MEDIA LOSER: Adam Carolla Celebrities and journalists alike have been lashing out at Adam Carolla for claiming this week that only “old or sick” people die from Covid-19. It’s unclear if the conservative comedian and podcaster was joking with his statement, but many Hollywood stars aren’t having it. “Turns out the people dying from covid are old or sick or both,” Carolla tweeted. “How many of you pussy’s got played ? and who’s going to get played the next time.” The host of the The Adam Carolla Show podcast later wrote, “If you are getting your Covid info from CNN you should start thinking about HEARD immunity.” When confronted by one follower who asked, “So you’re good with the old and weak being wiped out?” Carolla joked, “I love the elderly. No child should ever have to bury a parent.” Carolla, who previously hosted The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel and Loveline with Dr. Drew, earned the wrath of Star Trek actor George Takei, who shot back, “Coronakarma is real, Adam. And you just tempted it to grab you by your pussy ass.” Patricia Arquette pointed out, “Nations all over the earth with real doctors and scientists are taking it seriously and it ain’t to own the libs.” Meanwhile, Don Cheadle simply responded, “wow.” Former West Wing star Bradley Whitford was particularly outraged, writing, “180,000 dead. I know several of them. Not all were old or sick. This disease is ravaging our most vulnerable communities. People are risking their lives to care for them. My sister is a retired nurse. You’re a comedian using a pandemic to get attention for your stupid career.” Not a good look, or good day, for Carolla. 6.5.0 |
