Remember when Mark Wahlberg compared Janet Jackson to an ape on Howard Stern?

....

Mark Wahlberg has gotten away with everything. He brutalized that Korean man years ago, and he went on to a great career—so who cares at this point? If he experiences any backlash (ever), it doesn’t make any difference to him. Unless that Korean man has been paid and we don’t know.

Didn’t he star in the remake of Planet of the Valerie Jarretts?

The Roseanne stuff has got to stop now. Blocked. ^

Jeez relax r4. It’s a thread about celebrities making references about black people looking like apes, so I think Roseanne references are very apropos. 🦍

Wait: Mark Wahlerg said someone looked simian? Pot meet Kettle; Kettle, Pot.

Loath him.

Wahlburger could experience backlash.

He’s a Repug.

He’s a cunt

He and Helena Bonham Carter need to be banished immediately from Hollywood.

Wahlberg is one of the biggest trumpsters in Hollywood. By the way, didn't he commit an anti-gay hate crime in his young years?

Ironically Wahlberg himself looks like an ape.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Shame on him. Let him be punished by doing a full nude scene. No fakes.

We live in a climate today where this could have serious repercussions for him.

R12, you are too funny. XD

Well.....I mean....?

.....

They should cancel his tv show. Oh wait...

Fast forward to 26:41

He gets away with everything - including blinding a poor immigrant in one eye.

He’s gross.

He's a bigoted asshole. Blacks, asians, gays... Meanwhile posing as a rapper, and a mediocre actor. I'm sure his excuse (as is always the case) is that he's "found God" - apparently a devout Catholic now.

That's a ridiculous comparison Janet Jackson to an ape. Everyone knows that people actually pay money and turn out to go see apes.

DL tends to forgive people with hot asses. His needs a spanking, I'd say.

Who knows? Maybe, bringing this back up into the forefront, Marky Mark will get his just do, which a black ball in Hollywood.

Why isn’t this homophobic, racist bigot/former Gay Rentboy cancelled?

Is this some sort of weird slangy way of speaking?

This was a douchebag thing to say. Akin to when Jamie Pressley was on Stern and said that Howard looks like he's been "Slapped with yarmulke."

So basically Marky Mark gets a HOT pass? Roseanne = Fat & Ugly = Cancelled

The hair only.

No, thanks. He is about 15 years beyond his "sell by" date.

Aw she was kidding around. It can be hard to know what crosses the line with someone like Howard.

Has this become big again? The eye-gouging didn't matter b/c the victim was SE Asian. Maybe this is what does him in.

(sigh) If only he was on that plane on 9/11.

Maybe Janbot could put her obsessive skills trying to get Wahlberg cancelled. It would raise her in my estimation.

R37, that's a great idea. Too bad it will never happen as Janbot is on patrol 24/7 awaiting for the next Madonna thread to post how Janet was more popular than her.

I remember when this happened my local radio station talked about it. People called in to say they'd seen the commercial for the movie and actually thought it was Janet Jackson under the makeup.

R35, I doubt it’ll do Wahlberg in, since his major hits are dumb action movies and lowbrow comedies. It’s not like the audience for Mile 22 or Daddy’s Home 2 is made up of people who care about this stuff. The latter even co-stars Mel Gibson (talk about people who get canceled!) and still made a ton of money.
