clueless about how it ridiculous this made him look.

She broke up with him and he was the one who was heartbroken. That also came up during a Letterman interview at the time.

Yes, it made him look ridiculous, but it is much more honorable than sleeping with prostitutes or using groupies. Amazing that you have that as the more normal course of action.

He looks ridiculous and silly but this is nothing that he should have lost his show over.

No that was back when a parent would pay somebody to marry their 35 yo unmarried daughter.

No she was underage and it was disgusting and predatory. Today he would be rightfully fired and persona non grata

She was underage when he first met her. She turned 18 about a month later and they claim that's when they started dating. I'm not sure I believe it, but that's what they said and no one can prove otherwise. If what they are saying is true, why should he be fired over it? You may not like it, but it's perfectly legal to date an 18 year old.

So she was underage when they met? Right.

I believe she was 17, which is legal in NY.
