Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about a (generally well-liked) person that ended up being totally justified? If so, what happened? (lemmy.world)

Well no I don’t

As the other person said, he's a pedophile, and that's... putting it nicely. The dude was a nightmare that abused his fame and status to abuse children all over the world.

There's a documentary on ... I think curiosity stream and probably some other platforms that's worth a watch if you're into true crime. Totally crazy

What tipped your mom off?

I just remember her saying he seemed different from how she expected... I remember her saying he seemed kind of ... either rude or just off and specifically remember she was surprised he didn't complement the big banner the kids painted for him.

It's not like she knew from that he was a pedophile or anything, it's just in retrospect... "Dang mom you were sniffing something out about his character"

Damn, was hoping there was an easy way to tell

[-] gr0nr@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

He's a pedophile.

[-] Schattenspringer@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Well, he likes to abuse people, especially children.

You might know him as Subway's former pedophile spokesman. Kinda surprised none of the other replies mentioned Subway. Like the sandwich shop, if you're too young to know the reference. He lost a bunch of weight, supposedly by eating subway sandwiches (South Park had another take but didn't predict what was really going on), so subway hired him for commercials and a tour. They later regretted this.
