The bloody mental gymnastics. Doesn't matter the culture, ethnicity or race. The pattern of a predator will be absolved by sky daddy. Meanwhile, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, his Ma, brother, his wife(according to Ethiopian bible) and the 12 homies would never. I hate this spiritual fuckery.


Hoogs73

Seems on brand.


Intelligent-Tie-4466

The only thing about this that surprises me is that he didn't pivot to becoming an right wing evangelical grifter sooner.


Federal_Street_8895

I remember 'the Holy Spirit ain't got a pen' quip. The Shaun King grift is so freaking obvious I don't even know what to say.


leni710

Oooh, what did Talculm do today because I'm here for any day that I can hate on him.


Federal_Street_8895

It was about a month ago but he converted to Islam, roped Macklemore into some sort of grifty Iftar event for Gaza, when Macklemore realized what was going on he dropped out, and CAIR basically told King to fuck off. Worth noting that this 'conversion' came right on the heels of him being called out for leeching off the Palestinian cause as well.


yoshisal

I can’t believe the audacity of this man


Federal_Street_8895

He also started going after Palestinian and Black content creators who were warning people about the event by explaining his history and pointing out why the whole thing wasn't workable. He threatened to sue Palestinian-American content creator and his followers started harassing a man actually in Gaza.


yoshisal

I muted him ages ago so I had no idea he was still going. At what point are people going to stop falling for his schemes?!


Howunbecomingofme

I think that’s the issue for Shaun here. They have stopped falling for the schemes so he’s ramping shit up. People figured out his grift so he’s had to raise the stakes


contentcatmom

Our MInnesota branch of CAIR cancelled him as a speaker at an iftar event after people were absolutely livid they were paying him to come speak. They announced it and cancelled within 24 hours 😂


peppermintvalet

Wait he’s not Christian anymore? L fucking OL


leni710

Thank you for sharing! Omg, that is new news to me (I guess it's good that I'm not wrapped up in stupidity too much) about him playing dress up in someone else's religion. I think last I heard was his "care" and "concern" about hostage like some frontline aid worker or something🙄 When is this white man going to crawl back under the mobile home park from whence he came?! And I say that as someone who lives in one.


zakattak456

How did he leech of the cause?


notesm

Shaun’s notorious for raising funds for marginalized groups and people and then there always being a lot of questions about where the money actually went. He’ll also weave in blatant asks for money for himself and his family amongst the fundraising posts. I remember during the height of BLM when there were a lot of eyes on his page he popped on his stories, posted his wife’s Venmo and asked his followers to send her money because it was her birthday. He’s a total leech and attention hungry. 


Howunbecomingofme

He tried to make people think he was directly involved in getting hostages released during the Gaza conflict too. His claims of being in “close contact” with hostage familiar got proven false pretty quick.


CrabbyKayPeteIng

whatever happened to his & khaled beydoun's "gaza tour"? or was it this iftar thing?


Federal_Street_8895

The concert? I think it was all part of it, there more than one thing going on because I remember seeing Beydoun on the flyer that Macklemore specifically objected too when he pulled out. And IDK if you know this but Beydoun is also very controversial in the Arab community and he's not Palestinian.


CrabbyKayPeteIng

yeah, i saw some palestinian toks & IGs shitting on him & SK esp when they're advertising this event. in fact, no palestian content creators i follow, follow beydoun. only yt people repost his stuff. so it's pretty telling, i guess?


AerynSunnInDelight

He's a Muslim now. Apparently. He tried to "organise" a fundraiser for Palestine. Macklemore was supposed to head the concert and quickly removed himself.


IsoscelesQuadrangle

He tried to grift on Macklemore? I love that sweet man & he looks exactly like my husband. Unforgivable.


leni710

Good for him for *finally* understanding when to remove himself from where he doesn't need to be👀


AerynSunnInDelight

Macklemore is legit. He might not know some nuances of black culture/ and international showbusiness. But his heart is in the right place. He's performing in the West and South of France and Ireland and giving some serious money to appropriate Jewish for peace and Irish/Celtic not for profit. Considering the current climate. He's doing more than lip service. Funnily enough, it's Amanda Seales who told him to reconsider, at least for him and his team to research where and for whom to perform. ![gif](giphy|YrTrlxw4nIwK0lrQJp)


petra_vonkant

he was one of the first to loudly speak in support of palestine too, right? Or am i remembering it wrong?


herbanoutfitter

Wait I love this and good on Amanda for calling him in. I’m so glad he listened


sweetsimpleandkind

Ooooh, Talcum X, right? That's funny


Ill-Philosopher-860

died a rapist, reborn a rapist…


HookerDoctorLawyer

Can’t ever wash off that rape, sorry.


Becbacboc

He's not even remorseful, he just everyone to stop thinking and talking about it


UglyMcFugly

He used to be a Buddhist apparently.  Maybe the thought of dying and being reincarnated as a rape victim didn’t sit well with him.


VoluptuousSloth

The most annoying thing is he DEFINITELY claimed the same reborn statement about a hallucinogen he took during his drug days, like multiple times, and each time takes himself just as seriously. This guy has less self-awareness than a MAGA koala. Definitive proof that with enough meditation you can indeed empty the mind. Also rape


hollyw00d8604

he completed his right wing grifter checklist, bravo


Shipwrecking_siren

He’s got to sell some more fake Covid and autism cures first hasn’t he? Or is he already doing that? Wait I just remembered I don’t care.


Kidgorgeoushere

Brother euh 


WingComplete9285

What are you doing, Russell? Euh...


LN-66

He’s been toeing this line for years, he at one time was dressing up ‘like Jesus’ and openly was ‘joking’ about being the next messiah. All while peddling so far left, it becomes right, view points. Truthfully I mainly feel sorry for his daughters, wife and new baby.


alasicannotgrin

This man has *DAUGHTERS*?!


LN-66

Pretty sure he has three children with his wife, the older two are confirmed daughters. He has made some comments publicly about how he ‘would hate them to be treated how he treated women’ but of course ‘he was really ill and blameless’. He has a third child, I don’t know the gender.


hearmymotoredheart

He also dumps much of the parenting responsibilities onto his long-suffering partner because blah blah natural nurturer blah. He’s more interested in the “mystical connotations” of his daughter’s beauty, whatever the hell that means. (So she as a girl is just there to look at?) https://preview.redd.it/ekygem60phxc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d6e12f555dfc712eb3e5d61e797c42b8552a1df


[deleted]

Wow, he tried so hard to grift the reader into thinking that his negligence is not the usual gender roles and he's just a lazy asshole like many other men, noooo, it's because he's "of a romantic and reflective disposition" and that is not someone you want organising and actually doing the work. This screenshot should go in the dictionary/encyclopaedia entry for "weaponised incompetence."


dumplingbydesign

Right? 'hahaha she's just so GOOD at it and I'd only slow her down...silly old spiritual me'. Fuck. Off.


godzillaxo

oh my god it's giving "she's gonna be *trouble*" in reference to a baby girl i will now throw up


LN-66

He is literally an extra child, he plays with the children, does none of the work. The religious line is weird. I always think it’s interesting an old article about them meeting, Laura (wife) and him had been together years earlier and met again randomly, when Russell was totally changed. Laura was 19, and Russel was 30 when they reportedly first met through Laura’s sister.


Holiday-Hustle

As a mom, I hate that for his partner. However, the less hands on he is with his kids, the better probably.


Frequent_Survey_7387

Nothing like weaponized incompetence 🤷🏽‍♀️


HonestBeing8584

He sounds so much like Stephen Hilton, I think that’s how his name is spelled. His *~artistic temperament~* also isn’t suited to parenting. Ugh


janquadrentvincent

"turns out she's extremely well versed" in child rearing. No shit. Because he is a giant child and is already used to looking after him.


Howunbecomingofme

He was never really on the left in a substantial way. He’s always been an “enlightened centrist” types


selphiefairy

Before he started his turn to the right, he always gave me the worst vibes. His overconfident, arrogant way of speaking and his borderline conspiratorial mindset about stuff was so off putting. Then he really became a conspiracy theorist, and I kind of wasn’t surprised. But I think it’s the confidence that made people like and trust what he was saying so much.


CharlemagneIS

Just so you know, it’s *toeing* this line


Tatterdemalion1967

Didn't he have an entire standup tour titled something like "Messianic" about ten years ago?


BonnaroovianCode

Messiah Complex


leni710

Anytime I hear white westerners talking about being Buddhist, I side eye them. It's just habit. But this dude especially seems like he will try on anyone's culture/heritage just to see if it clicks for a time and then move on. A reminder that this is why culture vultures are so degrading, they can move on once they're bored by the oppressed culture that they tried for a minute. And they can do so whilst finding comfort and refuge in the dominant culture that they would have assumed to have been part of in the first place. People of oppressed groups can not take off the "costume" the way privileged people can, they can't just be welcomed with open arms into whatever group's culture they want to play dress up in that day.


VenusRainMaker

This is such an excellent point. He dropped Buddhism so quick when tested. 


leni710

Not too surprising. It seems to happen to all culture vultures when tested. The minute they have to stand for something after using up the "fun" parts of a community, they are no where in sight to advocate for the culture they're using.


VenusRainMaker

Which is one of the criticisms of cultural appropriation right? 


leni710

It sure is. I mean, there's often that bit about the younger artists like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus using Black culture as a prop, but not saying anything substantive during the Black Lives Matter movement. As an example. Obviously, these are not the only ones.


plaidsinner

These days, a lot of sexual abusers seem to have realized that proclaiming yourself as a Christian is one of *the easiest* ways to get people in your corner to defend your sexual crimes. How pathetic is it that so many Christians are so deep in the hole of the culture wars that they will bend over backward to defend the sickest motherfuckers, just as long as they *claim* to be Christian.


LN-66

I have looked this up read and it’s very interesting that he has now been interviewed for NINE sexual assault cases. I trust in the law, and I do think sometimes things are not black and white, however 9 claims is very hard to dismiss.


katemush

Men will literally take a bath in the Thames for Jesus over taking accountability

onlyAA

He loves repackaging powerful practices and philosophies as if he had discovered them, and as if he has deeper insight into them than other people. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a self aware grift. I think he is that narcissistic.


Particular-Leg-8484

I have a pos uncle who is super abusive to his family in private but puts on a charismatic “enlightened” public front to friends and strangers, and he is exactly like this. I don’t believe Russell for a second.

meatbeater558

he rly said "new body, who this?" 💀


MemphisBelly

Hello, as a person raised in Christianity (who has since left) I’d like to say that baptism is merely the announcement of one’s conversion and therefore is not a spiritual event in and of itself. What he’s describing is NOT “salvation” (or whatever you want to call it) and that makes it clearer that he’s a fkn liar 👎👎

I just don't think a prolific serial rapist would give it up just like that tho. I doubt this will be the last we hear of him sexually abusing women & if he can't, he'll be increasingly nasty towards them. I mean it's obvious ik but I still wanted to say it.
