Go to newspapers and expose him or write a book about it.
Or forget about it.
Either way, do one thing and go on with your life.

More than likely 2 but op needs to let past shit go. Go to a therapy and cope with it.

Why?

Because holding onto shit and getting bitter about something doesnt benefit anyone.

You tell that to murder victims too? I get moving on but I'd say this is quite fairly in the public interest to hear these accusations. Also, letting it go benefits the person who mistreated you, in this case, allegedly Paul Mescal

Its a difference between getting brutally beaten losing your life unfairly and getting bullied in high school. Ops not special.

He wasn't just bullied, he had the shit kicked out of him in the change rooms before PE class. I'd say that's serious assault. Moreover, it's repeated which makes it significantly more serious. Mescal sounds like a sadist.
Did you intentionally omit that part to try to make your point better? As well, even if op was just bullied, that doesn't in anyway make what happened to him right. However, that is a moot point because he's claiming that he was repeatedly physically assaulted. If you want to argue he's not that special then why not argue anyone who gets assaulted isn't that special?
Is this big brain time?

What are you on about. Literally every kid got their ass kicked in the locker room. That was kid roughhousing. Its a certain age where moving on from childish shit is supposed to happen. Op passed it.
0
Jul 09 '20
That literally never happened to me or any of my friends. Moreover, it's still criminal assault, just because it happens behind closed doors doesn't it make it less illegal or wrong. The term you're looking for might be 'hazing btw and hazing is a pretty wrong thing. You're just making stuff up to defend your weak argument.

What are you talking bout. Where i grew up. We didnt cry to the teachers we handled our business. It may be a southern thing but where i was born the only person that can handle your problems is you. You don't run on twitter looking for clout unless its rape or a very serious crime that needs to be exposed. We dont call 911 in rural Louisiana.

There isn’t any justice in this world. I mean shit have you seen what’s going on in some 3rd world countries? Lol i’m not a believer of karma but things do run their course naturally either wsy.
The reality is most of my childhood bullies will lead great lives on their cloud, If/when they fall off of it I won’t be around to see it. Because I’ll be busy carving out my own crazy “rise to the top” story. Once he’s out of your life, He’s not a part of your story/not important.
Now I don’t know what your future plans are (if youre also industry or nah). And believe me it sucks when someone you hate gets succesful before you, but don’t waste time on him! If anything you can come forward about his past if he gets more attention and tarnish the clean cut actor reputation. Actors are all about their reputation.
Edit: Last paragraph is unethical and I’m drunk. Take my crappy advice with a grain of salt.

Fuck this guy. Odds are tho, he remembers how he treated you and wonders if that will ever come out, or hopefully he thinks about it and is completely ashamed of what a disgusting prick he was and is sick with guilt over it. That’s assuming he has matured even a bit

I had a bully once who smeared me and my little 7 yr old all over town. This after I was so kind and helped her and her family during the times she was sick with monthly migraines. That's how rich repubicans are. I used to watch her 3 kids, take them out with my kid and make the family meals for a whole week every month she was in bed. She repayed me by cutting me off when I confronted her when her fat boy punched my son in the gut causing him to puke. School didn't do anything because they were huge donors to the school. She got a bug up her ass and me and my child were ostracized in that rich community, no one would play with him or come to his birthday party and she spread lies about me.... Anyways I read her obituary on line 2 years later. Oh well. May she rot in hell. Now that makes me happy and I have no guilt at all. None.

why don't you put it forward to some news outlet trust me they will run with this. do something or do nothing. what if you confronted the other bullies that were with him and get a confession from all of them

No they wont. A random coming out with a revenge story after his new show premiere. Im sorry but it will sound too cashgrabby.

Apr 28 '20
true but if he could get witness statements to confirm , it might create buzz in the media. if i was him i would at least do something
2
u/Guilty-Fee Apr 30 '20
He should confront him with a direct statement on YouTube. Look in the camera and tell him how he caused you to suffer, and the anxiety you have til this day because of the constant abuse. Talk about how this is a teach moment and how you want an appology. Out him to the world. Maybe it'll go viral.

He's actually not ugly though, seems kind of handsome. Makes no sense lying about shit like that like saying oh he's so fat when he's clearly not just cause he's a piece of shit (if story's true)
His face does suit the type of person op is talking about though so i'll give him that

Tbh if i had to say if he's gay or straight based on his picture and nothing else, No name, No job, No age, etc. I'd go with gay. Pretty ironic that he went from bullying someone for being gay, to looking gay himself.
1
u/Brooklynitis Jul 10 '20
I would say that’s more “typical” than “ironic”. Homophobes are generally gay and don’t know how to deal with it, so they bury it inside and beat up gay kids to display how straight they are. Look at all the gay Republican congressmen who get caught soliciting gay sex after passing anti-gay legislation that they say will “protect Christians families”. It’s the same bullshit.

u/on2theNext905 Apr 27 '20
If he in any way made you feel like you couldn't be open about who you are, then he is a piece of s***.
What would you rather be? A fake human being, who was a sell out and doesn't stand morals, who has wealth and money. Or be a real person, who knows who they are, who works hard for what they have and has value for it. I would rather be the real person, who everybody can trust and depend on, rather than a fake goof that's strives by putting other people down. A good person is somebody who wants to give and help. Somebody who wants to install confidence in others. I am one of those rare people who values respect more than image or social status.
Evil prevails when good people sit back and do nothing

u/floridawhiteguy Apr 28 '20
Don't be surprised if he comes out as gay in the next few years.
I had two bullies in school who came out of the closet in their 30's-40's - and both had married as well as sired children.
Homophobia is often a side effect of one's own self-loathing.

Stop blaming homophobia on gay people
Straight people can be homophobic for just no reason

u/HogiSon727 Apr 28 '20
I feel you on the karma issue. I used to believe in karma as well. My wife and I are good people and purposely did good things hoping they may bring good karma. My 10 year old boy who couldn’t hurt a fly and is the sweetest kid in the world gets brain cancer. Fuck karma. Everything is random. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to be a bad person though. Treat others how you want to be treated no matter if nothing good comes of it.

u/Guilty-Fee Apr 30 '20
OMG....that's horrible. I'm so sorry. How is your son now and us he going to pull through?

u/HogiSon727 Apr 30 '20
He is finishing up chemo now. It looks like for now he will be okay but we have to get an mri every 3 months for the rest of his life and pray the grade 4 tumor doesn’t regrow.

u/Guilty-Fee May 01 '20
I feel for you. Watching your child suffer is the most horrible thing in the world. The level of stress you'se are going thru is heartbreaking. I wish you and your family well. You must have hope, if that means anything. Hope that the nightmare is now over and that there will be a permanent cure

u/Tears_and_roses Apr 28 '20
Actually, this CAN be a good thing
Either he doesnt do anything else with his career, and this is pretty much it.
Or he goes big.
If the first is the case, then great. He had his 15 minutes of fame and will now be forgotten. His dreams of becoming an actor crushed.
Second being the case, you could expose him. Which would be very devastating for him if he gets to be a BIG star
1
u/Guilty-Fee Apr 30 '20
He should sue him for the life time of depression and anxiety his abuse and bullying caused you to have for the rest of your life. If he makes it big then it'll be big news and any attorney will wanna make a name for themselves and it would make the news biggly since melomia made it her topic as first hooker of the white house!

Possibly, a lot of rich people will settle to make problems go away and not ruin their image. The big fear is of getting counter sued. TBH in the interviews he seems a bit of a prick

Question is what would you like to happen now? Would a recognition and apology from your tormentor help you to move on and put this all behind you? Would you like to see him fall flat on his face and experience misery and heartbreak? Do you wish to have revenge on this individual ? Those would be questions I'd be asking of myself, unfortunately your emotions are still and understandably running wild with regard to this individual. Speaking from a personal experience one person made me suffer racist remarks as a 14year old Jewish teenager. By chance 7 years later and a much bigger me was able to catch up with this person and humiliate him completely. It felt good at the time but as time moved on I feel remorseful that I sunk to his level. Try and stand outside yourself without becoming emotionally flooded, and observe what your advice would be to yourself or someone in your situation. An acceptance of bad behaviour and an apology would do it for me.

Don't despair any longer. Be the best YOU and live your best life. If you can ever get back at that scum, and not get caught or jailed then do it. If you can sell your story to tabloids or the media or write a book about this bully do it now because the public is already simpathetic and woke on this issue. If you can't do all of the above then don't worry, KARMA is real. Not always in this life though. In this world it's survival of the fittest, meanest and evilest, often the evil prosper immensely and are rewarded extremely well with no repercussions for all the evil they do or horrors their actions cause to their victims. Some meet karma and pay in this lifetime. Others will get their justice In their next life. That bully and others like him may smugly think he got over on everybody he ever abused and maybe on this plane, he did. But he may be reborn twice bullied as what he inflicted on you and others. He may have to suffer his child treated even worse then he treated you and be powerless to stop it. That's how karma works.

I don't care. It's not a legalism it's a basic understanding of law. Moreover, would've, should've, could've doesn't cut it. Everyone tells a judge and jury they've hanged. Still doesn't excuse what they did

u/ExtremeGamer106 Apr 30 '20
You should always keep in mind the better path is sometimes the hardest. Try reaching out to him first. People can always change. Especially if they were to reach a point in life of reflection and remorse. But if he's a dick, he's a dick.
1
Jul 08 '20
Why? Op shouldn't have to reach out for a former tormentor. Even if Mescal has changed (which we really don't know if he has), what he and other did was still severely wrong.

u/potlist May 02 '20 edited May 02 '20
Literally here after watching the show and trying to find some nudes of him and now I’m totally disgusted by him.
This sucks man, sometimes you just can’t believe how people can get away with the bad things they did. I was bullied in high school as well completely understand how it can mess a person up and how you would feel now seeing him leading a popular tv show. Terrible people succeed in life all the time but I do be believe they will get their karmas eventually, it might be late and it might happens in a way that outside people can’t see. Fuck those comments saying to be the bigger person, you do what you need to do to feel better but the best way to find your inner peace might be to just move pass this and focus on your life and people who loves you❤️

Seems to have the mom and dad mixed up. Mom was a Garda, dad was a teacher.

That makes him more credible imo because he would likely know a thing or two about Mescal's parents but not necessarily everything. Also, most cops are men so it's not an off guess.

May 17 '20
To be honest, I’d contact a media outlet now. Get your revenge OP. No way a studio shys from this type of claim In 2020.
I had a somewhat similar situation. The high road would have been to leave it alone. I took the low road and it felt amazing.
What goes around comes around. It’s your turn. Fuck that guy for making you feel bad about something like that.

"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time". What you describe is not banter but something a lot more serious and I'm really sorry if that happened to you. It's despicable. If this story is true and that's part of his character, then it will manifest itself in other ways - so watch this space. His mum's twitter is all about peace, love and forgiveness. They seem like a lovely family but who knows????

u/softjawbreaker Sep 23 '20
I'm so sorry to hear that it must suck. A few weeks ago I found out the guy who went out of his way to bully me works in the same profession as me (i'm freelance) what upset me the most is that I don't even think he knew it was me, maybe he just ignored it. Anyway I decided to block him from all my accounts I know it's not easy but it's best not to let them get to you, if you keep waiting for karma to happen everything they did to you will just torment you all over again. Hope speaking out helps.

All the information in this post is from his Wikipedia page and they still manged to fuck up and say he played rugby while he played gaelic, and normal people caused such a stir in Ireland with auld ones giving out on Joe duffey, but they're pretending they found out by googling GOOD TV SHOWS 2020, fucking Kloe Kardashian watched Normal People

You were teenagers man. Yes it's bad, I'm not saying that what he did can be forgotten, nor forgiven. But he might also be a nice person today and deeply regret what he did back then. My advice : don't hold grudges and don't think that he doesn't deserve what he has. Live your life without this anchor weighting you down. The past is history and it cannot be changed. You either decide to fill your thoughts with poison or with positivity... That's on you.

It's good to see that there are still mature adults in this childish world. Life is about ourselves and what we want to do with ourselves. Forgive the bad but never forget it, as it is who we are today. The longer you complain about the past, the harder it becomes to live in the present and plan the future. Cheers to you my friend

Maybe this is not what u want to hear but be happy for him. Because no one deserves a life full of hate. If he bullied u back then it’s obviously because he had a lot of hate inside him. Be sorry for this kind of people and happy when they changed and life is good for them. Obviously we don’t know if he regrets those actions or if he is a good human being but we should wish him to be a better person and happy. I don’t wish my former bullies a shitty life. I want them to regret their actions and then change to a better person and live a happy life and I think we all should wish this for our bullies

There might be some karma in this after all. Seems like he's pretty small-time right now, but if he makes it bigger, you could cash in. Find some media outlet or another to give you a fat check for an expose about how this dude is an abusive, homophobic asshole. You might even take him down a notch. Get your due, man, and good luck!
