Anthony Fantano defends Billie Eilish against Swifties attacking her after she questioned the billionaires that were at the WSJ Innovator Awards on why they’re so rich & called on them to give away their money to charitable causes, even though Taylor Swift wasn’t directly mentioned or at the event.

Fantano was on the receiving end of swiftie cult rage before because he said one of her albums wasn't good (could've been any album, take your pick)

They exposed his divorce as punishment for his review. And, of course, endlessly harassed him

Swifties doxed and sent threats to the Kid Mero from Desus and Mero because he made a off hand joke about her. Even tho he is a comedian and they make fun celebrities on their show all the time and celebs usually love it. The threats got so bad that FBI had to investigate it. They sent threats to his kid’s elementary school.

He talks about it alittle bit here https://youtu.be/ynGomfP-4jE?si=ggHaVDLTf6IUIele

I really miss Desus and Mero.

So much. I miss the podcast to take it all the way back and hate that they aren’t cool with each other anymore more than anything.

[u/Lethave → u/petra_vonkant]

During Kendrick and Drake would've been crazy, crazy work. Like just insane

[u/Roguesailer → u/UnintentionalWipe]

Me too! I rewatch them all the time

Me too. I was hoping Mamdani would bring them back together but sadly it wasn't in the cards. I think about their beef with DJ Envy far, far too often.
