The Daily Beast seems to think it’s tiresome of a woman to object to rapists on chat shows.
Jimmy Fallon may have a hard time booking actress Christina Ricci on his show anytime soon.
Well, that’s one way of putting it. The flippant, dismissive way. Another way would be to say actress Christina Ricci objects to Jimmy Fallon’s having a rapist on his show.
The former child star turned Emmy-nominated actress, 46, blasted the late-night host with a repost on Instagram on Monday, declaring he should be “ashamed” after he had Irish UFC fighter Conor McGregor, 37, on his show last week.
McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 after he was sued by former hairstylist Nikita Hand. The woman was awarded $285,000 in damages following an eight-day trial.
But the Daily Beast finds it appropriate to translate that to a joke about booking her on his show. Hur hur, women are so irritable about rape, aren’t they funny.
McGregor’s career has continued apace, with Fallon inviting him to The Tonight Show to promote his return to the UFC at UFC 329 on June 16. Ricci circulated a viral post slamming the host that reads, “Conor McGregor raped a woman so brutally that the EMT who saw her commented on the severity of her bruising. She also had to have the tampon she was using when he raped her surgically removed, as it had been shoved so far inside her. Why the ABSOLUTE F— is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon’s show?”
She wasn’t joking. Why is The Daily Beast joking?
