Comment on ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal
BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 1 year agoFor anyone who's not aware, some of the "other shit" is an extensive series of screenshots of texts where he's soliciting sexual interactions with teenage girls. Such excerpts include:
- “Why are you such jailbait? What’s wrong with you in that regard? You should just grow older you dumb b*ch.”
- "Is it cool being a jailbait?"
- “Does the FBI follow you around arresting all the men you sleep with?”
Just so we're clear that this isn't a "petty jealous ex" kind of situation.

I think in addition this, he was basically a shithead to every one he worked with, so everybody probably was excited for an excuse to fire him. Deserved or not.

I'd read this article which came out when he was originally kicked off the show:

It doesn't sound like he'll be missed

Yeah, that’s the article I read too. And nobody has come out to discredit the article, at least that I’ve noticed…
