Jason Bateman 'not a nice guy,' 'bully'

[quote] and throw garbage at me

I don't understand. Too vague. Did he pick up those big dark green bags and toss them? Or was it the occasional apple core?

A "has-been" and an occasional garbage being thrown at you doesn't seem like a lot, I did way worse to others in response to my own bullying growing up. Also, he was a literal CHILD.

I can totally see both Batemans being absolute brats and mean in the 80s.

I think Jason became a better person after not working a lot in his 20s and 30s. He's had a real resurgence the past 20 years. But he had over 15 years of almost nothing.

He should apologize - as it did seem like awful behavior.

Count yourself lucky, Patrick. You could've been hit with the ShitBra!

I'd never apologise for what I did as a kid, fuck that. The brain is still developing, hence the age of consent, drinking age, different penal procedures etc. Patrick sounds like he needs attention.

Not a shock.

Even Jason himself talked about blowing up at Jessica Walter during "Arrested Development." Between her dealing with him and Jeffrey Tambor, it's a miracle she made it through. RIP Jessica.

Jason has said he has had "temper" issues in the past.

He is his character in The Gift. I can totally see that.

And you sound like a Cluster B piece of shit.

No one will miss you when you’re gone.

Ricky Schroeder and Valerie Harper had issues with him as well.

Someone who posted here a while back knew Michael J fox during Family Ties and said Justine was a bitch who used to call Michael a faggot,

R5 "The brain is still developing" and yet isn't it strange how a lot of kids don't act like bullies and assholes.

What does this have to do with Justine? She wasn't the one who threw garbage at Patrick Labyorteaux.

A lot of bullies end up being felons and/or serial killers.

Jason Bateman is a FAG in real life

I never liked this guy. Never have understood his appeal, or why he was able to make such a career comeback and star in movies. Never made any sense.

R5 sounds like a psycho.

To have zero regret for knowingly hurting someone for sport no matter the age is the definition of antisocial personality disorder.

You should be isolated from civilized society and decent people, R5. You offer nothing but evil to this world.

R9 That ugly piece of trash had no room to insult anyone else.

[quote] Ricky Schroeder and Valerie Harper had issues with him as well.

Schroeder the nutball? Ok. Lol. Not his fault, child actor, etc.

Can you quote Valerie Harper? I respect her.

The Bateman’s are garbage people who look like platypuses.

Jason Bateman has always been "a bit" of an asshole. His costars joke, or maybe half-joke, about it. He dominates that stupid podcast of his, and dresses like a prick at public events, and insults people needlessly over minor slights. He says it's his dry British (from his mother) humor, but he's also just a prick.

But Ryan Reynolds claims Bateman is known for being protective of young actors in Hollywood, having been one himself, and always goes out of his way to make sure child actors and inexperienced types feel safe and seen on the set.

[quote] What does this have to do with Justine? She wasn't the one who threw garbage at Patrick Labyorteaux.

She throws garbage at everyone when she shows her meth-ridden face.

Never forget.

Privileged, lying, piece of trash.

Is Jason still futilely pining over Jennifer Aniston while pretending to love Paul Anka’s daughter?

Pussy douchebag.

R23 Amanda named his kid "Maple." He will never truly love her again.

Because when it comes to abusive assholes, there’s no more qualified expert than Ryan Reynolds.

Bateman also blamed Amanda for that time he shat his pants in the dressing room at Colbert. He said it was because she picked a tight suit for him, and the tight waist pressed into his guts and made him gassy. Then he gambled-and-lost right before the show and had to throw his beshitted underpants into a trash can, towel off, and do the interview commando. He said the dressing room didn't even have a bathroom.

I have always heard this about Jason Bateman, quite honestly!

[quote] Because when it comes to abusive assholes, there’s no more qualified expert than Ryan Reynolds.

He married one so he should know.

[quote]Can you quote Valerie Harper? I respect her.

I can't quote, but I remember when the show was first on the air and the gossip was that they weren't getting along. Valerie getting fired and the lawsuit against the show swept all that gossip under the rug.

Jason did send a touching public message to Valerie when she was diagnosed with cancer, though. I'm sure a lot of that was water under the bridge by the time she passed.

Your personality is pretty much fully formed by age 7.

R5 is scary.

Thanks r29. I only asked because I remembered something like you said.

Isn’t his wife buddies with Aniston now and they get cosmetic procedures together? The Freudian implications are pathetic.

He is very good at playing evil.

Wow. I thought that watching him in The Gift. A bully in real life. He reminds me of that nut Jax on The Valley.

[quote] Ricky Schroeder and Valerie Harper had issues with him as well.

When Adam Rich was active on social media, he criticized Ricky Schroeder for his MAGA nonsense and his public tantrums outside Costco over mask mandates during COVID, saying Schroeder hadn’t changed much since they were kids.

Patrick Labyorteaux played a jock/bully in the movie Heathers.

[quote] What does this have to do with Justine? She wasn't the one who threw garbage at Patrick Labyorteaux.

Justine was the garbage he threw at Patrick Labyorteaux.

It must've been quite contentious on the set of Little House with all those bratty showbiz kids and their stage parents.

[quote] Patrick Labyorteaux played a jock/bully in the movie Heathers.

Isn’t that called acting?

[quote] saying Schroeder hadn’t changed much since they were kids.

Fuck I hated Schroeder when he was that obnoxious kid on Silver Spoons. Hated the father as well. Watched two or three episodes and it was all about how his DAD could stay home and play while real life dads and moms had to go out and work.

BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW HIS DAD LIKE I KNOW MINE!

R35 Apparently Jason Bateman did evolve and grew into a better person as he grew older. Ricky Schroeder unfortunately regressed and became a worse person as he grew older. It does happen to people.

Years ago we had a poster here who claimed that he had a one night stand with Bateman in the early 90s.

Will, Jason and Shawn talk about their shitting habits.

And worst of all he’s woke. Oh and he aged HORRIBLY!

This guy sounds like a pussy.

He was in Lucy’s Mame. Jason was on to something.

[quote]Someone who posted here a while back knew Michael J fox during Family Ties and said Justine was a bitch who used to call Michael a faggot,

That was me. A friend used to deliver coke to MJF and do it with him at night because he couldn't go out. Anyway, MJF took him to the Family Ties set and Justine glowered at them and mouthed (but didn't say) "Fag-GOT, fag-GOT."

r47 did your friend get intimate with MJF?

r48 - he said they made out but not much more.

They met because my friend was delivering scripts and stuff for Dick Clark Productions. Apparently MJF asked him if he knew if he could score some coke and my friend did (he wasn't a dealer but a big cokehead back in the day).

Jennifer Aniston seems to have nothing but nice things to say about him...

[quote] "Fag-GOT, fag-GOT."

How do you mouth fag-got?

[quote] A friend used to deliver coke to MJF and do it with him at night because he couldn't go out.

R47 Why couldn't he go out?

Because the full moon would turn him into a werewolf, Rose!

This supports the cocaine causes Parkinsons theory on the Bruce Willis thread.

R53 Excuse me, I was just asking a reasonable question. The friend had to deliver coke to him at night because he couldn't go out? Why wouldn't he be free to go out? Where was he going to buy coke if he could go out? At the coke store? It doesn't exactly make sense.

I think he couldn't go out because at the time he was filming Back to the Future at nights.

Hence the need for cocaine.

Bateman is a dry drunk - nothing meaner. He can be an utter cunt to the little people. He’s also a nice guy a lot of the time. We’re all contradicting our character daily.

Hope he’s offloaded that fucking Tesla.

R43 just proves our point. He asks a weird set of questions, and then tears into them for having perfectly normal answers. Will says he's going to take a bath in the hotel that night, and Jason just has to wade in and tell him how disgusting that is. No one fuckin' asked you, Bateman!

Richard Lewis had Parkinson’s, too.
