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

[Anonymous]

America has gotten so “PC” in 2024 that a 38 year old comedian wouldn’t be able to date a high schooler!

Jerry Seinfeld is a creepy old man with a history of dating teenagers. He is disgusting.

The question was whether he is a creep, not whether it’s not illegal.

I just rewatched his speech honoring Julia LD at the Mark Twain award show and I think he’s so full of himself and obnoxious. The speech was over long and mostly about him. Yuck. I bet any money that he hit on her and she rejected him. Or he didn’t hit on her bc he prefers teenagers.

I love Jerry's work, but as a person, he seems like the type who was considered dorky or not a ladies man when young, so when he became famous he kind of went into wish fulfillment mode. Totally creepy.

Wasn't this a woody Allen movie? Being a creeper was OK if you were a New Yorker I guess

Is there a word for this kind of man?

If she is legally underage, then yes.

17 is over the age is consent, and apparently she turned 18 before the actually started dating. They dated for 5 years. It's not something I would do, but it does not appear to be abusive.

It's still creepy and not okay.

Her parents let her. From what I recall from the NY Post, he'd send a car to go pick her up at her parents UWS apartment.

So what.

There are also places where people sell their daughters to old rich men. It is still not okay.

This still happens on the UES and UWS. Lots of young women married to their dads’ business partners.

Source? Define lots.

He's full of it.

How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, and Big Bang Theory were massively popular sitcoms over the past decade.

What he's really doing is lamenting the fall of the mass market sitcom. The main broadcast stations have totally dumped sitcoms. CBS currently has only THREE sitcoms in its current spring lineup and 20+ crime/police/legal procedural shows. ABC may actually have more sitcoms this spring, which is really shocking.

For whatever reason, 22 minute sitcoms are not translating onto streaming platforms. There's lots of niche comedy series doing well, but a bit more avant garde sketch comedy (Eric Andre, Tim Anderson), stand-up comedy specials, or dark drama-comedies (White Lotus, Palm Royale, etc.) I don't consider any of this content to be overly "PC" or "woke." Anyone trying to convince me that Eric Andre is woke or too PC is insane lol

Reading between the lines:

He really did not like this final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but doesn't have the guts to say it to Larry David's face.

Woody Allen married his daughter. It was consensual, it's creepy.

Also allegedly groomed her for literally years while she was a pre-teen and teen. The power imbalance still exists and she’s basically consenting in the way that an abused woman remains in an abusive relationship. “Why doesn’t she just leave? —right??

I predict that when he dies, we will eventually read the tragedy of it in her tell-all that “everyone saw…everyone knew and yet no one helped me”…and she would be right.
The powerful men who perpetrate are very, very rarely held to account. Yes, she is of consenting age NOW. But what exactly is her agency? She was groomed to believe she loved him, and so she does. She has been led to believe that love is your mother’s long-term boyfriend (who you knew as a father figure) choosing you over your mom, and secretly waiting until you are 18 to “run away” with you. How….romantic? And how traumatic for the rest of the siblings!
The media and powerful elite prop up these men and pretend it’s normal and fine…and even a “love story” when it’s just a predator being predatory in plain sight. But it’s not a love story to me. It’s a story of power (and abuse of it), manipulation, and lack of accountability.
I pity her. But because her words say “I’m fine and in love” no one will help her escape and he knows it.
