12995418, name a celebrity whose shenanigans woulda broke the internet
Posted by BigJazz, Tue Mar-29-16 09:42 AM
had social media as we know it existed back when they were at the height of their relevancy.

i wonder how richard pryor woulda had timelines poppin in his heyday.

how would the teddy pendergrass accident have played out?

i'm thinkin the old school celebrities woulda caused alot more drama/entertainment/cringe-worthy media

Jack Johnson...

Given the heat he took w/o the internet or TV, imagine if there were pics and video of him living his life the way he did.

Portrait grainy-cam video of him playing basketball and serving pancakes would have been meme fuel for years.

Posted by MEAT, Tue Mar-29-16 10:42 AM
Men barely get any backlash for long. Chris Brown beat the brakes out of Rihanna and he got shit but not break the Internet shit.
Franco out here trying to hit up teenagers.
Howard got kiddies in his hotel rooms.
Wayne pressuring women out of abortion clinics.
Hulk Hogan on that klansmen
Yeezy working his hardest to be his wife.

And everyone is just yawning.

12995831, Michael Jordan's escapades...
Posted by Kira, Tue Mar-29-16 02:32 PM
He'd be enemy number one as word of his activities off the court reached social media.

Basketball fans would go out of their way to tear him down in the context of history framing it as "honest discourse".

He wouldn't been allowed to play baseball as a DA somewhere launched an investigation into his gambling...

IF he survives that he comes back to a team torn apart by media and vilified to an extreme by fans for their off the court shenangians.

Imagine how things play out if he winds up getting a divorce during his prime because his wife is embarrassed of all the cheating allegations going public.

That pristine image is torn to sheds quick as shit and sports personalities rip apart his legacy during his prime.
