- Burt Ward in his book and in interviews claims that ABC tried to Chemically Castrate him!
It was for sure a wild time on set of the Batman TV Series from 1966, but this is really Freaky!
Even Adam West couldn't believe what they were doing to Burt.
Cool Quotes
I love that "medical castration" came before "give Robin pants."
I was shouting PANTS the entire time. Madness.
That's hollyweird for ya.
Well it was the Catholics pushing for a solution, and up until the 20th century they would take orphan boys and make them into castrati to sing in choirs, so it's not surprising.
Well it would be pretty hard to flip around and perform karate kicks in stiff pants.
@@jaycorbin5361 they could be shorts
people in the 60s: "those outfits are inappropriate!"
Batman in the 90s: "Behold! Nipples!"
yeah.. and then David Bowie in Labrynth... and the mirror ball in his pants
They had to be trendy (lame/

I love how they thought to chemically castrate someone but did not even consider having him just wear pants.
Robin can't wear pants Bruce wouldn't have it!!

It's Legion.
@@bouutiquems3578 even better
The flyer they showed that had the rating system said “Legion of Decency” which is extremely funny
As a Christian, I feel like they’re mocking us
It's strange they went with chemical castration before trying to add pants to the wardrobe.
First option in sadistic heads
yeah....that would of been a LOT easier!!! Quick fix!!!!
Because this never happened if he said this he was just trolling people
@@magiccheeseball ?
@@ender691 know way they would give him piils to shrink his balls 😂 if he said that he was obviously trolling no that that is true
He really suffered for that show. Insultingly underpaid, treated like worse than dirt, didn't care if he was injured - seriously or minor, and now castrated. I really hate Hollywood.
Sounds like my job
It’s what’s his choice tho
@@djyua9157 no it wasn't.
Looks like you hate a lot of things and people.
He was one hell of a great athlete.
Gotta say, I'm very glad I watched this to the end. What they put him through is NUTS!
Ba dum tss
Hahahaha good one
As someone who was paid quite well to play Robin in a theme park for years, this is truly sad.
Hell, half the time I wore my old baseball catcher’s cup to protect myself from the sheer number of kids who, when taking photos, would instinctively throw their head back to say something to me or Batman and unintentionally skull-bash me in the junk.
Never got in trouble for playing the part in front of thousands of people with an oversized plastic bulge, and yet Burt over here…
Poor guy.
To be fair, I was also wearing a more modern full-bodied Robin suit (sans muscle-suit, that part was real, hence the paycheck), but still…
There are better solutions, speedos and tights aside.
They told him to take ball shrinking pills, instead of changing his uniform to have baggyer long pants. Man, priorities.
I suppose they thought the costume had to match the comic book.
That would have looked stupid. But my solution was from the start what they figured out in the end, just not to make any close shots. Not film the crotch area. Boom, problem solved.
Idiocy.

@@SoramimiKeiki it already looks stupid. Long pants couldn’t be worse

The real problem was that group of people taking their personal problems out on the world. There was nothing wrong with the show.
@@gblargg I can understand them asking for modesty, but in this case, their request was a bit ridiculous. I mean it was a kids superhero show.. Kids werent looking at their bulge... smh..
@@JonHop1 Those poor adults were fixated on it, though. Who will think of the troubled adults?
@@gblargg Well, I think they were more just fixated on ANY tight or revealing clothing at that time. You gotta remember, this was the mid 60's. While I do agree, you gotta pick and choose your battles, and this was a poor choice. I am all for modesty, but I think they had good intentions, just directed in the wrong place. Yes, some adults are stuck looking at things through an adult lens sadly.
I’ve never seen so many zoom-ins and close ups on the man’s bludgeoned
That's absolutely horrific, I'm glad Adam was immediately on his side too, if Adam had been pressuring him to take the pills this might have had a different ending. Wow
"The Catholic League of Decency" actually sounds like a group of villains from a comic book.
Ikr
even worse, theyre villians irl 😱
seedless watermelons
Ha ha ha 😆 definitely dose 😆
But they were.
Damn, dude was 19 and already a father. Had no idea about that.
I'm glad no permanent damage was done. Wish he hadn't even taken one pill, but I can understand being under all that pressure at such a young age. At least Adam had his back once he knew about that bullshit.
Exactly: From what I recall hearing about them, Adam was very much like a big brother to Burt and looked out for him.
It was likely just testosterone pills, those cause the testicles to shrink and they do no lasting damage.
Yes its surprising that he was a married father at 19. But in those days, teen births were a scandal. The only options were to give up the baby for adoption, or have early marriage. Mr. Ward, did the honorable thing, as it was called in those days, and got married. I apologize if the pregnancy and marriage were planned, but I still give him credit for trying to be a family man at the top of his celebrity game. Many other 19-year-olds would have just used the fame to party and "play the field".
@@megakevin49 in over 40 and still playing the field!
@@megakevin49 He actually did go on to play the field, so to speak. He and Adam West were promoting the show across the country. They stayed at many hotels, and banged a number of women. One of the women Burt slept with was married and hid that from him. While he was shacked up with a different woman some time later, the husband of the previous woman actually tracked him down and chased him out of the hotel. It's in the documentary this channel put together. Check it out It's pretty good, about half an hour.
Adam advised Burt to check for wedding rings or signs of MISSING wedding rings in the future.
Older Robin looks alot like Penguin. Live long enough and you can become the villian
Lol,
"It all sort of fizzled out when they didn't bow down to them"
You would think this lesson would have been remembered by corporations today.
I am flabbergasted. In the early 1900's, the "dance belt" for male ballet dancers came into common use and were readily available. They were made for the exact purpose of giving that "G.I.Joe" doll look. They were also designed to let those male dancers comfortably do their highly athletic work. Didn't anyone at ABC know anything about that? Not even the costumers? Did no one even research, or perhaps wonder how other professional men in tights dealt with hiding the sausage? What a bunch of idiots. Poor Burt.
You would think the stage pros would have some experience with dance productions
Didn't Lloyd Bridges wear one of those on the set of Sea Hunt? He wore some pretty skimpy looking swim trunks in many of the episodes, and yet somehow his package is nowhere to be seen. And that was back in the 50s!
This never happened. Burt Ward made it up. Adam West has never corroborated any of his stories about the show.
A gaffe? Whatever it’s called?
@@clseairsppt a gaf is for tucking, dance belts are more along the lines of very compressing underwear.
This is ridiculous! I watched this show when I was a kid. There was no time I was ever focused on the boy wonder’s crouch!
Crouch? I think you mean crotch.
I typed a U when it should have been a t. Thank you for the correction. I hope I still got my point across.
Yeah but Catholics
@@alexkelly8131 ... any uber conservative religious group. Look what's happening even now.
@@Laura-it2zb what's happening now ?
Really like how you tell the story in a real personable way.
Keep em coming these are great!
Each "doctor" involved with the prescription should have lost their license to practice and every studio exec involved in this malpractice should have been taken to court. This is absolutely immoral.
You spelled hung wrong
@@jolanderphilip you mean hanged. A picture is hung on a wall. A person is hanged at the gallows.
@@SineN0mine3 " you will be hung by the neck until dead"

...Not 'hanged'
I feel stuff like this might be common in Hollywood,
These same doctors got stars like Judy Garland addicted to speed to lose weight.
If I were him I wouldn't have taken the pills, but then told everyone I did. Then one day I'd show up on the set with fake boobs and I'd be like "Huh? What's everyone looking at?"
OMG 🤣
He and Adam West should have walked into the bigwigs offices in full costume, with the boobs under his costume, but not appearing to have noticed it yet. And with a coat on or something.
And told them that he'd been taking it for a week but nothing had happened.
And then take off the coat, revealing the big boobs under his Robin suit.
And then when Adam and the execs pointed it out, he should have looked down and did a big double take and yelled, "Holy BAT BOOBS, Batman!!"
Should done that and had it filmed too, lol. That would've been great in a DVD extra. 😂
😆😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought about faking taking the pills. Kudos on the fake boob part. That didn't occur to me. Don't think any pill can shrink the ones I've already got. 😳😂
And when my daughters were young, they loved the film Labyrinth. The little girls never noticed, but the sixteen-year -old and I were "woof!"
I love how you say "Leave a comment. I LOVE those!" So intense and darkly humorous! thumbs up!
🤣
Burt should've said 'Stop looking at my junk'.... that's what I would do.
Pity the Catholics didnt put as much effort into stopping their priests from molesting kids.
Lol but then it would have drawn more interest to it! That's life 😆
Exactly. You can say that about almost any guy's crotch if you look hard enough. Who within the organization was looking and who complained? Jeez
those Catholics must have caught their daughters watching him while rubbing themselves.
@Ian Walton Catholics and boys crotches go hand in hand, or should I say balls in hand
I'm amazed that you managed to tell a 6 minute story about a mans junk without directly naming what you're talking about, well done.
🤣
And the fact that the character Burt was playing is named 'Dick'
He said testicles, did we even watch the same video?
not sure about that. i quit 1 min 40 seconds in. too boring to stretch it for 6 mins.
The catholic decency league was watching this video like a hawk - ready to take him down.
imagine being castrated and years later you see batman and robin wearing pants instead of underwear
Thank you for holding strong, Burt!
Honestly watched this show as a kid, never thought about the outfits and LOOKING at them like that. Watched this show as an adult, same. Never thought about it at all until this vid.
I guess you really can make something out of nothing.
I'd just love to go back in time with a copy of Labyrinth. Imagine the pure, white hot, pearl-clutching outrage you'd witness over THAT crotch bulge. It would be legendary.
Crazy. Forced medical treatment to keep your job. Thank God nothing like that could happen today.
🙄
Religion LOOOVES to make something out of nothing.
Thing is those particular religious groups are obsessed with banning any social or biological things related to sex, and ironically they’re perverted, so of course they cannot stop looking at that area of Robin during the show. They had to get it removed under the guise of well it must be an issue for everyone else! Lol!
@@jonathangardner4475 heh
I'm wondering if the chemicals had a temporary affect that eventually wore off. Wikipedia says his first marriage only lasted from 1965 to 1967, basically for the duration of the Batman series. He had another failed marriage from 1967-1969, also during the time of the Batman series. He didn't have another child until 1991, almost 25 years later. Maybe those pills did affect his marriages and fertility.
This is so 😥 sad
Children?
@@sadiehawkins5908 Yes, Mr. Ward has two daughters.
Maybe
@@constancedenchy9801 Dam sick too
I was in elementary school when Batman premiered. Shortly after school began, a letter was sent home from the principal advising parents not to allow their children to watch this show due to violence and adult content. When we were able to sneak into the den and flip the channel real quick, we felt like we were doing something so wrong! Oh my God! We watched Batman! 😆
That is wild
A lesson to be learned here about not backing down to threats and demands from authorities. Adam West was great for backing him up there.
Love how this group is proving how decent they are by combing through _Batman and Robin_ looking for Burt's family jewels.
Reminds me of modern SJWs.

I was at work at the time and a patient came in and told me as if I already knew about it when I didn't and I had to take a break from work 😥

Family Guy also changed the name of the high school to Adem West High as a tribute to Adam West 💕
He never actually did that. Not only that, the only person that said that religious people complained about the show was Burt Ward.

Crazy. Glad Burt took a stand, and the network stopped the nonsense. I don't remember paying any attention to the actors' private parts, and I watched every episode.
Leave crotch watching to an obscure, defunct "catholic legion", whatever tf that was.
If somebody was looking at their crotches and had a problem with them they're the one with the problem
@@magiccheeseball Yes.
Exactly
Hemorrhaging hemorrhoids, Batman!
I grew up watching this show. The ‘group’ are the sick ones because they were obviously obsessed with that area of the actors bodies. And assumed everyone else was too!! This colourful and fun version of Batman is certainly preferable to the dark versions we see these days.
Well it was the Catholics pushing for a solution, and up until the 20th century they would take orphan boys and make them into castrati to sing in choirs, so it's not surprising.
Seriously. They were strangely obsessed about an area of the body they shouldn't be. It's simply anatomy. Just watch the show and enjoy it.
“The Group” didn’t force him to take the pills. And I didn’t know that the Midwest and “Bible Belt” aka the South were teeming with Catholics. Seems more like Methodists and Baptists. The people most concerned with the crotch of the 19yo were the producers and directors who insisted on the costume. Good old Hollywood.
I couldn’t agree more. I grew up with the show as a girl, and it never crossed my mind to focus on that area of their bodies. I was focused on their outfit designs, story and action. I was like they’re dudes, if they have a bulge that’s just natural, nothing to focus on. These religious people are perverted.
Agreed until you said it’s preferable to modern Batman.
Great vlog ! I really enjoyed it thank you. Anyone else think that Burt and Michael J Fox were similar looking when young?
Great video man
That’s honestly insane! And he was only 19!! Imagine if it hurt him long term, or affected his swimmers either quantity or quality
"swimmers " ? What a funny expression. 😀

it wouldnt unlike women men make new swimmers constantly and regularly. Female babies while im moms womb already have all thier eggs ..amazing huh. Thats why older women risk having issues due to eggs r so old.. yet Clint Eastwoords can produce kids healthy in thier 80s... I think marajuanna can affect sperm?? Lol the more you know-------->

@@goofygrandlouis6296 that's quite a common one actually
I find it interesting that these decency-people were apparently hyper-focused on Robin's junk. I mean, in the fight scenes a person really needs to be zoned in on down-there to see anything they might be expecting to see. Meanwhile I find it also interesting they are perfectly fine with the ladies' form-fitting costumes. Bodies have curves. Bodies have bulges. That's how bodies are. That's how some people presume their god has created bodies to look. Sounds to me like the decency-people are just not wanting to confront their own hang-ups on looking at Robin's junk.
Yeah it's just a slippery slope. Anyway, have you seen Cuties on Netflix?

Cause it sounds like you do.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 then your issue is with the freemasonic owned ABC corporation or the Jewish producer, not the Catholic legion of decency.

I remember him talking about this on an early episode of Kevin Smith's "Fatman on Batman" podcast, just one of many wild things that happened to Burt Ward while filming.
This is insane! I met Burt Ward in the late 70's. He came to our small town and had a meet & greet. He was very nice and I still have the autographed picture he was giving out.
I met him at Denver Comic-con a while back! I got the same impression of him. He was incredibly kind, and I still have his autograph as well. :)
He stopped by my school when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, was so awesome.

I recall the CLoD would also forbid Catholics seeing movies which dealt lightly with divorce - or movies starring actors who had been divorced themselves. The word "pregnant" in the movie "The Moon is Blue" caused quite a stir.
this is a rather cool quote
Adam West must not have had much of a 'package', they never mentioned he needed to do the same. 😂
He had a Turkish Towel as backup 🤣
Burt Ward played Dick on the show not Adam West that played Bruce.
Not sure, but based on what Ward said about this MANY years ago, it's more that Ward was too big (at least his testicles).
He was an established actor already. He would have told them to pound sand.
They weren't gonna mess with him. He had a good agent. Burt had an agent who did less than nothing and more than evil.
Oh the only reason there wasn't long term damage is because he quit taking them right away. I can guarantee you if he kept taking them it would have done long term or permanent damage.
What kind of medicine was it? Just wondering if you know any basic facts about this...
@@ewamanda I honestly don't know what kind of medicine they use back in the day for that sort of thing.
@@ewamanda Estradiol would have been available in the 60’s. That’s the most common component of HRT (medical transition) for MtF trans people. However, seeing effects after only three days is hard to believe.
@@AmoyamoyamoyaUA-cam No you wouldn't see it in 3 days. It's a hormone. It would shrink his balls over a few months and believe it or not, they come back. Bodybuilders have them shrink and come back all the time. So he wouldn't even have become infertile after 6 months. There's bodybuilders that have been taking exogenous hormones for decade plus that have had kids. That's because your body will eventually balance itself out unless you completely kill the HPTA (part of the brain that communicates with testes) but then you can take estrogen blockers, for example, so your body thinks "I need estrogen" and in a male, estrogen is made from testosterone, so it turns them back on. Nevermind HCG (which we have now, not then). He would definitely have grown breasts however (gyno).
@@AmoyamoyamoyaUA-cam The video said he "felt something" down there, but it didn't say he actually saw them shrink. So, being only 3 days it was likely just a psychosomatic effect - but I'm glad he felt whatever he felt, since it caused him to take action.

Yeah! Same for me!
Me neither but now that they mention it he does look like a twink bottom. Perfect for those priests. I wonder if he had to be a bottom on the casting couch to get that role. If he'd castrate himself it sounds like he'd do anything - and anything related to S

Having made a Robin costume as a child, based on this one (as it's the very cheapest look to pull of the options), can state that there's something about the particular look of the boy wonder that feels more revealing than most underwear on the outside superhero costumes. Even if you wear flesh colored leggings. Bright green is very eye-catching.
Shit, you're right. I didn't even realize.

I can’t think of any oral medication, available at that time, which would have been capable of shrinking his testicles without either feminising him generally (gynecomastia wouldn’t have been an “acceptable” look either), or strongly masculinising him (which also would’ve broken the boyish sidekick image). Other than androgenic/oestrogenic steroids, any other candidates would have had profound negative health consequences (weight gain being one of the milder effects, which would also have led to an incompatible screen image).
These cowboy “doctors” could have been his complete undoing, both in and out of acting.
This is the very same thing I've been questioning. I've been very curious of what it was that they had offered him.

All these religious people who claim that man was made in God's image, and then scream in horror at any reminder of what a man's body has. If they find these details indecent and immoral, aren't they saying the same about God? Isn't that blasphemy? Silly people.
Indeed. Stupid literal fundamentalists. Given that God is neither male nor female, let alone _Why does God even “need”a human body?,_ how are they deciding what she/he looks like?
They missed the _entire_ point about Man being made in the spiritual image of God - having divine compassion!

What he and countless other show business people have gone through or asked to go through is not a shock to me at all. What is more surprising, is how many people are not aware that this goes on, has gone on and will forever go on all the time. It is nothing new. Woman have been under tremendous image scrutiny as long if not longer than any man. And there are always people offended about something and trying to curb the artistic creation of those putting things together. How tall, how short, how much hair, what color hair. The list is endless. Actors are scrutinized to death before they ever even get a chance to audition. Then wardrobe is asked to create a look. And then make up. All based on a writers vision, then re-done by a directors vision and so on and so on. It is incredibly layered with complexity long before an outside eye even gets a chance to complain. Is it any wonder the world twisted as badly as it is? Cannot please all the people all the time. Sure as hell funked no matter what you do, might as well do it the way you want and let the rest be damned.

The legion of decency would have had a heart attack if they saw anything from this time frame. Booty shorts made them throw up a fuss, imagine Wonder Woman (who's showing her collarbones!!), or Mystique (who has no clothes to speak of!!!!)
Don't let my wife find out about these pills.
Michael Jackson was chemically castrated by his father because he wanted to keep Michaels voice from changing 😔😔
That’s a weird one because his normal voice was quite deep when he didn’t talk softly
@@skad2485 I know, but that's what happened.
The doctor that killed him wrote a book and Conrad spoke about how MJ told him about it and that he felt like a neutered dog. So it obviously has lasting effects. But I always had a feeling he was A-sexual (no sex drive) which is why I didn't trust the allegations at the time in 1993. I was only 8 yrs old but I felt in my heart that he just doesn't have a sex drive for whatever reason. So sad !!
@@skad2485 I've looked up some interviews with Michael (from different decades) and his voice wasn't deep at all... He almost sounded feminine.
wait, didn't he have a daughter?
@@CristalianaIvor he had 3 kids. 2 boys and a girl. You can tell their dad is his dermatologist sperm. The youngest kind of looks like MJ but I don't think his sperm was good.
"Here, take this pill we give child molesters so their junk goes away. You'll be alllllllll right. Trust me, I'm a doctor." AWWWWWWWWW HELL NO!!!!!! YOU BETTER CALL SAUL!
What a wild story. Those studio execs were nuts!
By many accounts it seems poor Burt was treated like crap by the studio execs. He never even receive a raise in his salary from the show
Didn't the show's wardrobe department ever hear of dance belts? Those things work like a charm for male ballet dancers.
Have you never noticed male ballet dancers bulges? Dance belts do the opposite. They squash all your junk into a jockstrap like pouch and enhance what you naturally possess.
lol u serious?? Male ballet dancers have everything showing it's nasty!
@@lolahernandez6871 it's delish
Is this a joke? They’re waaaaay more revealing that Robins little outfit. I’m surprised the Catholic busybodies didn’t start harassing ballet companies lol.
Make ballet dancers are renown for big packages
He went through freaking hell with this show, but, it was all worth it and he made it into the historybooks of Batman.
He was just ahead of the curve.
hi i came from your Cool Classics channel. This was interesting. Just wondering, I couldn't find another video on Eartha Kitt on this channel, as you mentioned in the video on Cool Classics. Can you help?
I almost finished it up last night.
It will be on here maybe later tonight, if I get out of work early enough 😁👍
@@coolquotes1 thanks so much, no hurry 😊
“Never bow down to those who dare to take your happiness away, tis them who are unhappy.”
“There are those who will take that very freedom from us, many of you who freely give it!”
I am proud to hear people stand up to those who want control over them. They do so with no hate nor harm within their hearts. I am grateful.
Braveheart! ❤
This reminds me of going to see the ballet when I was little. As an adult you will notice that the male ballerinas very obviously have their anatomy showing. As a child I could care less, I was just amazed at how high they could jump and how strong they were. In the end it's just someone's body. Normalize being okay with bodies!!
I agree but am amazed by the number of people who want to enlarge their breasts, have hair transplants or bottom implants. Some even go to the extreme of having their legs elongated to increase their height. Seems like humanity is not content with the hand nature dealt it.
I think the catholics were just afraid grown men and women would be lusting over robin, also a grown man
The best way to deal with people who get offended at stupid shit is to just ignore them.
And they were just a few years away from A Clockwork Orange, hell the book was already out.
In Poland we have proverb "give him finger, and he'll take whole hand".
Some groups (usually motivated by emotions) can't be reasoned with and will never happy, so instead of letting them get over you one piece at the time you should flat out tell them to GTFO from the start.
We have something like "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile."
Exactly!
I like that expression
Poor guy. I'm happy he was ok. There has been this idea around for CENTURIES that we can't look like we have anything underneath our clothes - primarily women.. No panty lines, no nipples, no bra straps. wtf is this fascination with the idea that we don't have actual body parts. WTF.
Jealous people who gained too much power.
Remember it's the 11th commandment: thou shalt be ashamed of thine natural anatomy
@@juiceoverflow 😂
In the lower classes in Europe nudity was pretty common. Very casual. Also the hair was more scandalous to show than the breasts
Maybe because you shouldn't be showing it to the world? Difference between wanting you to look like you have no body parts and wanting you to dress normal
Yet another example of how bonkers Hollywood can get.
Adam West would stuff his trunks just to troll the legion of doom 😭
This is insane, however Burt’s dedication is outright amazing.
For all the de-masculinization with dresses, can’t imagine this happening today. I mean absolutely I’m sure people do, to be able to support their families, entertain countless & maintain their careers, but to have a company intentionally pressure this, I can’t see them getting away with. Asking someone to wear a dress isn’t comparable, as people can refuse, read if it’s in the script and the company can decide.
But doing something that impacts their life off screen like this is absolute madness. Absolutely respect Burt, it’s sad, but for how big of a hit this was, that lead to many jobs ( for others too) and went into other entertainment areas. Glad there was no permanent damage, chemical castration is brutal. In the UK many would commit suicide when the law forced this treatment on men guilty of prostitution / homosexuality, also many became sickly and ill.
It’s a relief to see things are improving and individuals have outlets or the power to end things like this.
The damn church f@ckin sh#t up as usual.
There's a shockingly believable rumor that Micheal Jackson was chem castrated when he was still prepubescent in the Jackson 5, and this confession makes it that much easier to believe, it's scary..
Oh dear. Your comment thread is shadow-banning anyone who replies to it. You probably won't even see this reply. EDIT: actually this one showed up in my Comment History, so it went through.
My original comment, which has been deleted by UA-cam bots, was about a social engineering program I was a part of for over ten years. You'll have to find me on another site and ask for more information there, if you're interested. I always use the same username/gamertag.
@@WisdomThumbs ngl seems like clickbait
@@deathrobloxian Sure, until you see that I haven't monetized anything on the internet and I don't even take art commissions anymore, so I'm not advertising myself. All I present myself as is a silly gamertag with insider knowledge on one social engineering program, because I spent over a decade embroiled in it until the reveal of "upper management" finally broke through to my stupid brain: "are we the baddies?"
EDIT: also, take note of the two missing replies in this chain. It says 5 replies, yet I can only see ours here. So unless that's specific to me for some reason, and you can see the others, it seems people really were shadow-banned from this thread. Again, I lost an entire reply explaining what I knew, and it didn't even appear in Comment History for me.
I hear stories like this and it again reaffirms what I already knew: not condoning bad behavior at all (the execs in this case), but people aren't any worse today than they were years ago, we just know more today about ALL of the dirt.
TRUTH!
If they thought that was too revealing….. I have need for them 🤣🤣🤣
Man I couldn't help but laugh while watching this haha
