Simply put, yes, the Ashton Kutcher Popchips ad was racist and offensive and deserved to be taken down . That’s the general message sent in the following video by Hasan Minhaj, an Indian comedian who says in the missive to Kutcher in the missive: “You have a sh-tty accent and you’re not even being racist correctly. Okay, look. Maybe Popchips didn’t consciously want to offend minorities. But subconsciously they knew they could get away with clowning Indians and Asians. Because that’s the way it is now. They wouldn’t do that with any other ethnicity.” While making some funny jokes, Minhaj goes on to make some solid points, saying examples such as this paint Indians “in a little box.” Watch and react now: Hasan Minhaj Slams Ashton Kutcher, Popchips
The lawyer for the two masseurs suing John Travolta for sexual assault claims others have come forward with similar stories and will join the lawsuit. Okorie Okorocha, who reps John Travolta accuser (John Doe) #1 and #2, says he’s keeping their identities secret because they’re victims of sex crimes. He also says he fears backlash against the men from the powerful actor. Okorocha claims he tried settling the first sexual battery lawsuit involving John Doe #1 discretely, telling Travolta’s lawyers they could go through a private judge and keep everything completely confidential, only to be rebuffed. Okorocha also says Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, is off base when he says the movie legend was not in L.A. January 16, as he vehemently insists. That’s date the first incident allegedly occurred, and Okorocha says during their initial discussions, Travolta’s lawyers conceded the actor was in L.A. The second alleged victim came forward days with a similar account of Travolta paying for a massage, then propositioning him/groping his genitals. It’s unclear how many other men may join the salacious lawsuit, if any, but the first two John Does are seeking $2 million in damages … apiece. [Photo: WENN.com]
‘This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication,’ a rep for Travolta tells People. By Kara Warner John Travolta Photo: Jesse Grant/ WireImage An anonymous plaintiff has filed a $2 million lawsuit against John Travolta, alleging that the “Old Dogs” star assaulted and sexually harassed him after he was hired to massage the actor. Unsurprisingly, a rep for Travolta has shot down the allegations via a statement issued to People magazine , in which the rep strongly denied all claims made by the anonymous man, known only as John Doe via his court filing. “This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication,” Travolta’s rep said. “None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie. It is for that reason that the plaintiff hasn’t been identified with a name even though it is required to do so. “On the date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast,” the statement continued. “[The] plaintiff’s attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and plaintiff for malicious prosecution.” The plaintiff’s lengthy 14-page suit, which was filed Friday in California’s U.S. District Court, charges 58-year-old Travolta with assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that among other salacious activities, Travolta exposed himself and groped the masseur despite protests during a massage performed in Los Angeles in January 2011.
