'Beef' Star David Choe Faces Backlash Over 2014 'Rapey Behavior' Comments Resurfacing

‘Beef’ Star David Choe Under Fire for ‘Rapey Behavior’ Comments

Hey, hey, hey, it’s your favorite celebrity news expert, CelebDan! Today I’ve got some tea that’s hotter than the steam coming off my morning cup of joe. You may have heard of David Choe, the graffiti artist turned star of the hit web series ‘Beef’. Well, he’s found himself in some hot water after comments he made back in 2014 detailing his ‘rapey behavior’ resurfaced.

Now, before we dive in, I want to make it clear that sexual assault is never okay. It’s important that we hold people accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to such a sensitive and serious topic.

So, what exactly did David Choe say? In a podcast interview from 2014, Choe discussed a trip to Japan where he hired prostitutes and engaged in what he described as ‘rapey behavior’. He went on to say that he felt guilty about what he had done, but also seemed to downplay the severity of his actions.

Understandably, many people were outraged by Choe’s comments. Some have even called for him to be removed from ‘Beef’ and other projects he’s involved in. But, as always, there are those who are defending him and claiming that the comments were taken out of context.

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, it’s clear that David Choe’s comments have sparked an important conversation about sexual assault and the way we talk about it in our society. Here are my thoughts on the matter:

  • No one is immune to making mistakes. We’ve all done things we regret, and it’s important to acknowledge that and take responsibility for our actions.
  • That being said, sexual assault is not something that should ever be taken lightly or brushed off as ‘rapey behavior’.
  • It’s important to listen to survivors and take their experiences seriously. Too often, victims of sexual assault are not believed or are blamed for what happened to them.
  • If David Choe is truly remorseful for his actions, he should take steps to make amends and educate himself about consent and sexual assault prevention.

In the end, it’s up to each individual to decide how they feel about David Choe’s comments and whether or not they want to continue supporting him. But one thing is for sure – we need to have more open and honest conversations about sexual assault in our society if we want to see real change.
