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

[Anonymous]

Yes, that was creepy. And inappropriate.

I would not vote for Seinfeld if he were running for Senate. Especially if he was hypocritical enough to hold himself out as an especially principled, values-based religious candidate after that.

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

Here's one round-up:

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?”

And then he married a woman who ditched her new husband for the richer Jerry Seinfeld. He's creepy.

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

The Gawker article is a "round-up" of press from the 1990s: the March 1994 People article "Game of Love," the Conan O'Brien joke in 1996, the 1999 post-breakup profile in the New York Observer, etc.

I don't know how old some of you are, but I am old enough to remember this. It was a bit of a controversy, even then.

I think Seinfeld is one of those guys who was a loser in high school and college, and after finding success later in life, he was filling that gap in his earlier life. I'm not saying it isn't pathetic, but I don't think he is necessarily a pedo.

Yes. It would have been MUCH better. She still would have been too young, but there's a big difference between 17 and 22.

People should follow the ancient (your age)/2 + 7 = (youngest partner) rule. For Seinfeld, he should have stuck with late 20s, and up.

Seinfeld got a sufficient amount of shit for this in the 90s. He was acknowledged as doing something creepy but not illegal.

I am not going to vote for Jerry. Now people should not vote for Moore or Trump.

I'd vote for Seinfeld before either Moore or Trump though.

So much shit he was TV's no. 1 act of the decade and paying for her to transfer to UCLA so he could bang her more conveniently while she was a young college kid.

My grandmother was 35 and my grandfather 18 when they met. Isn't that creepy?
