Of course Elmo is annoying as all hell anyway. Sesame Street was much better before it became the Elmo Show.

On second thought...

DON'T tickle me, Elmo.  8-P

Wouldn't surprise me, he is a creep.  ;D

I think Jim Henson just hit the rev limiter spinning in his grave.  :-\\

I've always liked Kevin Clash. I hope it's its an immature ex lashing out (& lying) out of anger...


I said I hope!!!

Apparently the Voice of Elmo is an enigma.

According to a news report, he is a gay man with a daughter and an ex-wife.  :o

Immature ex!  The kid was 16!  I saw a docu on Kevin Clash and thought he was great, but this is a game changer.

True.  I miss the days of Mr. Hooper too. By the time Elmo became popular, I stopped watching that show long before that.

He was 23 at the time the accusations came out. (According to the article)
I'm just saying we don't know when the relationship/incident began.

If Kevin dated the guy when he was an adult and they had a bad breakup the guy could've fabricated the incident

If Kevin actually initiated any kind of sexual contact with the guy at 16 then he's wrong.

Right now it's he said/he said. I'll wait for the proof before I rush to judgement.

If it was a 16 year old girl do you think people would be a bit slower to brandish the pedophile label? I'm not trying to defend his actions because it's still wrong, but I wouldn't say being attracted to a 16 year old is exactly pedophilia. I'm 22 and I admit a lot of 16 year old girls still look good to me, even though I wouldn't date them because they are still immature.

I hear you, but the dude is 52. Heck I admit to coming from a family that has a long tradition of cradle-robbers, but even *I* don't go cruising the high schools.  8-P

Oh is he THAT old? Never mind, lmao.

I reiterate.  If the dude was 16 it was wrong.
The dude is currently 23.
Kevin says says they were in a relationship (I don't think he gave the duration of said relationship)
If the relationship started when the kid was 18, 19 or 20 that's legal
It sounds like it might've been a bad break up.
If that's the case I can imagine the kid making false accusations to hurt his ex, ie Kevin.

If it turns out the kid was 16 - whether it was a relationship or a manipulation seduction. It was wrong. 


I'm waiting til there's more evidence. Far as I can tell no charges have been filed. Yet.

The Accuser in the Elmo Sex Scandal Has Recanted

The Accuser in the Elmo Sex Scandal Has Recanted His Statements; Elmo Is a Free Man
!  ::)

I dunno, the accusations back 30 years.  As for a 16-year-old and a 23-year-old, I'd need to see the specifics before I decide whether I should be outraged.  I recognize 18 as the legal age of consent, but you've got plenty of 23-year-olds as mature as 16-year-olds and vice versa.  Other than legally, 18 is not a, ahem, hard and fast rule, IMO. 

As for Elmo, he sucks.
::)


Well Elmo is 52 and the young man is 23.  So that means when the 'kid' was 18 years old, Elmo was 47.

A 47-year-old man partying with an 18 year old. I bet he really looked forward to the 18th birthday.  8-P

Oh...ewwww...I totally misread the article.  I thought it said the Elmo guy was fooling around with the kid when the Elmo guy was 23 and the kid was 16.  We're talking about a man in his forties, yeah, that's totally creepy.
8-P 8-P 8-P

Elmo wanted to be ticked in the pickle!  ;D

According to a news report, he is a gay man with a daughter and an ex-wife.  :o


Hate to burst your bubble, LB, but there are lots of gay men out there with ex-wives and children.

The kid was 16 and Elmo was 45.  Sexual contact or not, it is wrong.

No way!!!  :D




I know, right? :D

Even if there's no sexual contact, I'm sure they showed appreciation towards each other.  8-P

Elmo probably looked forward to the kid turning 18 like some people waited likewise for the Olsen Twins to turn 18, like it was the opening of the Apocalypse.

Tulips on your organ.

I read an article that Kevin Clash's accuser robbed a bank prior to this incident!

I remember there was even a website back then that had a timer counting down to the day they turned 18!

News reports out today the The Voice of Elmo is no longer with Sesame Street.

Appears that ANOTHER person has stepped forward alleging paedophilia.  8-P

I tend to be wary of other people.  I admire the first and feel for all, but I also can see some bandwagoners.  This person has gone to a lawyer about getting 5million.

:(

I miss Captain Kangaroo.  The Captain would never pull any of this crap!

Now a third accuser has emerged.

Now a third accuser has emerged.

http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/tvguide/article/Former-Elmo-Puppeteer-Kevin-Clash-Faces-Third-4071229.php


"When we first met I was 16 and there was no intercourse; however lots of heavy kissing and he showed me what it felt like to get on your knees and obey your man," one excerpt read.

The reading even included the disturbing detail: "Mr. Tickler is what I will call him and the game we played was father and son."

It's terrible if it's true, and it's terrible if they're making it up!
:o

The first guy recanted. I'm inclined to bieve accusers 2 & 3 were touched by $ not Kevin Clash

Now a third accuser has emerged.

Fourth fingers Elmo.

My niece loved Elmo when she was little.  She had all the Elmo videos, records, toys, clothes, sheets, and accessories.  I hope this does not promote adolescent cynicism for her because there's no cynicism in my family!

So that means Elmo was gay.

Maybe Elmo had some guy friends on Sesame Street.

If you went around with a guy's hand up your ass all day, you'd talk funny too!

fixed that for you  :)

so who do you think will take over?  ???

They should keep Elmo, and just get another guy to do his voice? I like Elmo, but I'm creeped out by the guy who is a pedophile.  ::)
