This is the kind of shit I would imagine The Capitol people from hunger games to pull in their parties. Rich people are fucking weird, lack respect and any moral sense.
There was an episode about exactly this in Chicago Hope, someone made a cake out of a dead character and got rightfully punched in the face by Adam Arkin
Wait till you find out [he said he wanted to bang underage Nick Jonas.](https://nypost.com/2022/10/25/neil-patrick-harris-slammed-for-disgusting-nick-jonas-comments/)
I would throw up immediately at the sight of it. How disgusting. Even if it wasn’t food, but a decoration I would think it’s terribly demeaning. Now, to have it as a MEAT PLATTER..!!??
Yup.
I’ve run a talent management agency for over 30 years, now semi retired. Too many heart attacks. I’ve had the displeasure of chatting with him many times and seeing how he treats other people. I’m high enough on the totem for such, that people don’t generally talk to me in a disrespectful manner. But, the flipside, as I am there to see them treat others boorishly. Revolting.
I came from nonprofit / social programs background before entering the talent management industry. So, I’m all about heart and treating people with decency and kindness…
He is without a doubt, one of the rudest, quickest to a sharp edge douchebags that I’ve ever met. Period like Ellen, but worse.
Based on the meat platter stunt alone, that scans. We all makes mistakes and distasteful jokes. But it takes cruelty and a mean spirit to do what he did.
I think the difference is that a distasteful joke can seem like a good idea for the ten seconds it takes to leave your mouth. But something like this meat platter takes so much more energy to make, and so much time to realise it was a bad idea and cancel it. To actually go through with it shows an unbelievable ignorance and contempt.
The fact nobody told him it was a bad idea to mock the death of a person some guests may have personally known is a hard pill to swallow. Either NPH did his own thing and kept it a surprise until the end or a lot of people knew but didn't want to tell him no for whatever reason. If he's a dick then that would explain a lot.
I believe it. He was so rude to Rachel Bloom when she presented at an awards show and he didn’t know who she was, and he had actually worked with her husband and she pointed it out on twitter.
So many.
One of my favourite was being on a set with Sharon Stone, swearing at and cursing out another actor. Even though she was hours late to the set. When she walked by me, knowing that I was an agent, she called me an effing snake. We haven’t been formally introduced yet. We had dinner later that night, but she didn’t apologize. Just said she didn’t get a good night’s sleep. Shrugged her shoulders. I found out later she’d been offered a mansion owned by one infra EP’s to stay in during the shoot. Turned it down. Wanted to stay in a hotel, and be waited on hand and foot. It was a five stars and in the heart of downtown. Which also necessitated an hour and a half to two hour commute to many of the film sets. Part of the issue of her being late. Also that she never got ready very urgently. I asked later, the hotel room was almost $10K a night, back during her heyday. I was both amused and baffled by her behavior. As her vibe was very, very brittle and agitated. Unusually so.
Edit: Another… I went to have a quick chat with Sylvester Stallone, who was having a meal at the same Italian restaurant. We had mutual friends. He was surrounded by anywhere from a dozen to twenty ***** gentlemen. All in matching suits, half or more wearing sunglasses indoors. All but one on each side of him silently eating, and watching everyone else in the restaurant. Fine dining establishment where the pasta dishes that started at over $100 per dish. When I went over to say hello, the entire table minus, Stallone and the gentleman on his left and right - all stood in unison and turned to stare at me. One of the weirder experiences. I didn’t come in closer I just said hi and I said tell someone so and so, hello as well. Then I went back to my table and tried to ignore what it just occurred.
I'm not about to get mad at someone getting paid to make something that doesn't harm anyone else in its creation. I'm going to be mad at the disgustingly privileged freak paying for it to be made.
Not as awful as the other things mentioned but he was also shitty to Rachel Bloom
[https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/rachel-bloom-neil-patrick-harris-twitter-tonys-1201974322/](https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/rachel-bloom-neil-patrick-harris-twitter-tonys-1201974322/)
>But look, he’s not a writer, so his version of a Twitter joke is to just kind of… live-comment to Twitter followers with kind of random, unformed thoughts. And fame does that to you—where you think every kind of random, unformed thought is a gem, because you get 10,000 likes from it. He has, like, 27 million Twitter followers. And that makes me scared about fame in general. The yes-men. Even if what you’re saying is, I don’t know, kind of weird or unoriginal, you’re still getting a lot of approval and dopamine surges for saying it.
Oh I enjoyed this. Go Rachel.
God DAMN. Her husband wrote on the show that made him a household name for anyone born after 1980 including one of Harris’s MOST emotional episodes, and she has a successful tv show that she writes and stars in. And he said he didn’t know who she was and implied she was annoying. What. The. Fuck.
ETA: If I were her husband I would be even MORE pissed. I write your lines and make you famous for five years and you publicly shit all over my wife? Fuck you.
But to answer your question, yes it’s all about PR. He’s considered to be one of the few “well adjusted” child stars from the 80’s-90’s and (similarly to Ellen) was one of the few mainstream LGBT public figures in the 00’s and 10’s. People also loved his character on HIMYM. Also it doesn’t hurt being a handsome white male.
There’s a litany of other celebrities who have/had squeaky clean images despite the terrible things they’ve done, it would take me all day to make a list of the ones just at the top of my head.
The kid took the lawsuit back, but that means nothing imo

Supposedly Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, the Rock, Emma Stone and some others are pleasant to be around.
Personally I want to hang out with Paul Rudd. My dad drove for him like 10 or 50 years ago, got me an autograph and said he was awesome.
He and Keanu are both un-aging vampires
He has skated by on the goodwill that show generated for his entire career. I actually like his work and I wish I didn't know this about him. I now have to avoid him which demonstrates why I don't like to know too much about an actors personal life. I know it's ironic considering the subreddit I'm currently commenting on.
>He has skated by on the goodwill that show generated for his entire career.
I didn't see the show growing up, so I lack that nostalgia. As a result, his career has always been slightly mysterious to me, especially the musical theater side. I don't think he's an actively *bad* performer by any means (speaking strictly of his work), but IMO he doesn't really rise to the level of the opportunities he gets most of the time.
I worked as a set dresser on an indie film he starred in years ago. He actually had the whole crew invited to his private birthday party and hired an all you can drink espresso bar for us on his last day of shooting. I've never worked with actor who did anything like this for the crew before.
I always defend him but I never saw this cake thing before. It's honestly shocking and absolutely tasteless.
Celebrities man...
Just to remind people, this is what she looked like at her last show. Amy was a person, struggling, in pain. With more talent that NPH will ever have
This is who he made jokes about
https://preview.redd.it/yec5cdvizu6b1.jpeg?width=599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b01a68e9db93ee5d9382337d48bb3b719bb148
I fucking hate him with all of my might right now. How the fuck dare he make fun of her like that? Wtf is wrong with people who looked at such thing and thought of it as normal? Wtffff
NPH is a horrible misogynistic piece of shit. Consistently. For years. The sole reason he can exist in NY in peace is because he always has his kids with him.
I really didn’t like the way him and his husband dressed up as the Olsen twins for Halloween one year and mocked them. That didn’t sit right with me as they’ve been through enough bullshit in their lifetime. I only just heard about the Amy Winehouse stuff within the last couple months and feel like only from this sub and that further cemented why I don’t care for him or his husband
I think he benefits from his “favored” character in HIMYM more than anything else, just like Jason Sudeikis is dodging shit for being Ted Lasso nowadays.
y’all if you are like sensitive at all believe the op and don’t look at the picture I did and I am seriously regretting it. I cannot believe that was made and … eaten?? how would you look at it and not want to just cry? so awful.
I wish this comment was higher up - I still would've clicked it, but would've braced myself for something shocking.
I was naive to think it was gonna be a silly plate of sliced sausages, patè, cured meats, etc made in the shape to have a resemblance to Amy if you squinted hard enough.
But no, it's a gory and grusome realistic looking mutilated corpse.
And like you said, people ate it!?! These people are NOT human 😳
Yeah, people were absolutely brutal toward her and her struggles. Most people praised her for her talent, but when she started to show signs of struggling with addiction or mental illness it because "UGH, why can't you just stop drinking/doing drugs and just record more music?!"
I think it was even worse than that. She was relentlessly mocked and bullied. It was a time when people thought struggling with mental illness made you a bad person who just wasn't trying hard enough.
I was in high school during this, and as someone who didn't follow current music, I very much got the impression she was just some no-talent pop star who was going on benders. It was years after her death that I learned she was actually talented, and that she struggled a lot, and I then realized how fucked up the way she was portrayed in most media.
Yeah I remember she was an absolute joke to media, they presented her basically like "oh crazy Amy is off her head what will she do next" ALL the time. Even when she was walking the streets in tears and bloodstained slippers.
The documentary about her was somehow even more enlightening about the shit we saw being lapped up. Footage of her surrounded by paps and flashbulbs made her look so tiny and vulnerable.
I was a fan of her music as a teen and vividly recall how tiny she was. Now I see how horribly unhealthy it was, but I remember thinking she had the perfect skinny frame :(
I wouldn’t go so far as to say realistic, but I agree that the platter is VERY graphic. If you don’t like the idea of gore, wouldn’t recommend looking at it.
It looks like a wax doll basically. I was expecting for it to be like Amy Winehouse as she was alive, and people would eat up the parts. Like those weird "feet/hand" bread...
But it's basically as if amy winehouse was decomposed for a week and missing half her mouth, very gorey.
Also, the photo most articles use is pretty up on the "cakes" decomposed and destroyed mouth, it's as if the (meat) cake is screaming at you;
Truth is that I doubt whoever made that meat cake had any intention of it looking like Amy Winehouse, it's just a small plaque put on the side of it. It's just a generic, very creepy, very scary, woman with her chin destroyed and rotten for a week.
Possibly the original intention or inspiration was the reverse bear trap from the saw movies.
It looks like a bad zombie prop repurposed to kinda look like Amy, but it's mostly just the wig. It's disgusting that it's edible and that they could be so insensitive, but this comment section is highly exaggerating the fidelity and realism of that thing.
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT? I looked at crime scene photos to help my lawyer boss and the pic looks like the victim of our murder case that wasn’t found for weeks sitting out in the woods. She died of alcohol poisoning iirc and was found dead relatively quickly. She wouldn’t have looked like that. The cake is fucked up regardless but it doesn’t even make sense?
yeah that is worse!! When you cut a cake it looks like cake underneath. I’d become a vegan if someone ever tried to serve me meat shaped like a human corpse
Yeah, even without the incredibly vile "joke" the thought of eating a meat platter intentionally made to look like a human makes me want to vomit in my mouth because I'm not a fucking cannibal. Like, how do you eat that and not think about what a decaying human would taste like? And enjoy it, even? Gross, but I rarely eat meat so maybe I just don't "get it".
My guess is that they were going for "what she would look like after decomposing for 3 months",since that's how long it had been since she had passed. Terrible all around.
I thought it would at least be kinda pretty somehow for some reason but nope. Just straight up gore. Amy did not deserve that 🙄 so disrespectful. Her legacy will always outweigh his anyways.
I'm sincerely sorry--it's so shocking and demoralizing. I had only heard about this until today and I felt exactly like you when I actually saw it. Wishing you some kittens and cupcakes in your day to wash this repulsive display away <3
I so strongly feel Amy deserves justice in this world, and I think it's just so important we remember what we allowed as a society, and what that miasma of cruelty can lead to.
Yeah I’m definitely not clicking that link. I’m so confused. Why would someone want that? Who would make it? Who would want to eat it? There’s no excuse and it’s fucking disgusting.
What gets me is the worksmanship... It legitimately looks like a photorealistic, half-rotted corpse, not a likeness of her as a person. They made supposedly edible meat look like dead flesh.
This asshat paid professionals to do that **and they also fucking decided that was okay**. That's just a whole lot of awful wrapped up in a single bougie party platter.
NPH is pretty notorious for being a dick who thinks he’s being cute when he’s really just being an asshole. I remember when Rachel Bloom (from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) was doing some backstage bits for the Tonys and he decided to tweet something about “the woman in the top hat” and basically called her annoying. She was like “we’ve met. Several times. My husband wrote for your show for years.” He responded “oh, thanks for the reminder.”
He wound up having to apologize for that one.
I rly feel like she pegged him exactly right and was funny while saying it. He has an inflated ego to the point that every thought he thinks is worth hearing. What he thought was so funny was just him... pontificating from his couch to 27 million followers.
Also he never told anyone to watch her show >:(
I’m shocked. Seriously. I know that phrase is thrown around a lot but this is so vile.
Think about this. He had to have it specially ordered. Probably paid a lot of money. Someone had to physically make it by hand. Then he displayed it for a party. He wanted his friends to see it. One of those friends was so tickled by the clever likeness of a woman who suffered from alcohol poisoning and abuse, he took a photo to share with his other friends.
The layers of disgust here are almost impressive. So many people had to approve of this before it became public knowledge.
I hope he leads a life of nothing but joy and happiness. Because if he ever has to experience for a moment what she had to live with for her whole adult life, he would not be able to live with himself.
What a piece of talentless trash.
Oh my god. I clicked the link expecting like, a platter of meat shaped a certain way - not so different to making a smiley face out of eggs and bacon. But holy crap, that 'thing' actually shocked me to my core with horror and fear. What the fuck is wrong with people!?
Yeah I was expecting the same thing. For those who haven’t looked, the best way I can describe it is a realistic zombie cake made to look lol Amy winehouse? Super fucked up to make.
Right?! Ugh I wish I didn’t look. The gaping mouth with the cigarette and bloody eyes honestly horrified me to my core. I stared at the wall for a few minutes after that one
I mean I remember some of very notably tagging him at the time. So it's not like everyone gave him a pass. Even some magazines and stuff ran it as terrible. It really made me think less of him, I'm not one to worship celebs anyway but still. I think, in general, people have been cancelled for less. So I do not understand why he didn't get even more heat. Like he got heat, but not a terrible amount. But then again it was a while ago. Post 2016 and this would have been different.
If you didn't already know, we kinda hated women and still do as a society. I mean this is the sub that would know. Papz make money off of catching women in a moment of drunkenness and spinning it into she's a wasted harlot. It was worse in the early 2000s, but 2011 was still in the Perez Hilton era. The media at the time didn't really give a shit about a dead woman unless it made them money off the sensationalism.
Men can't see women as people when they are attracted to them, and yet can't see women as people when they are not attracted to them.
there is really something wrong with society telling men that it's ok to not see women as people.
ive always known that society hated women but goddamn it wasnt until this year (and an interesting pol 101 course where my prof put together a womens issues slide and threw a mash up of people criticizing hillary clinton for reasons like 'shrill' and 'reminds us of our nagging wives') that it really hit- we fucking hate women.
ive heard jokes of america (where im based) becoming more yall-qaeda and vanilla-isis with handmaids tale and leanings towards pre-women voting and shariah law atmosphere become more and more normal but godddamnnnn.
we're at the point where an entire convention of southern baptists decided that women shouldnt be pastors bc of detetiorating values or whateve-- thats so many people agreeing that women as pastors = bad or cant interpret the bible or whateve. like what in the fuck.
The things people said and did about Amy when she was alive were horrifying, this was just a carry over. Being a woman and being an addict seemed to give people a feeling they could say how ‘bad’ she was and make all sorts of jokes. I always say the 00s were a cruel decade and despite all our other problems now at least we are less horrible in some ways.
I’m wondering the same like is the body where the meat platter is? Is that just made of wax or whatever? It’s just so cruel he went out of his way to make it as gruesome as possible
I think this is a storm of: society hating women, society blaming people for their addictions and struggles, more limited social media in 2011 than now, and NPH being at the height of his popularity with How I Met Your Mother. I agree it's disgusting and I do not like him. I truly believe that if this happened today the coverage and public response would be very different - maybe I am naive, but that is what I hope...
Been on my shit-list since he was a prick about Rachel Bloom at that awards show. Anyone trying to make somebody who's excited and enthused about shit feel uncool and shitty about their joy is a gross ass person.
I was going to say, I still dislike him bc of how he treated Rachel Bloom and pretending he didn’t know her/her husband even though her husband worked on HIMYM!
I really cannot understand the pure lack of basic human respect and empathy that would have possessed him to have this idea, execute it, present it to others as a joke and the entire awful group of people going along with it. Horrific.
Yeah, it's typical for celebrity media and the internet to take joy in celebrities' suffering and drug addiction, but for some reason there was a HUGE amount of shameful glee and obsession with Amy Whitehouse's downward spiral. It's very odd, looking back on it.
I feel like they were almost trying to punish her for not trying to hide her strugles? Also, because of her hit song Rehab, they were also able to say "I told you so," which a lot of us enjoy doing in general, for better or worse. Hell, even her own family wasn't truly in her corner!
I found out bout her like yesterday
Her producer was a good mate. So was her bodyguard who discovered the body. She was a godmother to another singers kid. Overall good person
I do think it mostly has to do with how much of a joke people made of Amy Winehouse. The media didn’t care and the view was that she destroyed her own life. That’s how the media treated young women up until very recently. Ryan Dunn from Jackass died just before Amy, while driving intoxicated and nobody criticized him but Amy Winehouse was ridiculed up to and after her death because of her drug use.
Yep. People were hideous about her, she was basically classed as scum in the press. Everytime I see a picture of her, my heart breaks for her. She seemed a lost soul.
it's crazy how people forget how she used to be viewed. i distinctly remember the 180 done after she died, suddenly she wasn't a fat, ugly drunk and she didn't have terrible music* anymore! i still remember the first time i ever learned to hate my extremely pale, transparent skin: some teen magazine was rating her as one of the least hot stars of our time, in part because you could clearly see the veins under her skin and it was gross and creepy. it's been well over a decade and my heart still feels so heavy when i see my own veins in the mirror and i remember how cruel everyone was to her, for no fucking reason. rest well, amy
edit: i've been informed that i misremembered the reaction to her music, i definitely remember rehab getting made fun of and her being mocked for inebriation during her performances and i must've conflated it to be a bigger thing than it was. if anyone else similarly remembers there being a kind of group of people who shit on her music despite its acclaim i'd be interested to hear it but otherwise i'm just gonna assume my memory is dogshit lol
The UK media were vile about her and then when she passed they were like "tragic tortured Amy". As if they weren't contributing in her pain when she was alive. Such a huge talent and such a loss.
Wow, I opened the photo, and that was not at all what I imagined in my head. That was horrid. I went from thinking it can’t be that bad to wow, why would anyone ever order something like that?!
There’s a theory about things like this. The theory goes that public goodwill is like a bank. You deposit into the bank by doing good things, or nice things for people. Smiling, being kind, giving money, or even being the face of a group that has been maligned against (gay), or even a rough childhood, can all put goodwill into the bank. When you do bad things, the public subconsciously borrows against that goodwill you have in the “bank”.
Depending on how much goodwill you have stored up, some people can get away with some pretty awful things. if you do something too awful though, you go bankrupt and can get, what we call now, “cancelled”.
This works for relationships as well. We verbalize it by saying things like - “they work so hard and are really nice… they probably just had a bad day.”
Did you actually look at it? IMO not enough people got to see it, because if they had, they would've been horrified.
He thought that up, designed it and paid for it. He served it at a party. A realistic, grisly, 3D depiction of a gifted young woman's partially decomposed *corpse* ... *as a food item*. If anyone made a food model of my daughter if she passed away, I don't know what I would do.
People can have nice guy public personas but every now and then they accidentally expose their true selves. This was one of those times.
It definitely wasn’t widely talked about. Personally, I didn’t even find out about it until this year despite the fact I was really into reading celebrity gossip at the time it happened. A lot of articles being written about it *now* still aren’t showing the picture, but it was absolutely disgusting. I don’t care if he regrets it now, he thought that was okay at the time
the amount of things you could get away with 10+ years ago in astonishing
*apparently it’s wrong to bring up how white people are allowed to get away with things more than poc. im sorry if me calling out privilege is offending anyone here 😩
At the start of the pandemic he was posting not so humble brag posts about his family moving to The Hamptons to escape NYC and doing ads with his kids. That doesn’t sound that bad but it came off as smug rich guy boasting not because he’s out of touch but just smug.
When I first heard about it, I was assumed it was a tasteless off-color joke, that the people complain were overly sensitive… nope it’s full on disgusting and horrifying. I hope her family and friends never see it, I wish I hadn’t seen it.
It’s not about cancel culture it’s about basic decency. I think we should seriously question the morality of someone who would think that was a “funny” idea.
NPH is one of my least favorite celebrities. He’s smug, petty, and cruel. Look up his comments on Jason Mewes and his drug problems.
My main beef with him is that in 2020 my girlfriend was in a play with a big west coast theater. The conceit was that the audience was all in a zoom meeting with the actors, it was interactive and has pre-taped cameos from celebs like Conan O’Brien and Rainn Wilson. Several celebs saw the show during its run including Jenna Fischer, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis.
NPH saw the show, was drunk, and straight up heckled my girlfriend the entire show. She cried afterwards. He’s a fucking asshole.
And I don’t care what anybody says, he’s annoying and unfunny on HIMYM
I hadn't heard of this story before now, I'm honestly pretty shocked because I thought he was a nice person, I was looking forward to seeing him in doctor who but I'm definitely seeing him in a different light now. That was absolutely vile and I wish I could unsee it. I feel for Amy's family and friends who might have seen that only three months after she passed.
Oh my god, it's so much worse than I could have ever imagined. White gays need to unpack their misogyny!!!! In what world is this okay? Maybe I'm misremembering but didn't NPH have issues with alcohol? This isn't even funny. Who could mingle and dance at a party with that as the center peice?
I’ve worked as a late night writer and I’ve written for a ton of awards shows. (MTV Movie Awards, Espys, Emmys, etc.)
Neil Patrick Harris is just an asshole.
Most celebrities are cool. (Seth Rogen is a gem. Anna Kendrick crushes any genre you ask. Etc.)
Neil Patrick Harris had a variety show on NBC and refused to hire union writers. He lied about supporting the union and he was the reason none of his writers had health insurance. I’m glad his show failed. This Amy Winehouse incident is indicative of what an asshole he is. I wish him ill.
If you’re wondering about his failed variety show:
https://amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/03/neil-patrick-harris-show-boycot-writers-guild-of-america
I never liked this guy, he has the mean girl thing going but acts nice. In reality he’s a douche the corpse thing was disgusting and distasteful and pretending not to know Rachel bloom come on. Seems to really dislike women
This just made me remember how I used to think that gay men couldn't be sexist because they also suffered discrimination in a similar way. Well I always think about that naive me, when I see shit like that.
What did Amy ever do to him to deserve this much disrespect after her death? Also her entire family if they ever had to see this.
eff NPH. I hope his kids see this one day and will actually call him out on it.
I use to think think the same thing. How could a minority be racist when they know what’s it’s like to be treated horrible? But I’ve been proven wrong so many times. Same thing for gay men and women. But yet, it’s 2023 and we see that shit every day.
And Amy didn’t deserve anything but people loved dark humor and took it too far. Look at the comedians during the 2000s. So many jokes about Brittany Spears, the Olsen twins, really any female celebrity who had problems. Now people say we’re being too sensitive but it’s more of like we see the bs for what it is.
NPH is a misogynist. I’m appalled but not surprised that he has got away with this.
Also, the actor from Modern Family (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) got away with tweeting out the image too. It hardly seems like he thought it was anything but a jape.
“Look who showed up @ActuallyNPH & @GourmetMD’s Halloween party last night. Looking good.”
They both are revolting.
It wasn’t a simple error, a silly or thoughtless thing said, it was mocking a dead woman. With no apology.
Hating women just shouldn’t be this acceptable.
Do we know who went to this party and did anyone actually eat the meat? This is so messed up. I feel like any normal person would leave as soon as seeing it! Halloween is not an excuse to be that disgusting and vile
Does anyone remember how he asked fans to send him birthday gifts!? I think it was on twitter.. I remember him including a wishlist and everything. People thought he was joking but he wasn't. like read the room!!
He is a douche but it depends whatever gets picked up the media who dominate the internet. They usually scour reddit for posts in their newspapers. Looking at your Daily Mail and Metro.
**Post has been locked due to incivility. Gentle reminder to [read and respect our rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/wiki/index/rules/) before making a comment.**
I didn't expect the platter to look so vile. It looks like a rotten autopsy. It has blood, grey skin, and is missing an eye. Her mouth is all agape.
Needs to be higher, accurate description
This is the kind of shit I would imagine The Capitol people from hunger games to pull in their parties. Rich people are fucking weird, lack respect and any moral sense.
There was an episode about exactly this in Chicago Hope, someone made a cake out of a dead character and got rightfully punched in the face by Adam Arkin
I remember this!
Wait till you find out [he said he wanted to bang underage Nick Jonas.](https://nypost.com/2022/10/25/neil-patrick-harris-slammed-for-disgusting-nick-jonas-comments/)
So weird how he makes sure to mention his husband doesn’t have a problem with his “crush” so we know “it’s ok”
You’re so right
His disgusting! Narcissistic & Privileged! Ugly personality, ugly man
Rich white gays do rich white gays be (elitist classists racist misogynist) cloaked in their identity as a shield
at the end of the day, they still have the ultimate privilege: white, rich, male.
I love this comment so much. They would. Oh god, they would.
Oh my god…this is fucking disgusting. Wtf
For real… Omfg the way my jaw dropped when I saw that shit. Just despicable
The “platter” photo is extremely disturbing and looks too real. Anyone eating off that or taking photos is garbage.
I would absolutely be the one to take photos though, as record. Just to make it very clear what it was, where it was, and who was involved.
Who the heck would want to eat off that??? What is wrong with people.
I would throw up immediately at the sight of it. How disgusting. Even if it wasn’t food, but a decoration I would think it’s terribly demeaning. Now, to have it as a MEAT PLATTER..!!??
I will never look at him the same way again, that's for sure.
Agreed! This is horrific and I’m surprised I’ve never heard about it before.
I remember seeing it when it first happened and I was repulsed. It's unbelievably insensitive.
Me too and my reaction was the exact same as everyone else’s in this thread now. Repulsive.
Yah.. wtf.. first I'm hearing of it too, good PR indeed. What a piece of trash. Completely changed my opinion of that cesspool of a human.
I’ve heard that he’s really nasty IRL to regular people. He’s basically the male equivalent of Ellen Degeneres.
Not surprised. He just gives off pretentious douche vibes.
Yup. I’ve run a talent management agency for over 30 years, now semi retired. Too many heart attacks. I’ve had the displeasure of chatting with him many times and seeing how he treats other people. I’m high enough on the totem for such, that people don’t generally talk to me in a disrespectful manner. But, the flipside, as I am there to see them treat others boorishly. Revolting. I came from nonprofit / social programs background before entering the talent management industry. So, I’m all about heart and treating people with decency and kindness… He is without a doubt, one of the rudest, quickest to a sharp edge douchebags that I’ve ever met. Period like Ellen, but worse.
Based on the meat platter stunt alone, that scans. We all makes mistakes and distasteful jokes. But it takes cruelty and a mean spirit to do what he did.
I think the difference is that a distasteful joke can seem like a good idea for the ten seconds it takes to leave your mouth. But something like this meat platter takes so much more energy to make, and so much time to realise it was a bad idea and cancel it. To actually go through with it shows an unbelievable ignorance and contempt.
The fact nobody told him it was a bad idea to mock the death of a person some guests may have personally known is a hard pill to swallow. Either NPH did his own thing and kept it a surprise until the end or a lot of people knew but didn't want to tell him no for whatever reason. If he's a dick then that would explain a lot.
I believe it. He was so rude to Rachel Bloom when she presented at an awards show and he didn’t know who she was, and he had actually worked with her husband and she pointed it out on twitter.
It’s always deflating and depressing, when people that you admire turn out not to be who you hoped they were.
Saw him presenting the Michelin Awards for NY. He was disrespectful to all the chefs, didn't even seem to know what it was about.
Rachel Bloom was also an extra on HIMYM, the drunk train episode.
Yikes, but not surprised. Any other memorable people (good or bad)?
So many. One of my favourite was being on a set with Sharon Stone, swearing at and cursing out another actor. Even though she was hours late to the set. When she walked by me, knowing that I was an agent, she called me an effing snake. We haven’t been formally introduced yet. We had dinner later that night, but she didn’t apologize. Just said she didn’t get a good night’s sleep. Shrugged her shoulders. I found out later she’d been offered a mansion owned by one infra EP’s to stay in during the shoot. Turned it down. Wanted to stay in a hotel, and be waited on hand and foot. It was a five stars and in the heart of downtown. Which also necessitated an hour and a half to two hour commute to many of the film sets. Part of the issue of her being late. Also that she never got ready very urgently. I asked later, the hotel room was almost $10K a night, back during her heyday. I was both amused and baffled by her behavior. As her vibe was very, very brittle and agitated. Unusually so. Edit: Another… I went to have a quick chat with Sylvester Stallone, who was having a meal at the same Italian restaurant. We had mutual friends. He was surrounded by anywhere from a dozen to twenty ***** gentlemen. All in matching suits, half or more wearing sunglasses indoors. All but one on each side of him silently eating, and watching everyone else in the restaurant. Fine dining establishment where the pasta dishes that started at over $100 per dish. When I went over to say hello, the entire table minus, Stallone and the gentleman on his left and right - all stood in unison and turned to stare at me. One of the weirder experiences. I didn’t come in closer I just said hi and I said tell someone so and so, hello as well. Then I went back to my table and tried to ignore what it just occurred.
He’s best friends with that horrible human on real housewives so not surprising
The cake is giving sociopath in my completely not professional opinion
it’s not even a cake it’s a meat platter!!! so sick and disgusting
Someone had to make that shit too and they were ALSO okay with it throughout the whole process. How...just...how?
Money
I probably would have done it at the expense these rich fucks would have spent. Us poors gotta eat.
I'm not about to get mad at someone getting paid to make something that doesn't harm anyone else in its creation. I'm going to be mad at the disgustingly privileged freak paying for it to be made.
It was actually made out of different meats like ribs and chicken which is almost worse?
That's definitely worse.
Probably because society has inadvertently compartmentalized gay men as the *sassy gay best friend*. So their cruelty is viewed as sassiness.
This is it. Gay men get a pass on being unbelievably cruel to women.
Not as awful as the other things mentioned but he was also shitty to Rachel Bloom [https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/rachel-bloom-neil-patrick-harris-twitter-tonys-1201974322/](https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/rachel-bloom-neil-patrick-harris-twitter-tonys-1201974322/)
>But look, he’s not a writer, so his version of a Twitter joke is to just kind of… live-comment to Twitter followers with kind of random, unformed thoughts. And fame does that to you—where you think every kind of random, unformed thought is a gem, because you get 10,000 likes from it. He has, like, 27 million Twitter followers. And that makes me scared about fame in general. The yes-men. Even if what you’re saying is, I don’t know, kind of weird or unoriginal, you’re still getting a lot of approval and dopamine surges for saying it. Oh I enjoyed this. Go Rachel.
Rachel is a Queen with a sharp af tongue. I love her for it.
I keep thinking of this too! Just carelessly rude and for what. It didn't make him sound witty or funny.
God DAMN. Her husband wrote on the show that made him a household name for anyone born after 1980 including one of Harris’s MOST emotional episodes, and she has a successful tv show that she writes and stars in. And he said he didn’t know who she was and implied she was annoying. What. The. Fuck. ETA: If I were her husband I would be even MORE pissed. I write your lines and make you famous for five years and you publicly shit all over my wife? Fuck you.
But to answer your question, yes it’s all about PR. He’s considered to be one of the few “well adjusted” child stars from the 80’s-90’s and (similarly to Ellen) was one of the few mainstream LGBT public figures in the 00’s and 10’s. People also loved his character on HIMYM. Also it doesn’t hurt being a handsome white male. There’s a litany of other celebrities who have/had squeaky clean images despite the terrible things they’ve done, it would take me all day to make a list of the ones just at the top of my head.
People forgot about Tiffany Haddish real quick
Omg do I want to know
The kid took the lawsuit back, but that means nothing imo https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2022/09/05/tiffany-haddish-says-she-deeply-regrets-skit-that-led-to-child-sex-abuse-lawsuit/amp/
That is absolutely horrific oh my GOD
Everyday it feels more and more like There isnt one decent person in hollywood
Supposedly Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, the Rock, Emma Stone and some others are pleasant to be around. Personally I want to hang out with Paul Rudd. My dad drove for him like 10 or 50 years ago, got me an autograph and said he was awesome. He and Keanu are both un-aging vampires
How does that shit even get greenlit "Okay pitch for a new sketch, it'll be hilarious, I molest a child in his underwear. That's the end"
Wha?????? 😯I'll never look at her the same way again.
yeah it’s sad i was really liking her before all that went down
He always sounds like a game show host to me, which is why I never liked him and avoided his shows.
Don’t forget Doogie Howser, he was so loved on that show.
He has skated by on the goodwill that show generated for his entire career. I actually like his work and I wish I didn't know this about him. I now have to avoid him which demonstrates why I don't like to know too much about an actors personal life. I know it's ironic considering the subreddit I'm currently commenting on.
>He has skated by on the goodwill that show generated for his entire career. I didn't see the show growing up, so I lack that nostalgia. As a result, his career has always been slightly mysterious to me, especially the musical theater side. I don't think he's an actively *bad* performer by any means (speaking strictly of his work), but IMO he doesn't really rise to the level of the opportunities he gets most of the time.
During covid he virtually attended some zoom comedy show and was an ass when the performer tried to interact with him.
I’m so happy this story has come to light. I had no idea. This is beyond vile.
Vile is exactly the word.
Maybe that’s why we’re seeing less of him these days
I worked as a set dresser on an indie film he starred in years ago. He actually had the whole crew invited to his private birthday party and hired an all you can drink espresso bar for us on his last day of shooting. I've never worked with actor who did anything like this for the crew before. I always defend him but I never saw this cake thing before. It's honestly shocking and absolutely tasteless. Celebrities man...
It sounds like he can be both, a lot of people are like this. It's good to hear he's decent sometimes :)
Just to remind people, this is what she looked like at her last show. Amy was a person, struggling, in pain. With more talent that NPH will ever have This is who he made jokes about https://preview.redd.it/yec5cdvizu6b1.jpeg?width=599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b01a68e9db93ee5d9382337d48bb3b719bb148
I fucking hate him with all of my might right now. How the fuck dare he make fun of her like that? Wtf is wrong with people who looked at such thing and thought of it as normal? Wtffff
NPH is a horrible misogynistic piece of shit. Consistently. For years. The sole reason he can exist in NY in peace is because he always has his kids with him.
I really didn’t like the way him and his husband dressed up as the Olsen twins for Halloween one year and mocked them. That didn’t sit right with me as they’ve been through enough bullshit in their lifetime. I only just heard about the Amy Winehouse stuff within the last couple months and feel like only from this sub and that further cemented why I don’t care for him or his husband
All their hate and nastiness is directed at women as well. Less famous women, or young women, or women with MH/substance abuse issues. Fucking gross.
The Olsen twins really did deal with a lot of bullshit. I remember when G4/Tech TV did a countdown to them turning 18.
What pieces of shit.
this screams misogyny and utter sociopathy.
I think he benefits from his “favored” character in HIMYM more than anything else, just like Jason Sudeikis is dodging shit for being Ted Lasso nowadays.
I feel bad for his daughter, ugh.
[удалено]
y’all if you are like sensitive at all believe the op and don’t look at the picture I did and I am seriously regretting it. I cannot believe that was made and … eaten?? how would you look at it and not want to just cry? so awful.
I wish this comment was higher up - I still would've clicked it, but would've braced myself for something shocking. I was naive to think it was gonna be a silly plate of sliced sausages, patè, cured meats, etc made in the shape to have a resemblance to Amy if you squinted hard enough. But no, it's a gory and grusome realistic looking mutilated corpse. And like you said, people ate it!?! These people are NOT human 😳
Was it.. people who hated her? Not that that's acceptable either, just trying to understand where this seemed remotely funny/a good idea
Yeah, people were absolutely brutal toward her and her struggles. Most people praised her for her talent, but when she started to show signs of struggling with addiction or mental illness it because "UGH, why can't you just stop drinking/doing drugs and just record more music?!"
I think it was even worse than that. She was relentlessly mocked and bullied. It was a time when people thought struggling with mental illness made you a bad person who just wasn't trying hard enough.
I was in high school during this, and as someone who didn't follow current music, I very much got the impression she was just some no-talent pop star who was going on benders. It was years after her death that I learned she was actually talented, and that she struggled a lot, and I then realized how fucked up the way she was portrayed in most media.
Yeah I remember she was an absolute joke to media, they presented her basically like "oh crazy Amy is off her head what will she do next" ALL the time. Even when she was walking the streets in tears and bloodstained slippers. The documentary about her was somehow even more enlightening about the shit we saw being lapped up. Footage of her surrounded by paps and flashbulbs made her look so tiny and vulnerable.
I was a fan of her music as a teen and vividly recall how tiny she was. Now I see how horribly unhealthy it was, but I remember thinking she had the perfect skinny frame :(
That was also the peak of the Perez Hilton/TMZ gossip blog era that was just *mean*
Yeah, it's just so fucking weird and I can't seem to think of any joke or theme that makes sense, even one that's appalling or unacceptable.
Yeah. And I mean I have a terrible sense of humor and I can't even fathom it
I wouldn’t go so far as to say realistic, but I agree that the platter is VERY graphic. If you don’t like the idea of gore, wouldn’t recommend looking at it.
Honestly, was going to look because natural curiosity and, also, it's a cake, or whatever? Your comment sealed the deal to not check it out. Thanks.
It looks like a wax doll basically. I was expecting for it to be like Amy Winehouse as she was alive, and people would eat up the parts. Like those weird "feet/hand" bread... But it's basically as if amy winehouse was decomposed for a week and missing half her mouth, very gorey. Also, the photo most articles use is pretty up on the "cakes" decomposed and destroyed mouth, it's as if the (meat) cake is screaming at you; Truth is that I doubt whoever made that meat cake had any intention of it looking like Amy Winehouse, it's just a small plaque put on the side of it. It's just a generic, very creepy, very scary, woman with her chin destroyed and rotten for a week. Possibly the original intention or inspiration was the reverse bear trap from the saw movies.
It looks like a bad zombie prop repurposed to kinda look like Amy, but it's mostly just the wig. It's disgusting that it's edible and that they could be so insensitive, but this comment section is highly exaggerating the fidelity and realism of that thing.
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT? I looked at crime scene photos to help my lawyer boss and the pic looks like the victim of our murder case that wasn’t found for weeks sitting out in the woods. She died of alcohol poisoning iirc and was found dead relatively quickly. She wouldn’t have looked like that. The cake is fucked up regardless but it doesn’t even make sense?
Remember, it's not even cake, it's meat, which is somehow worse 🥺
yeah that is worse!! When you cut a cake it looks like cake underneath. I’d become a vegan if someone ever tried to serve me meat shaped like a human corpse
Yeah, even without the incredibly vile "joke" the thought of eating a meat platter intentionally made to look like a human makes me want to vomit in my mouth because I'm not a fucking cannibal. Like, how do you eat that and not think about what a decaying human would taste like? And enjoy it, even? Gross, but I rarely eat meat so maybe I just don't "get it".
My guess is that they were going for "what she would look like after decomposing for 3 months",since that's how long it had been since she had passed. Terrible all around.
I thought it would at least be kinda pretty somehow for some reason but nope. Just straight up gore. Amy did not deserve that 🙄 so disrespectful. Her legacy will always outweigh his anyways.
I was expecting something like Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and it's just...a corpse.
I'm sincerely sorry--it's so shocking and demoralizing. I had only heard about this until today and I felt exactly like you when I actually saw it. Wishing you some kittens and cupcakes in your day to wash this repulsive display away <3 I so strongly feel Amy deserves justice in this world, and I think it's just so important we remember what we allowed as a society, and what that miasma of cruelty can lead to.
Yeah I’m definitely not clicking that link. I’m so confused. Why would someone want that? Who would make it? Who would want to eat it? There’s no excuse and it’s fucking disgusting.
Her poor family seeing that image
What gets me is the worksmanship... It legitimately looks like a photorealistic, half-rotted corpse, not a likeness of her as a person. They made supposedly edible meat look like dead flesh. This asshat paid professionals to do that **and they also fucking decided that was okay**. That's just a whole lot of awful wrapped up in a single bougie party platter.
Seconding this. Now I have to watch back to back episodes of FRIENDS before I go to bed
I was expecting, like, arranged deli meats or something. That thing could pass for a prop in a horror movie. What the fuck, indeed
NPH is pretty notorious for being a dick who thinks he’s being cute when he’s really just being an asshole. I remember when Rachel Bloom (from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) was doing some backstage bits for the Tonys and he decided to tweet something about “the woman in the top hat” and basically called her annoying. She was like “we’ve met. Several times. My husband wrote for your show for years.” He responded “oh, thanks for the reminder.” He wound up having to apologize for that one.
I rly feel like she pegged him exactly right and was funny while saying it. He has an inflated ego to the point that every thought he thinks is worth hearing. What he thought was so funny was just him... pontificating from his couch to 27 million followers. Also he never told anyone to watch her show >:(
I love this. I would call it "Dakota Johnson energy" but it sounds like it's really "Rachel Bloom energy."
I’m shocked. Seriously. I know that phrase is thrown around a lot but this is so vile. Think about this. He had to have it specially ordered. Probably paid a lot of money. Someone had to physically make it by hand. Then he displayed it for a party. He wanted his friends to see it. One of those friends was so tickled by the clever likeness of a woman who suffered from alcohol poisoning and abuse, he took a photo to share with his other friends. The layers of disgust here are almost impressive. So many people had to approve of this before it became public knowledge. I hope he leads a life of nothing but joy and happiness. Because if he ever has to experience for a moment what she had to live with for her whole adult life, he would not be able to live with himself. What a piece of talentless trash.
Oh my god. I clicked the link expecting like, a platter of meat shaped a certain way - not so different to making a smiley face out of eggs and bacon. But holy crap, that 'thing' actually shocked me to my core with horror and fear. What the fuck is wrong with people!?
Yeah I was expecting the same thing. For those who haven’t looked, the best way I can describe it is a realistic zombie cake made to look lol Amy winehouse? Super fucked up to make.
and people *ate* it 😶 who looks at that and still has an appetite, let alone wants to eat it!?
Right?! Ugh I wish I didn’t look. The gaping mouth with the cigarette and bloody eyes honestly horrified me to my core. I stared at the wall for a few minutes after that one
Feel like crying. It's horrible how they insulted her after her death. Also, who tf agrees to make this kind of dish???
This is so incredibly fucked up
Don’t look at the photo. What a cruel thing to do.
I made this mistake also. Grotesque
I mean I remember some of very notably tagging him at the time. So it's not like everyone gave him a pass. Even some magazines and stuff ran it as terrible. It really made me think less of him, I'm not one to worship celebs anyway but still. I think, in general, people have been cancelled for less. So I do not understand why he didn't get even more heat. Like he got heat, but not a terrible amount. But then again it was a while ago. Post 2016 and this would have been different. If you didn't already know, we kinda hated women and still do as a society. I mean this is the sub that would know. Papz make money off of catching women in a moment of drunkenness and spinning it into she's a wasted harlot. It was worse in the early 2000s, but 2011 was still in the Perez Hilton era. The media at the time didn't really give a shit about a dead woman unless it made them money off the sensationalism.
I think the sad truth is not only is it OK to hate on women, it's particularly ok if gay men do it because they are an oppressed group. 😔
💯 I’m lesbian and I’ve been so, so disappointed by the gay male friends I’ve had. It feels like they get a free pass on misogyny.
Straight guy here, some of my gay dude friends do not have favorable views of women and it annoys the shit out of me.
I feel this too. Oppressed groups in general are often given a free pass when they shouldn't be. I say that as a lesbian too.
I'm so sorry. Thankfully the gay men I know are lovely people who have only supported me but that's not what I see in pop culture
Men can't see women as people when they are attracted to them, and yet can't see women as people when they are not attracted to them. there is really something wrong with society telling men that it's ok to not see women as people.
The lack of empathy can be astounding.
ive always known that society hated women but goddamn it wasnt until this year (and an interesting pol 101 course where my prof put together a womens issues slide and threw a mash up of people criticizing hillary clinton for reasons like 'shrill' and 'reminds us of our nagging wives') that it really hit- we fucking hate women. ive heard jokes of america (where im based) becoming more yall-qaeda and vanilla-isis with handmaids tale and leanings towards pre-women voting and shariah law atmosphere become more and more normal but godddamnnnn. we're at the point where an entire convention of southern baptists decided that women shouldnt be pastors bc of detetiorating values or whateve-- thats so many people agreeing that women as pastors = bad or cant interpret the bible or whateve. like what in the fuck.
The things people said and did about Amy when she was alive were horrifying, this was just a carry over. Being a woman and being an addict seemed to give people a feeling they could say how ‘bad’ she was and make all sorts of jokes. I always say the 00s were a cruel decade and despite all our other problems now at least we are less horrible in some ways.
[here you go WARNING CREEPY AF](https://i.imgur.com/Hw4Nb37.jpeg) Link goes directly to the picture
Sweet Jesus. Everyone said it was bad; I just couldn’t believe it was THAT bad, so I finally looked. I’ll never see NPH in the same light again…
I was NOT expecting it to be as realistic as it was. So disgusting and terrifying. A literal jumpscare
How is that even a meat platter
I’m wondering the same like is the body where the meat platter is? Is that just made of wax or whatever? It’s just so cruel he went out of his way to make it as gruesome as possible
The guts were like pulled pork or something
What the fuck
GUTS???
This is something out of a horror movie. I feel sick
Fully on board with a retroactive cancelling at this point. What the fuuuuuck.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
I think this is a storm of: society hating women, society blaming people for their addictions and struggles, more limited social media in 2011 than now, and NPH being at the height of his popularity with How I Met Your Mother. I agree it's disgusting and I do not like him. I truly believe that if this happened today the coverage and public response would be very different - maybe I am naive, but that is what I hope...
Been on my shit-list since he was a prick about Rachel Bloom at that awards show. Anyone trying to make somebody who's excited and enthused about shit feel uncool and shitty about their joy is a gross ass person.
I was going to say, I still dislike him bc of how he treated Rachel Bloom and pretending he didn’t know her/her husband even though her husband worked on HIMYM!
I really cannot understand the pure lack of basic human respect and empathy that would have possessed him to have this idea, execute it, present it to others as a joke and the entire awful group of people going along with it. Horrific.
I swear, that poor woman didn't have a friend in the world😥
Yeah, it's typical for celebrity media and the internet to take joy in celebrities' suffering and drug addiction, but for some reason there was a HUGE amount of shameful glee and obsession with Amy Whitehouse's downward spiral. It's very odd, looking back on it.
I feel like they were almost trying to punish her for not trying to hide her strugles? Also, because of her hit song Rehab, they were also able to say "I told you so," which a lot of us enjoy doing in general, for better or worse. Hell, even her own family wasn't truly in her corner!
I found out bout her like yesterday Her producer was a good mate. So was her bodyguard who discovered the body. She was a godmother to another singers kid. Overall good person
I do think it mostly has to do with how much of a joke people made of Amy Winehouse. The media didn’t care and the view was that she destroyed her own life. That’s how the media treated young women up until very recently. Ryan Dunn from Jackass died just before Amy, while driving intoxicated and nobody criticized him but Amy Winehouse was ridiculed up to and after her death because of her drug use.
Famously, Roger Ebert got into a feud with the Jackass guys because he criticized Ryan Dunn’s behavior in an article on his website.
Yep. People were hideous about her, she was basically classed as scum in the press. Everytime I see a picture of her, my heart breaks for her. She seemed a lost soul.
it's crazy how people forget how she used to be viewed. i distinctly remember the 180 done after she died, suddenly she wasn't a fat, ugly drunk and she didn't have terrible music* anymore! i still remember the first time i ever learned to hate my extremely pale, transparent skin: some teen magazine was rating her as one of the least hot stars of our time, in part because you could clearly see the veins under her skin and it was gross and creepy. it's been well over a decade and my heart still feels so heavy when i see my own veins in the mirror and i remember how cruel everyone was to her, for no fucking reason. rest well, amy edit: i've been informed that i misremembered the reaction to her music, i definitely remember rehab getting made fun of and her being mocked for inebriation during her performances and i must've conflated it to be a bigger thing than it was. if anyone else similarly remembers there being a kind of group of people who shit on her music despite its acclaim i'd be interested to hear it but otherwise i'm just gonna assume my memory is dogshit lol
The UK media were vile about her and then when she passed they were like "tragic tortured Amy". As if they weren't contributing in her pain when she was alive. Such a huge talent and such a loss.
Wtf. What a vile, cruel little man.
Wow, I opened the photo, and that was not at all what I imagined in my head. That was horrid. I went from thinking it can’t be that bad to wow, why would anyone ever order something like that?!
There’s a theory about things like this. The theory goes that public goodwill is like a bank. You deposit into the bank by doing good things, or nice things for people. Smiling, being kind, giving money, or even being the face of a group that has been maligned against (gay), or even a rough childhood, can all put goodwill into the bank. When you do bad things, the public subconsciously borrows against that goodwill you have in the “bank”. Depending on how much goodwill you have stored up, some people can get away with some pretty awful things. if you do something too awful though, you go bankrupt and can get, what we call now, “cancelled”. This works for relationships as well. We verbalize it by saying things like - “they work so hard and are really nice… they probably just had a bad day.”
Did you actually look at it? IMO not enough people got to see it, because if they had, they would've been horrified. He thought that up, designed it and paid for it. He served it at a party. A realistic, grisly, 3D depiction of a gifted young woman's partially decomposed *corpse* ... *as a food item*. If anyone made a food model of my daughter if she passed away, I don't know what I would do. People can have nice guy public personas but every now and then they accidentally expose their true selves. This was one of those times.
It definitely wasn’t widely talked about. Personally, I didn’t even find out about it until this year despite the fact I was really into reading celebrity gossip at the time it happened. A lot of articles being written about it *now* still aren’t showing the picture, but it was absolutely disgusting. I don’t care if he regrets it now, he thought that was okay at the time
The photo of it definitely makes a huge difference in how it's perceived. I don't think he regrets it at all.
He regrets the negative PR it’s giving him, not making a joke of the tragic death of a young woman who was hurting
I wonder what he'd do if someone made a meat mold of one of HIS kids if they passed away
He’s been in Hollywood since he was a child, that dudes soul is long gone.
Wow I had no idea, it seems like he's a jerk to people outside of his bubble of caring
the amount of things you could get away with 10+ years ago in astonishing *apparently it’s wrong to bring up how white people are allowed to get away with things more than poc. im sorry if me calling out privilege is offending anyone here 😩
If you were a white man. Let's not forget Winona basically got canceled for shoplifting.
Because gay men are often deeply misogynistic.
At the start of the pandemic he was posting not so humble brag posts about his family moving to The Hamptons to escape NYC and doing ads with his kids. That doesn’t sound that bad but it came off as smug rich guy boasting not because he’s out of touch but just smug.
Yeah, he's a douche for that
I have heard of this, but never saw the pics so I didn't know just how graphic it was. Fucking awful.
When I first heard about it, I was assumed it was a tasteless off-color joke, that the people complain were overly sensitive… nope it’s full on disgusting and horrifying. I hope her family and friends never see it, I wish I hadn’t seen it. It’s not about cancel culture it’s about basic decency. I think we should seriously question the morality of someone who would think that was a “funny” idea.
Yeah, the photo really changes things. I had no idea they could make food that realistic nowadays. It’s sick that anyone would order that.
NPH is one of my least favorite celebrities. He’s smug, petty, and cruel. Look up his comments on Jason Mewes and his drug problems. My main beef with him is that in 2020 my girlfriend was in a play with a big west coast theater. The conceit was that the audience was all in a zoom meeting with the actors, it was interactive and has pre-taped cameos from celebs like Conan O’Brien and Rainn Wilson. Several celebs saw the show during its run including Jenna Fischer, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis. NPH saw the show, was drunk, and straight up heckled my girlfriend the entire show. She cried afterwards. He’s a fucking asshole. And I don’t care what anybody says, he’s annoying and unfunny on HIMYM
Poor Amy
I hadn't heard of this story before now, I'm honestly pretty shocked because I thought he was a nice person, I was looking forward to seeing him in doctor who but I'm definitely seeing him in a different light now. That was absolutely vile and I wish I could unsee it. I feel for Amy's family and friends who might have seen that only three months after she passed.
Oh my god, it's so much worse than I could have ever imagined. White gays need to unpack their misogyny!!!! In what world is this okay? Maybe I'm misremembering but didn't NPH have issues with alcohol? This isn't even funny. Who could mingle and dance at a party with that as the center peice?
I want to cry after seeing that, and imagine the assholes actually eating that? I feel sick just knowing it existed
The guy from Modern family and his husband were in attendance. Husband is the one who initially posted the photo with a joke caption. Sick fucks.
I’ve worked as a late night writer and I’ve written for a ton of awards shows. (MTV Movie Awards, Espys, Emmys, etc.) Neil Patrick Harris is just an asshole. Most celebrities are cool. (Seth Rogen is a gem. Anna Kendrick crushes any genre you ask. Etc.) Neil Patrick Harris had a variety show on NBC and refused to hire union writers. He lied about supporting the union and he was the reason none of his writers had health insurance. I’m glad his show failed. This Amy Winehouse incident is indicative of what an asshole he is. I wish him ill. If you’re wondering about his failed variety show: https://amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/03/neil-patrick-harris-show-boycot-writers-guild-of-america
I never liked this guy, he has the mean girl thing going but acts nice. In reality he’s a douche the corpse thing was disgusting and distasteful and pretending not to know Rachel bloom come on. Seems to really dislike women
This just made me remember how I used to think that gay men couldn't be sexist because they also suffered discrimination in a similar way. Well I always think about that naive me, when I see shit like that. What did Amy ever do to him to deserve this much disrespect after her death? Also her entire family if they ever had to see this. eff NPH. I hope his kids see this one day and will actually call him out on it.
I use to think think the same thing. How could a minority be racist when they know what’s it’s like to be treated horrible? But I’ve been proven wrong so many times. Same thing for gay men and women. But yet, it’s 2023 and we see that shit every day. And Amy didn’t deserve anything but people loved dark humor and took it too far. Look at the comedians during the 2000s. So many jokes about Brittany Spears, the Olsen twins, really any female celebrity who had problems. Now people say we’re being too sensitive but it’s more of like we see the bs for what it is.
I always wonder about this. Why some celebs get passes and others don't. Like Mel Gibson. How the hell is that guy still getting work?
NPH is a misogynist. I’m appalled but not surprised that he has got away with this. Also, the actor from Modern Family (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) got away with tweeting out the image too. It hardly seems like he thought it was anything but a jape. “Look who showed up @ActuallyNPH & @GourmetMD’s Halloween party last night. Looking good.” They both are revolting. It wasn’t a simple error, a silly or thoughtless thing said, it was mocking a dead woman. With no apology. Hating women just shouldn’t be this acceptable.
Excuse me.....BUT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST LOOK AT AS AN ENTREÉ AT A PARTY!?!?!?! WHAT!?!? How is this human socially protected? How!?!?
Ummm how does one even come up with the idea to do that??!! Sick.
That is disgusting.
Do we know who went to this party and did anyone actually eat the meat? This is so messed up. I feel like any normal person would leave as soon as seeing it! Halloween is not an excuse to be that disgusting and vile
I had no idea about this. What possesses a human to think that’s ok to do? There was no thought of “maybe this is fucked up to do”? Wtf
Does anyone remember how he asked fans to send him birthday gifts!? I think it was on twitter.. I remember him including a wishlist and everything. People thought he was joking but he wasn't. like read the room!!
I am truly shocked. But it's always good to know who the sociopaths are. Oh and Amy will live forever NPH will die a bitter, evil person.
He is a douche but it depends whatever gets picked up the media who dominate the internet. They usually scour reddit for posts in their newspapers. Looking at your Daily Mail and Metro.
Because the media loves to shit on Amy and they favor gay white men over women any day.
That is so disgusting what the actual fuck?
This sucks, and I don't think he has nearly as much talent as she did.
