Neil Patrick Harris under fire for saying that he had a crush on an underaged year Joe Jonas

The internet is forever.

So did Andy Cohen.

So was it Joe or Nick of the Jonai?

If Neil was 42, then Joe would have been 25 at the time. There’s a 17 year age difference between them.

What a nothing burger.

R4 he specifically says he was attracted to him before he turned 18.

Exactly.

have people lost their 'freakin minds? JHC, it's almost impossible to say anything without someone setting their hair on fire.

A crush is harmless. It's when you start to act on a crush ( ie Catholic priests who couldn't help themselves) that it becomes problematic.

This is quite tame compared to the websites that counted down the years, months, and even minutes until Natalie Portman and the Olsen twins turned 18.

So the fuck what? I had a crush on Doogie when I was thirtysomething. It's not like I did anything about it.

The Thought Police is coming to get you!

Can we cancel NPH ? Is that still a 'thing' to do ?

For Gen Z, anything more than a 2 year age gap is sus.

What is "an underaged year"?

[quote] What is "an underaged year"?

Does not compute.

So fucking what???

Isn’t that the purpose of teen idols?

What’s the moral/ethical difference between a ten year old lusting over him, or a 90 year old doing the same?

These artists/bands, are SPECIFICALLY manufactured to take all comers, so I’m not understanding why people are upset that this precise goal, was achieved.

Can we stop being idiots for 10 seconds?

Look, there are real assholes out there who have done real asshole things, who absolutely deserve heat. This isn’t one of those assholes or situations.

NPH isn’t any different, by any measurable statistic, than girls who haven’t even menstruated, yet obsess over the equivalent of some Tiger Beat idol.

Who’s the asshole who put this out there, & who is after NPH, & WHY?

I hope it’s not his own team. This isn’t a good example of ‘all publicity is good publicity’.

[quote] So fucking what??? Isn’t that the purpose of teen idols?

For other teens, not 42 year old men.

If when I was 16 or 17 had the chance to have sex with my 30-something Hollywood crush, hell of course I'd do it.

As long as you make them an honest person by marrying them.

I think this is an embarrassing thing to admit, but I wouldn't call it unethical or predatory.

Well, maga is now admitting of course most men would fuck teen girls if they were “willing” and by that they mean go to an island with adult men.

[Quote]Who’s the asshole who put this out there, & who is after NPH, & WHY?

Well, I simply wouldn't know.

I've always wanted Nick Jonas.

Deport him!

"... he was attracted to him before he turned 18"

You don't just become sexual (or sexually attractive) on your 18th birthday.

OP, the Jonas in your link is NICK Jonas, not Joe Jonas.

Duh.

Nick is the only hot one. Joe is gay one. And the oldest brother is the homely one (no idea what his name is).

Please read the links at both OP and R1. Duh.

[quote]Neil Patrick Harris Faces Online Backlash Over Resurfaced ‘Inappropriate’ Comments About Nick Jonas - IMDb

We need therapy for this bad thing about Daddy.

The Jonas Brothers canceled their Wrigley Field show and moved it to a much smaller venue waaaaaaaaaaaaaay outside of town.

Who the F thought they could sell out Wrigley?

R32, they did this with six stadium concerts. Moved to smaller venues. Very few can fill a stadium these days.

My god. People have lost their minds.

If this was JLo who said this, do you think she'd suffer the same consequences as NPH ? I'm going to guess a huge NO. She'd attract a huge crowd of other 55 year old women admitting the same thing.

In other Jonas news, ABC's summer series "Claim to Fame" has not returned to their schedule, though it hasn't been officially canceled by the network, either. The series premiered in the summer of 2022, and hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas. It was a reality 'game' which was actually entertaining for the summer.

The premise was easy enough : A number of contestants, each of whom has a famous relative, move into a secluded house together and are tasked with deducing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relationship a secret. The final contestant remaining wins $100,000.

I rarely get into 'reality' shows on TV except for 'Big Brother' (and tuned into 'Survivor' this past season after skipping it since 2002), but this one was very enjoyable.

Having watched this clip, this is what I get:

Then-42-year-old NPH (now 52), said that he thought then-22-year-old Nick Jonas (now 32), was really good looking before he was 19 or 20.

[quote] He was really good-looking before it was kind of allowed to think he was good-looking,” Neil explained during the show’s “hot seat” challenge. “Which was a bit of a problem, you kind of had to wait ’til he turned to be, y’know… 19, 20, you’re like: ‘What is happening?’”

The problem is he didn't say how old Nick was when he thought this. Nick was around 14 when the Bros hit it big. But NPH could have meant when Nick was of age, which is 16-18 in most places in the US.

It's not something he probably should have said aloud, but it's also nothing he said recently, so if nobody noticed it then, whey should they make a big deal about it now? That's what I don't like about social media. Having to account for every little thing you ever said or did? Nobody should have to do that. Particularly when it's blown up out of proportion by all the attention, as in this case. Leave people alone, for chrissakes.

Taylor Lautner's half-naked body was being used to bring in adults, not just teens, when he was 15 and 16. Many older women were openly lusting after him. These were completely normal women who would never touch a little boy.

NPH is being crucified for being honest about the fact that Joe Jonas was attractive before he was 18. Worse, he said it a long time ago and it's being dug up.

I am so sick of Gen Z outrage over this age issue. A bunch of fucking prudes. I also think with a good portion of them it's probably performative. If you could get inside their heads, you'd see a lot of fucked up thoughts.

I don't understand why Gen Z are so obsessed over the age difference issue--especially in cases where both parties are of age! Even when at least one party is well into their 20s...or even 30s. What is that really all about, anyway?

Lautner was 16 when they began filming, not 15.

There's nothing wrong in recognizing that someone under 18 is "really good looking". If he'd said "I wanted to pound that ass" it would be different.

If only...

OK, he had turned 16 by the time of filming, but he was cast when still 15. That's really not the point as 16 in the US is still considered "eww" for Gen Z.

[quote]For Gen Z, anything more than a 2 year age gap is sus.

It's the woke progressives who consider a gap of more than 5 years to be problematic, even if both people are grown adults.

Also, the wokes infantilize young adults and view 18-25 year olds as "kids."

Nick is 32 years old - he's been 18 or older for 14 years. I don't think NPH knew how old Nick was - I sincerely doubt he was lusting after him when he was 17. It was a throw away comment about how much younger Nick is than NPH.

He was only guessing because NPH is 20 years older.

The only thing I can say about this is that he has bad taste in men.

5'6" tall and a butterface - I don't care if he worked out to get his muscles on his tiny frame. You would walk right past and literally look down on Nick Jonas if you met him in real life.

I am 63 and grew up in the 60s and 70s. Many adults made comments about how good looking certain teens were. Girls and boys. The observation could be a celebration of youthful looks and vitality.

If I were Nick, I'd pound this ass...

Having see NPH completely naked on stage for ten minutes in " The Paris Letter," I'd say his body was that of a much younger man: tight, hairless ass and body; nice sized cut dick, surrounded by swell groomed thick pubes.

Yeah, Nick Jonas is short, but a short guy can still be an attractive guy. Myself, I find his squinty eyes and crooked mouth odd, but there's still something magnetic about the guy.

[quote] If when I was 16 or 17 had the chance to have sex with my 30-something Hollywood crush, hell of course I'd do it.

NAMBLA speak.

[quote] I don't think NPH knew how old Nick was

He said his age.

[quote] If this was JLo who said this, do you think she'd suffer the same consequences as NPH ?

Yes. Even worse.

Is Doogie still married to David Burqa?

They MUST have an open marriage, right?

I'd actually be shocked if they were still together. Especially with NPH's "wandering eye."

I like that Nick Jonas married a woman ten years older than himself. Not very common for straight men.

R54 - right - that arranged marriage with Priyanka in order to get them both press? C'mon man - you don't believe that shit, do you?

That's a PR marriage if I've ever seen one.

I like that Macron married an older woman, too. :/

I am so old I remember when chicken queens were proud to be chicken queens.

Nah-uh! Tom Cruise, George Clooney and John Travolta did.

We have a president who's been convicted of sexual assault, & more than likely, has sexually abused others, possibly his own daughters, whom he thinks of in sexual terms.

But, no, let's get our bloomers in an uproar over some B-list actor.

There's an uneasy feeling about teens and sex and at what age are they considered "available" as sexual objects. That's probably why we have hundreds of conflicting laws about it in the US alone. (Legal in some states at 16, others at 18 - the same conflicts with laws about "when can a teen get legally married"). Parts of those discrepancies are due to the different rates of sexual maturity, which can vary from 10-16, and secondly, to the different rates of psychological maturity, which can range from 15-25!

Many teens, especially male teens, are completely unaware of older people (defining that as 15-20 years older or more ) except as teachers or relatives. They don't think of adults of that age as having sex lives period, and would be grossed out by the thought of having sex with them. But adults do have sex lives . They are very aware that teens think about sex all the time and that their hormone levels are surging off the charts. Therefore, I think it's completely normal for adults to see teens with mature bodies as sexual. In fact, I think it's practically universal.

There's a HUGE gap between that casual awareness, and planning to try to arrange things so that they can have sex with a teen when they are in their 40s. There was a time that that was commonplace and societally approved, but that time is long in the past now, especially in Western cultures.

Let's go back 45 years ago, when men over 18 were lusting after Brooke Shields, and we didn't live in a world where 'outrage' was the primary emotion...

"Brooke Shields was 14 and 15 years old when she appeared in the Calvin Klein ads. The first ads, which included the famous "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins" tagline, were released in 1980 when she was 14. She continued to model for Calvin Klein in 1981, when she was 15. "

[quote] She continued to model for Calvin Klein in 1981, when she was 15. "

Aged out.

[quote]Who’s the asshole who put this out there, & who is after NPH, & WHY?

Redditors who love finding old details on celebrities to hold it against them. Most of Reddit already hated him because they found out that in 2011 he had a cake decorated as of Amy Winehouse's corpse.

The same way Reddit used to love Zoe Kravitz, until they saw an old quote from an interview she gave when she was 24 and said when she worked with a then 14-year old Jaden Smith on "After Earth" she thought he was handsome and she had to check what she said around him because she would, "When you're older, we should hang out." But she even said she felt it was inappropriate at the time.

I saw one Redditor today post a 2018 tweet by Demi Lovato where she crowed about pranking her bodyguard by hiring a prostitute to grope him. The comment section is aghast.

[quote]Most of Reddit already hated him because they found out that in 2011 he had a cake decorated as of Amy Winehouse's corpse.

Ewww - now I hate him, too. That's very disturbing.

Don't read Reddit. It's a cesspool and the people are dumb, too.

Dumber than the readers of Truth Social?

[quote]I like that Macron married an older woman, too. :/

That was to distract attention away from who his true love really is:

Age gap! Age gap! Age gap! Won't someone protect poor, inexperienced 47 year old Macron against that groomer 50+ year old Trudeau!

That would mean when Trudaeau (53) was 18, Macron would have only been 12!

EWWWW!
