It’s important to know that the clip talks about rape and sexual abuse, so readers should be careful what they read. This shows how powerful social media can be when it comes to holding public people accountable for what they do.
It also shows how important it is to promote a culture of respect and sensitivity towards sensitive issues, especially in the world of comedy, where offensive and troubling material has been accepted for a long time.
Bobby Lee hasn’t said anything about it yet, but the reaction on social media keeps getting worse. We don’t yet know how the comedian will react or if he will own up to what he said.
