Omid Djalili on women's rights issues - not funny at all

Ooh. Interesting. Turns out that [insert your preferred noun here], sometime writer for the online sister of the Independent stuck h** oar in last night.

How much did that influence OD to go down the "Dr EM is anti-trans" road this morning?

I guess that if you're comedian and you've lost your audience then desperate measures might be called for.
But I'm far more interested in how Dr Em is

However, because his knee jerk reaction was to assume that the person correcting him was wrong, he quickly went beyond the point where he felt able to stop digging his hole.

At what point does this become targeted harassment? It's two days since Dr Em protected her account and he is continuing to tweet relentlessly about her?

The bizarre thing is he could have just said 'sorry, I didn't read the article properly, I was wrong to refer to the people in the article as Nazis, apologies' and that would have been it, finished.

This is all stemming from the fact that he didnt want to admit that he didn't read an article before tweeting it.

Ugh the whole thing is a disgrace. He seems utterly impervious to what he's done & how he comes across. Worst thing is that it prob won't affect his career or standing.

Hang on, did she actually call him a paedophile or is this just more shit slinging from him?

He's trying to make an analogy, namely that if you say something offensive and libellous to someone, and that person says they're going to sue you, you can't then back off and say "Poor me, I'm in a wheelchair".

The utterly bizarre thing about this is that Dr Em didn't accuse him of being a paedophile or a Nazi or anything at all - she just pointed out that he had called other people Nazis. Which he indisputably did. It's all there in black and white. If anyone has the right to sue, it's the woman he addressed as Eva Braun.

BarbaraofKent Yes, he appeared on SNL wearing a TShirt saying Protect Trans Kids, and was getting lots of love on Twitter. A mum asked him if he knew about ROGD and what he thinks protecting trans kids entails. A load of his followers basically called her a child abuser (you can imagine what they were saying) and he happily joined in and did nothing to stop the abuse.

Really changed my opinion of him, she was already suffering and this just made it worse.

Anyway, back to OD I think PP is right, his ego just won't let him back off now (even when she isn't responding). Embarrasing

Well, he's going to need to suck up to Eddie. I suspect he's completely burned his bridges with David Baddiel.

I didn't have any views positive or negative about him before yesterday, now I do.

He just seems to be digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole and in my mind his behaviour seems bullying.

If I was his agent, friend, partner etc, I would tell him to step away from the keyboard. I am not and a perverse part of me hopes he keeps on damaging his own reputation.

Having looked at previous tweets, he seems to have ties with Eddie Izzard. Unsurprising that he is coming across as anti women’s rights.

i bet he'll go full on TRA's now

all those anime avators stroking his ego- whats not to like?

Still at it, oh yes.

Duracell bunny. Look at how many mountains Mr I've-Been-Defamed has crossed in a single bound here.

Lol at "so brave" to stand up for trans people. What a reversal in that tweet

He comes across so badly.

I had absolutely no opinion of him before, but I massively dislike him now.

He must be slightly stupid to not realise how he is coming across.

He also have to be quite misogynistic to use his massive following to keep going after a disabled woman who has blocked him. It is not the right thing to do (regardless of what she said) and He just doesn’t seem to be a nice man.

I can live with nice men who are a bit thick, everyone cannot have insights. I can also have an embarrassing appreciation of very intelligent men, even if they are misogynistic and devoid of morals.

But the combination of misogynistic, devoid of morals and stupid is...🤮.

Image didn't post. Have redacted name of original tweeter for their privacy.

I hate when male celebrities do this to none famous women. I can remember a few years ago when Don Cheadle started a pile on of a ROGD mum, she received dog's abuse and he was so proud of himself. What a cock.

Don Cheadle? Say it isn't so

OD is displaying the typical male 'everyone is telling me I am wrong but I am RIGHT' arrogant tantrum.

Is he still at it?

Oh my gawd. He's got up and he's straight back on twitter. I was hoping he'd have a proper hangover and cool off. But no.

Anyone else see Omid's fist-bump last night?

Oh God, he is going to do the 'if I say trans rights I can be as misogynist as I like and still look progressive and compassionate, aces!' thing isn't he?

I suspect that the coping strategies stand up comedians develop to deal with hecklers can be a liability on twitter.
This! But OMG to his latest, complete with capital letters...

I suspect that OD is a person who can neither (1) accept that he is wrong and stop or (2) apologise when he's gone too far.

Thanks PotholeParadies I don't use Twitter any more so I've only seen whats on here.

What an absolute wanker.

So Dr. Em is ANTI TRANS???? This is going to be interesting. Thank you for sharing that
