When I first listened to his interview with Joe Rogan where he is bragging about having sex with the priest it sounded fake and made up. Typical shock jock BS. Rogan kept asking about it and then it sounded like he freaked out because he didn't want the father to get into trouble because it probably NEVER happened. So he is bragging about how he seduced this priest and acting like he conquered him even though he was younger and then suddenly when everything comes crashing down he SUDDENLY becomes the victim! Poor Yiannopoulos! NOW he is throwing the father under the bus! Now the story is how fucked up he is and after he was molested he got into drugs and his life went all to hell! Interesting how now that there isn't a book deal he doesn't give a FUCK about bringing down a priest who probably never did anything to him in the first place. He is nothing but a spoiled little brat, shock jock with zero morals. I don't believe ANYTHING he says!

(28,936 posts)He is suddenly talking about how damaged he was. Why the 360 degree swing of bragging about it to how it screwed him up after his life starts falling apart?

Maybe he can get a job working as an escort. model or porn star since he is still superficially attractive, but that won't last forever. AI have that vibe that after the ruckus settles the next thing we will read about him will be of a tragic nature.

(54 posts)Including convincing themselves that they wanted or enjoyed what happened to them, or that it didn't harm them. I guess because accepting that they were a victim makes them feeling weak, or they want to feel like they have some agency in their life.
I think it's quite possible that he was abused, and instead of seeing a therapist and dealing with his ****, he lashes out at innocent people to try to make the world just as miserable as he is.

He can still be a vile person who has done horrible things and said horrible things. That is still his responsibility and he should suffer the consequences of his actions regardless.
If he is lying about his abuse, then that will come out eventually and then he will have more consequences to deal with. Until then we should focus on what we know to be his actions. Really, that is enough at this point.

(28,936 posts)According to Newsweek, Priests commit no more abuse than other males. They are a punchline because of the cover-up in the church. http://www.newsweek.com/priests-commit-no-more-abuse-other-males-70625
Based on what he said on Maher's show I am guessing there was an older boy probably over 18 who he hit on when he was younger. He uses the Priest line for effect.
