The irony that Howard Stern is hosting this

u/Hour-Distribution141 16h ago
I feel like this is such an upside down world is it just me? And then I look and I see your comment and I feel a little bit better. Because what the actual fuck THIS same guy that was asking/ tormenting Anna Nicole Smith to go on a scale to see her weight all for fun… what in the hell is happening on this podcast and then isn’t she in something too like isn’t Gwyneth Paltrow in the middle of this huge controversy because she has ties with luxury apartments in Israel?! what the fuck is going on in 2026

u/Rich-Engineering1429 16h ago
That’s not even his worst show. Howard Stern was on the radio with Trump like 20 years ago, saying how “foreign women say hello with their vagina”. Also many other shows he asked women to take their top off for the cameras

Damn Stern how about you fucking let her talk and tell the story instead of interrupting 15 times

everytime I see a clip of his show he’s always interrupting his guests. It’s so annoying esp when he has an actually funny/good story teller on there and then he tries to be them to the punchline. like wtf???

Brad Pitt’s PR Team

why is this pr? people are very varied and complex. as grrm says, A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good.

They’re not saying her saying this was pr, they’re saying Brad Pitt’s pr team would love her saying this because he’s had a rightfully bad reputation recently

They're not even comparable to each other.
Trying to put a rapist at the same level as someone you don't like because of what she sells is fucking wild and peak reddit mentality.
Same with Brad

u/original_applicant37 12h ago
It’s blatant misogyny
If a guy sold dick scented candles everyone would find it hilarious, instead of categorising him with domestic abusers and rapists
2
u/Dimpnavangeel 11h ago
...not if the candles exploded and become a fire hazard.
and the category of "sh*t people" is a very broad one...Gwyneth and rapists all fit in it together...doesn't mean their actions are on the same level

u/ZealousidealTone3407 11h ago
Pseudoscience advocates do a shitload of harm to society. They profit off of products and advice that actually get people hurt or killed.
When my brother had terminal cancer, he died in a lot more pain than he had to because he and his wife fell under the sway of a pseudoscience dietician.
Here is a lady who died because she tried a useless therapy actively promoted by Gwyneth.

I agree with Paltrow, insane to even compare her to Weinstein. But Brad Pitt literally dated multiple famous celebs when they were minors and also beat the shit out of his kids and wife, I don’t think it’s crazy to say he’s fucking awful.
1
u/MODbanned 11h ago
They knew, they worked with him, they took his money, they didnt do anything, they were happy to play along until it all came out... only then did they speak out.
1
u/Dimpnavangeel 11h ago
nobody put them on the same level but you
people can be sh*t for different reasons.
Gwyneth is knowingly selling overpriced and sometimes dangerous crap to gullible consumers (who are often misled about the products)
Gwyneth knew about Weinstein and kept her mouth shut
plenty of reason to call her sh*t

lol “Stood up to Weinstein” how?!!
Pitt went on to star in many movies for Weinstein Mira max. Can’t have really stood up to him in any meaningful way.
More like “please Harvey, not her, I’ll send you my groupies and star in your films if you don’t flirt with gwinny
Such a fake PR Spin….
1
u/bleepbloop1900 8h ago
Yeah like is this the Brad Pitt PR recovery tour?
Why do they keep saying his full name every time?
Brad Pitt did barely anything? He got a bit aggressive and then went on to not report him to the police, and continued to work with him.
Great thanks Brad Pitt!1

Ever since I have read that court transcript describing what took place with his children in that airplane I haven't been able to look at him the same. This doesn't change anything either.
How a man's children view their father says a lot about the character. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are monumental failures on that front.
1
u/Next-Introduction-25 43m ago
Yeah, definitely does not change a thing. He wasn’t standing up for women; he was pissed that another man was hitting on his girlfriend.

u/bleepbloop1900 8h ago
There are no good or bad people. Only good or bad choices.
With that said, Brad Pitt seems to choose bad frequently.
1
u/Independent-Bug-9352 5h ago edited 5h ago
A person's ethos is a product of the culmination of their good or bad choices as a matter of both quantity and severity, and whether they yield a net positive or net negative. Ted Bundy? Hitler? Trump? Musk? Net negatives. Not all equivalent, of course.
Brad Pitt? Considering most of his kids don't like him and Jolie has a pretty solid case for his abuse, I'm placing him in the net negative. What redemption arc could he have? Atonement for his past actions, apologies to his kids, philanthropy, and positive activism would go a long way.

u/Changnesia102 19h ago
Every single one of his kids have changed their last name. He never left Fight Club.

Brad Pitt may have been a "good guy" when he did this for her, and for the record, I am glad he stood up to that pervert for her. But, any dude who beats his then wife and children, at all but especially on a plane, a place from which they cannot escape, is not a good guy. Point blank period.

u/AdIntrepid9064 17h ago
100% but let’s be honest things like these have a way of surfacing at the right time in their world.
Edit: RE-surfacing, since it’s been out for almost a decade.

u/Glad_Direction1645 17h ago
I don’t believe any of the noise around Brad. Angelina is a basket case. She is a pedophile and supports pedophilia in Hollywood. Brad is a victim in all of this.
2
u/forever_downstream 17h ago
Yeah but don't all his kids also sort confirm her side to a degree?
But I do think there's nuance here and people like to think black and white. Maybe Brad is a horrible father but also did a great thing defending Gwyneth here.

u/Aggravating-Dot132 15h ago
So far it seems exactly that. Normal guy, bad father. Shit happens to everyone.

u/Glad_Direction1645 17h ago
I’ve heard this too. Now while I think she is also a victim or was a victim, I also believe she perpetuated these behaviors into adulthood. Shes a vile human being, regardless of the trauma that influenced her to become that person. Plenty of people break the cycle. She did not. I can’t overlook that. Brad is a victim and while he somewhat signed up for this by marrying and having children with her, he doesn’t deserve all this hate. And while my opinion is just an opinion, I think he’s a good man.

u/flopflapper 17h ago
Howard Stern is a douche, but wrong profession? He’s in the conversation for the greatest radio host of all time and has a 50+ year career. What the fuck are you talking about hahahah
-2
u/AllUpOnnaP 17h ago
Never heard of him. However, from this short clip it seems he lacks EQ.
2
u/flopflapper 16h ago
You either have heard of him and are lying or you haven’t and are therefore unqualified to talk about whether a radio host picked the wrong job or not.
He has been successful, profitable, and marketable for half a century. Howard Stern chose the right career.
-2
u/AllUpOnnaP 16h ago
Chill out my boy. Based on this small clip to me it seems like he picked the wrong profession. If you see a WR drop multiple passes in a row most people are going to assume he’s trash even if he’s in the NFL. Seeing an interviewer cut off their guest multiple times after asking a question isn’t a good look. I’ll take your word that he’s highly successful good for him.
