John Mulaney’s Father’s Day post

Asshole.

I hope he gets run over.

Believe me, she'll get the last laugh.

Another one

I don't think expressing love for your kid and your girlfriend, mother of your kid, has anything to do with the ex.

I do think it's a bit of assholery that he hasn't married Olivia and his love for her is dependent on giving him a kid.

What a message! His first wife "didn't make him a dad" because he didn't want to be a dad.

Agree with R4. He'll mess this up.

The worst parents are the ones that said they never wanted kids and then turn around and say life is meaningless without them. I put the smarmy Anderson Cooper in this category. John is worse though because he didn't even intend to have this kid. Just an accident.

The kid is very cute.

R6, but that's why he's such an asshole. Don't diminish the expression of love for the kid and gf while also getting a shot in at your ex.

He’s an asshole in the Brad Pitt way. Jennifer Aniston struggled to conceive and when they split he mounted a campaign against her.

No, r10.

*I* mounted a campaign against her.

How long should he have to take his ex’s feelings into consideration? Three years? Ten? Twenty?

R12, why does he need to take a shot at her ever? He left her not the other way around. Is he mad at her or something?

Aww, that little bastard is adorable! I didn't think it would come out so cute with the mix of those two.

Attractive children are more lovable.

Mulaney can be quite funny, but I always found millennials insistence that Mulaney was a nice guy baffling. Was it because he mentioned having a bossy wife?

He always had smarmy rich boy sociopath vibes to him. It's a persona a lot of umc preppy men have on the east coast ( though he's from Chicago). Calm, tolerant and smiling on the surface but very passive aggressive bitchy.

The quote fits the real John. it's bitchy and mean. His former frau fans most be horrified they ever bought into thinking he was a nice guy.

To be fair, I don't think John ever claimed to be a nice guy. His fans just saw what they wanted. He was cute, dressed nicely and sometimes talked sweetly about his wife and bulldog, Petunia.

[quote]Kinda mean to the ex no?

That's his brand now, though. He runs to social media or People Magazine every other month to try to repair his image.

[quote]Mulaney can be quite funny, but I always found millennials insistence that Mulaney was a nice guy baffling. Was it because he mentioned having a bossy wife?

I know he was an online darling for quite some time, but there were also always a lot of people who were put off by his whole "my wife is a huge Jewish bitch... and I love her" thing. There was some massive hostility there, and fans picked up on it, which is why you see so many crazy fans telling lies about how his wife was a greedy Jew who didn't work and stole all his money. That didn't come out of nowhere.

And let's be honest, Olivia Munn is an enormous, self-serving cunt. It's not like he went from a bitch to a nice lady. If anything, he went from a regular bitch to a huge fucking bitch, because I don't recall his ex ever talking about how great it was to steal boyfriends or how much they hated special needs kids or anything like that.

R18 Oh yeah. I had forgotten about the weirdo fans insisting that his wife was somehow bankrupting him or some such nonsense. I am sure he tossed more money down the toilet to his addiction than anything else. Maybe it was easier to believe that she was a monster than to admit that their Nice Prince Charming in a dapper suit wasn't so nice after all.

The ex-wife just has to wait till he ditches Olivia and then starts taking shots at her.

It's like the snotty wiener kid class clown who didn't inherit his dad's HVAC business knocked up the used up town bicycle cheerleader at the 20th high school reunion and are now pretending to be a happy family.

It's very funny.

John got his stalker pregnant. He is Harry Windsor-Mountbatten level stupid and a huge douche.

Didn't Olivia make fun of Downs Syndrome kids on social media a few years back? Why hasn't she been cancelled.

The breakup will be apoplectic, she reeks of crazy.

I feel there is a subtext. I love you for making me a dad and I always will for that reason, but otherwise I don’t really love you. I doubt there is peace and harmony between them.

I admit I am probably reading waaaaay too much into it, but John is kind of a read between the lines guy, I gather.

Eh, mommies are demanding their social media due today from baby daddies.

My friends are posting on IG with their kids- clearly pics and text curated by their wives- and they haven't posted in years...

R22 Because the cancel types only go after people who have pre existing social vulnerabilities. Munn isn't socially vulnerable enough and doesn't seem easy to bully. Most of this moralistic tsk tsking is all a self righteous act. They don't really care as much about niceness as they all pretend or they would apply the rules evenly.

R23, could be. He's a writer. Maybe he figured out a way to take a shot at both women.

R23 I shared the same reading of it at R6. It's backhanded message.

Did John tweet anything loving about his own dad?

John has been pretty open in his stand up about his dad being cold and critical. So not really a surprise.

The Youtube algorithm thinks I'm the target group and so his shorts (as in: 20 sec clips) are constantly pushed into my face. He has a psychopath's smile and I could make out two distinct shticks so far; 1. I went to rehab and 2. Women are shit, ha, amirite?

Hmm - it’s an old picture of the kid, and she’s not in the picture. Are they together? There’s something else going on here.

What are you talking about, Helen Keller? Er, I mean moaning about. She is right there staring at the camera.

He’s such an asshole. He both posts his own Father’s Day post, not about his dad whose $$$ sent Johnny to Gtown and gave him a huge cushion to fall back on if his comedy career tanked, but he also insulted his poor ex.

I can’t believe he’s still with Olivia. I honestly didn’t think that relationship would last the pregnancy.

Ha ha I legit wasn’t processing her face. Anyway, not a recent photo.

In the next photo, he snorted coke off that baby

[quote] I can’t believe he’s still with Olivia. I honestly didn’t think that relationship would last the pregnancy.

Why is that hard to believe? He’s probably a deeply repressed gay man and she’s the beard that ate Hollywood. It’s a good arrangement.

[quote]why does he need to take a shot at her ever? He left her not the other way around. Is he mad at her or something?

Well I don’t agree he’s taking a dig at her. He’s making a nice father’s day post about his partner and baby. If it’s upsetting to his ex-wife, that’s a shame but again… how long is he supposed to not talk about being a dad because it might hurt her feelings? (Or because over-invested John Mulaney haters are offended on her behalf.)

Did he post anything for Olivia on Mother’s Day? That’s a bigger tell as to the status of their relationship than a post celebrating himself.

Olivia hasn’t been “cancelled” because not enough people give a shit about her to bother. Having John’s baby was the biggest thing she’s ever done publicity-wise and some rags still mixed her up with Olivia Wilde.

Oh ouch. lol.

Being cunty won’t quash those gay rumors John

I think it’s sweet.

If he wanted to drive the ex wife crazy, he should have named the child Petinia.

R5 - Sooooo hairy. 🤢

One of the most regrettable things about the Mulaney munn brouhaha was being introduced to the word parasocial. Yeah sometimes people do get overly emotional about celebs drama. But all of the entertainment journalists writing smug monologues about how Mulaney is not like, your bestie, so stop being so parasocial couldn't seem to grasp that celebrity gossip has always been a thing. The only thing more annoying than the John is my surrogate husband fans were the people who seemed to think that discussing the little drama at all should be verboten.

So does he still work? Now that The Flash is over, is he unemployed?

It was Cannes Film Festival, several years ago, in the poolside bar at the Hôtel Martinez. I was with my dear friend Ypir and her beautiful son. Chloë Sevigny, skinny, in a sarong on a wooden chaise lounge. Suddenly a commotion, drinks were thrown, Parker Posey was present, words were hissed. Ypir was appalled and cancelled her rare red carpet appearance, schedule for that evening for the AMFAR gala at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

oops wasted here. wrong thread.
