SensitiveBeef on Netflix
I was going to watch it, but then I read the male leads OWN WORDS from a podcast where he describes raping a masseuse. He says now “it wasn’t real” and “he was just pushing the line on being shocking” or whatever other lame reason. There was never a criminal complaint - I can’t help but feel this is potentially an immigrant woman who wouldn’t have filed a complaint and would not have heard about a random podcast. But I don’t think I can watch it now.
ETA he’s not the lead (Steven Yeun) but he’s a secondary character and the show has used a lot of his art.
Please note this is quite graphic https://www.salon.com/2023/04/13/beef-controversy-david-choe/
That was way worse than I was expecting and what I was expecting was bad enough. That poor woman. I hope she sues him into oblivion now that he's publicly admitted it. Sick and depraved.
The one silver lining to this story is that he was dumb enough to brag about this on a podcast. So the victim already has a confession
This is actually a podcast released in 2014!! I am a bit shocked he can get hired after admitting this.
I'm not :(
Yeah. The only shocking thing is if he actually faces any consequences at all
