Should AOL do another video of why Chase Finlay is not in the game anymore?
Yes they should
Lyra Hearst that’s a great idea. What is he doing now, btw?
absolutely!
@@mathildewesendonck7225 Leaving women alone, hopefully,
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This makes you think what turns someone into an absolute monster. So much talent ability and support. I guess too much comes easy and too much Privilege. I feel horrible for the young women that had to deal with the violations against them. Horrific.
Maybe he's a Kennedy!!
chf gbp good point or also who knows what goes on behind the scenes and what type of people they really are. No one will ever know.
Yeah, its easy practicing till your body is shattered and you get a compound fracture in your foot and then clawing yourself back to return to as world class dancer with a titanium screw in your foot. He sounds so spoiled and entitled.
There is an honest argument to be made that it is worth ruining some of the most exceptional, driven, hardworking people on the planet to make our institutions safe for women. Some amazing people are pigs. Doesn't stop them from being pigs. He got where he got because he was talented and backed it up with a lifetime of agonising work. He did not get there because of some magical conspiracy. He's is dead to the world because he was a pig to the women. You have had your pound of flesh. Lets not go after history.
Actually, this makes me wonder why someone with the screen name “46foryounger” would think they had any right to be saying they felt horrible for young people being violated.
Testosterone + privilege and constant ass kissing don't mix well.
Well this is awkward.
Integrity toward your fellow dancers matters.
And just think, the whole time he was secretly recording sexual videos of his girlfriend that he would hate-share with their coworkers. His parents must be so ashamed.
His parents probably defended him despite what he had done to those girls. I get the vibe from this video that they constantly kiss his behind and treat him like a king.
@@elizabethgiliberto8932 Of course the parents defended him. He's their son. They're obviously not going to take Alexandra's side.
Matthew Jay Evans
Doesn’t matter if my son did this to any woman, I would disown him.
𝒸𝒶𝓉 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇 it’s easy to say that now, but that’s like saying you will disown your mother, i don’t have children but from what i grasp your children are your life and forgiving them is always an easier choice than disowning them but idk what they did
@@sofifi03 Chase is 30, not 15. If I had an adult son who violated the intimate privacy of young women (the women involved were like 19-25) and referred to them as sluts and farm animals to be abused, I would absolutely *not* take his side. Your children might be your life, but they're still adults who exist in society and have very real consequences for how they treat people.
“I’m Chase Finlay, I ruined my entire career, I’m never gonna get hired again hahahahaha”
Rosie Posie how is that funny? Clearly, those responsible for his upbringing did not quite finish the job. Yes, he's an asshole and an adulr one at that, but he was also an exceptionally talented artist and to think this is funny in any way says more about your character than about his. Same goes for the small minds that clicked like. You must feel so powerful, good luck raising better sons, this kind of behaviour is ingrained in many cultures and it's f***ing despicable. But he got what he deserved. He will be shamed and shunned wherever he goes for the rest of his life and rightfully so. This isn't funny. At all.
itskey you are mixing things up. Chase Finlay wasn‘t in WSS, that was one of the other dudes involved in the scandal. Alex Waterbury called him out
Malo Fankhauser It really is quite funny. Someone who’s an asshole doesn’t deserve respect in my opinion. 🤷🏽♀️
@maseratic boychikthat is dishonest and childish. Trump does this a lot as well, those unsubstantiated, ludicrous claims to shut any rational perspective and fact-based argument down, even when I’m only trying to make them for fairness sake. A ballet career is a way of life and it requires s family or institution that help with the very high cost next to the hard training, before dancers get hired if they’re lucky. I won’t stand for denunciating everything Chase accomplished because he turned out to be a sexist jerk, that is not right.
But people debating like you are just like playing chess against a pidgeon: the bird will ignore the rules, knock everything over, shit on the board and then proudly strutting in a circle screeching about having won. It’s lazy and implies that every mistake should make everyone pay for the rest of their lifes. Look at what Trump got away with so far... in comparison these texts are almost laughable.
@@MFUA-cam683 The reason I think it's funny, is because people like him always get their way. Even when they do bad things. If this was 1980 or something, he would have gotten away with it.. plus he's a narcissist.
I feel bad for his mom, one of my three biggest fears of having kids is that they'll grow up to be pieces of shit, no matter what you do.
What are the other two?
I mean to be fair we don't know how well he was raised 🤷🏽♀️ he needs more than a few stern lectures now unfortunately
Teach them virtues not rules only
After reading the comments, I had to look up Chase Finlay to see what he'd done. Wow -- what a shock. NYCB always seemed to be a step above everyone else. And to think, there was a predator in ballet tights right there. His mom and dad must be SO proud (smh)
this vid did not age well lmfao
Very true. 😋
Have no illusions... he was a sexual predator even then...
it’s so sad, he had the world at his feet and he was talented and in his prime and he just... blew it. I feel bad for his parents, all the pride and dedication they put into him and they find out there son has done something so horrible
He humiliated himself. Who does stuff like this? Creepy guys.
It's hard for me to say because I am a Male Ballet Dancer. I'm no pro but I've been taking classes for a while and I have dated some of the girls. It happens. I had a few breakups! It happens.
@@Doriesep6622what happened?
Well, he’s out of the game now... permanently!
We don't know that yet. In fact we havent seen him in public in over a year. Maybe he's awaiting a trial?
@maseratic boychik That's what I was referring to, buddy. I've been watching news on the scandal like a hawk. Think I didn't know that already? Jeez dont act like a Cuomo..Yeah he probably wont be dancing with a major company again. No one wants a pervert like Chase.
@maseratic boychik Quit playing the Snowflake card, dumb@$$. Screw the MAGA people. They're all inbreds..Can we just agree Chase "I had sex with underage ballerinas and plied them with coke" Finley is a disgrace and wont be dancing with ANY ballet company again? How hard is it to be on the same level with that?
@maseratic boychik Good God bro. You need help, like mental health help. Talk to a psychiatrist or something. You've turned a discussion about a ballet dancer into an all out attack trying to look like the better dude, complete with non sensical accusations and unnecessary language. Really immature. You obviously can't maintain a normal conversation if you are using terms like "moron, cretin, micropeen, etc. Now I know why this country is so messed up.
It is sad that talented does not equal being a good person
Sergei Polunin
Hindsight is 20/20, but watching this, there are clues that not everything is OK in Chaseland. The father is completely scary in this respect: I'd hate to know how many fights Mom and Dad had over ballet lessons. Chase clearly goes out of his way to show ol' Pop what a regular guy he is. Golfing, talking football, quaffing vodka instead of (sissy) wine... he might as well wear a forehead tattoo "I AM AN ALPHA MALE!" And it's an act. You think he really enjoys smoking cigars? Look how he's holding it. Like a blunt. If he burns anything, it's trees.
Meanwhile, he spends his entire life knee-deep in young, beautiful, naive ballerinas who are around relatively few boys in general, much less straight boys. The crushes Chase must have inspired. Look at Lauren Lovett. She is /toast/.
Girls giving him the draws around every corner. He can have any one he wants. Any way he wants. Any time.
If this isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is.
BTW, No excuses. Just observing, here.
So sad. Such a waste. All of that thrown away with both hands... If only he hadn’t allowed himself to fall into the dark side of temptation. There are people who work themselves to the bone to have the opportunities that he’s had, who have integrity but will never reach that level of success. And he threw it all away. It takes years to build a career and reputation, and mere seconds to destroy it.
Well said.
Who is tempted by sending nude pictures? Like everyone has to walk around and fight that temptation.
This is so fantastic and supportive what his father is saying "watching you in ballet is like watching baseball game" I can't imagine anything better to say to your ballet sun...
That's awful. It's like saying to your lesbian daughter "watching your butch girlfriend is like watching a man". ThaT's not acceptance.The dad will always be embarrassed by his son's interest in ballet. He thinks it's a gay thing to do.
That’s just a back-handed compliment. Chase has always tried to make himself appear hyper-masculine to me, talking about beer, football, working out, and now we know he’s a predator. If he was so insecure about his profession then why do it? Clearly, he loved it but had a lot of hang ups.
L. R. What?
L. R. I don’t understand. What do you mean.
sad penguin maybe chase is gay and that’s why he was so derogatory towards women
He would've been really successful, considering the fact that he's talented, good looking and hard working but he decided to take sexually explicit pictures and videos of his then girlfriend and hate share it with his fellow male dancers, just a waste
Like why would you want your buddy's to see naked pictures of your girlfriend. Wouldn't you want to keep that to yourself?
Too bad his parents never taught him it’s important to treat other human beings as human beings.
And look where he is now. Unemployed.
When he was in the game sounds better haha
I mean, I could tie him up and abuse him like a farm animal, but that would be a waste of a perfectly good rope.
@@MzTeenUSA It is a reference to a message he wrote.
Now, that's just hard to watch.
He barely blinks when he talk btw... not saying anything just an observation
Oh dear! How things have changed. What an absolute waste.
Well, he did it to himself...
don't know how proud mommy is now...
but just from the glance into their perfect little white picket fence life I'm guessing they think their chasey poo "did nothing wrong!"
I wonder how his mother feels
Please break more metacarpels
Came here just for comments
He reminds me of Spencer Pratt for some reason...
I just find it so amazing and so heartwarming to see his parents be so supportive of his dancing. What a lovely family.
a nice lovely family who spawned a psychopath
I saw this before the shit hit the fan. I thought of them. And felt bad.
sallyjdawg Don't blame them. He's a grown man - he made his choices - as did Catazaro and Ramasar and the others named in the complaint.
Ugh, gross
Oops, Chase, you're out of the game now ... and no-one is every going to want to play with you again.
PSYCHO!
Big tragedy really. A couple of years ago when he posed for the photographer Terry Richardson you knew there was a problem. He was hanging out with the wrong people, it was only a question of time.
Per that analogy, Obama too is questionable? 👀, Cos he posed for Terry too, a lot of Hollywood men and women too
I so enjoy watching him dance. His strength and grace is amazing and impressive. Not to mention he's just adorable! :)
What happened? People can seem like good people but inside they are out to hurt others. Is the fact that he was raised so privileged and pampered something that worked against him? Was it nature or nurture? Whatever the answer, Chase Finley reminds us to beware: people are not what they seem to be when you first meet them. What is underneath the sparkling veneer?
Boy did he screw up !
You can tell Chase family is very well off! Their home is beautiful. His dad is a very successful architect. Impressive family all his siblings are very accomplished.
All except him...what a shocking shame!!
In light of recent events and revelations, could the NYCB please remove this video and all videos including Chase Finlay from the NYCB youtube and promotions, as in current context this is sick and offensive. Its continued presence is immensely disrespectful towards Ms Waterbury and others affected. The minimum appropriate action of removing this video would be greatly appreciated.
No.
Yes
American Dreamer wow, you managed to gather that much information about me from a few sentences. Well done! Now can we get back to the matter at hand rather than slinging insults? I find it rather unproductive.
Jane Smolira It's a line from 'Saturday Night Live' get over it. Your over reaction to this video is typical of a whining child, stamping their feet. So, the guy's a creep, I agree. But take down a video that is not offensive but informative of someone's career (now lost). Why not take down every offensive video on UA-cam? We would be left with those silly pet videos. lol
Quit white knighting. This is an informational video about a dancer. It has nothing to do with what happened recently.
You'll never dance in this town again.
This guy is disgusting, what he did cannot go unpunished.
I wonder how his parents are feeling about it all...they must be very disappointed.
They are completely humiliated I'm sure
I wonder where he is now...
Probably doing the same thing to another young impressionable girl.
His career crashed quickly...thank god ...bad behaviour
this series that otherwise is excellent needs to update re: Finlay and Ramasar - without this the whole series seems dishonest and sadly ruined for me
And Peter martins… what a creep
Ramasar was rehired, it was found he wasn't culpable.
Well i guess he doesnt stay in the game
Gross that this is still up.
oh the irony!
I love Chase Finlay, Zachary Catazaro, Mark Finlay, and Jeanne Finlay.
You still sure about the first two?
Please check on them again....I believe you are mistaken.
How stupid can a dancer be to jeopardize his career over such a disgusting behavior? What was he thinking? His mother must be mad with that mean girl who dares to sue her precious son!
Total arrogance and privilege. I wonder if his mother even believes the victims.
Spoiled brat.
Threw away his career by secretly videotaping sexual encounters with his girlfriend and sharing them with fellow male dancers.
why would you share naked pics of your partner and mock behind that persons back? very disrespectful behaviour, immature. does he continue
with this behaviour? i wonder what his mother thinks about it, does she protect his behaviour?
This video aged like milk.
Nice to see Chase parents are so supportive of him dancing 😀
His father will always be slightly embarrassed because he is a closeted gay that played the sporty "hetero" al his life and his son gives him away. Kidding.
But if he's caught with taping a female dancer who is his girlfriend- naked...
So what does he do now, since the whole world is appalled at his actions?
I wonder what makes men like this turn into abusive misogynists. His parents seem so lovely and he seems to have had a normal upbringing. I feel like it has something to do with the stereotype that dancing isn´t masculine, and so maybe showing power and superiority towards women was his way to assert himself as a "real" man. What a terrible waste of talent and artistry.
Maybe they overvalued him.
They should take his videos down
I guess when you have everything it goes in way over your head. What a waste of talent, he still have at least 10 years to go before retiring.
Chase is so gone....youngest unemployed, disgraced former principal dancer.....
Chase is awesome!
+JordanjamesX and hot
Ah, so this is the guy who shared intimate photos and videos of his girlfriend without her consent to multiple other dancers and who knows who else? Well, allegedly, but I believe her. What an absolutely disgusting person.
He quit before they fired him.
How sad it is to watch this, taking all into consideration
Aged like milk
can't get over 0:51
+Mia Rinaldi "Awesome" OH RIGHT
If the allegations made against him are true, he's a disgusting pig! He should not be allowed to be in any company again. EVER!!! Don't hire him as a guest 'star' or teacher. Protect your dancers!
@Deborah Sorry, just this week it was in our news (Europe).
company would think 5 times before hiring him, as he isn’t really marketable anymore. they will be worried about people not buying tickets..
Hey NYCB, please take down this video as it gives focus and attention to two known abusers and predators who have both been fired from the company. For people to keep seeing this video pop up on UA-cam means that your company doesn’t take the victims seriously, stop promoting predators in a positive light.
i think it is fine, kind of raising awareness that one with such cute face could be a swine inside.
Anyone watching just needs to scroll down. The juxtaposition of comments to this video is actually quite telling and worse for him in the end
What a perfect boy
well, now you know better.
Not anymore he isn't!
Mommy, can I do that? .... lulz.....
His parents obviously forgot to instill certain life-lessons, like the true measure of a man.
what a sweet boy-I wish him all the best!
did he ever get a contract ?
Not anymore!!
Gorgeous fluid dancer
Chase is soo cute and hes good at almost every sport
Don't be an airhead.
All that driving back and forth to nyc wasted
What is he doing now?
I love this guy. :)
Not if you were the girlfriend he secretly taped
@@fromthehaven94 her comment was 3 years ago, before the incident with his girlfriend happened
@@nikolaimaharaj2319 If you notice, many of the comments regarding this video are around the same time as mine. Notice a pattern?
Right now he staying at the jail
Talented and compelling men attract young girls and women - that doesn't mean they are good people. Look for character first - appearance and charm are highly misleading. This episode is a lesson for young women. Take care of yourself. Even marriage doesn't guarantee a happy ending. Tiler Peck and Robbie Fairchild.
Mr. Finlay had a long, long history of being hideous to the professional females around him, an ingrained, intensely misogynistic streak replete with all the foul language and text associated with kind of mindset. He completely destroyed himself, and his future. What he did was to his girlfriend was completely beyond the pale, and it destroyed his career. Good. Idiot. Probably works for daddy's company now. Apparently the director of the NYCB was right in there with him, he too, is now gone. There were also suspicions, not well publicized, that Finlay was doing drugs.
Ohhhh no no no no no. His parents must be horrified. SMH.
All of these "don't worry, not all ballet dancers are homos" videos are revolting. Why am I not surprised ballet companies are encouraging the productions?
Gold is a rich man’s gig. Chase’s family has money
He’s so gorgeous. What a shame
love him
The more I read...the more I can't stand this guy anymore. TOTALLY DISGUSTING.
I guess his father never taught him to respect women.
Such a waste...
Such a sweetheart and a very talented dancer! He inspires me :)
So many psycho comments on here.
He's so gorgeous :(
I love Chase
I'm in love
man he made a mistake
Mistake? He knew what he was doing. And he deserves everything he’s got and will get.
I'm not sure about that. In reading all of her charges it's starting to look like the case of a standard "money grab". She's charged pretty much everyone that she possibly can, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few females on her list before long.
We'll see...
Damn, If my significant other makes that kind of mistake, it's gonna be a mistake he regrets.
Lmaooooooooo well this didn’t age well🤣 good riddance
what a waste...
He’s a gorgeous dancer and I believe his side of the story.
I feel bad for his father. He must be shattered after he found out.
lol let’s not act like this wasn’t learned behavior.
Smokin cigars with dad ...and golfing....trying to impress the fact of his masculinity......Peter Pan here doesnt look like a a womanizer .......Comes off like a super wealthy rich kid. Bet his parents are more upset than he is .....they seem very "Ballet Status" oriiented!!
Man, this aged like milk.
Yuk!!! Bag of festering pus.
He is a jerk, what he did to the young female dancer shows that he is not artist material. He is NOT in the game and should not be
How can a man be so beautiful I don't understand
