I just read this, with my mouth open. I do not know this person, but I really like the idea that Australia has taken a stand against misogyny like this!

There have been protests and letters to media outlets etc. All the venues started to cancel the bookings. News corp even said to remove their logo (if I recall reading it right).
We might take a stand against this bloke but we still have our misogynistic PM.

His tour is still going on, japan and America. Will be interesting to see if he comes here, what the response is...

America won't be far behind banning him, with the huge force behind this on social media.

A journalist in Japan has reported him to the authorities over a YouTube video from when he was last in Tokyo. It allegedly shows him grabbing random girl's heads while talking to them and pushing them into his groin.

His Twitter feed is an horrendous mix of puerile humour and instructions on how to rape women.

I was just reading about this creep earlier. Very glad to see some Aussie sense being exercised. What a twat.

Someone posted a hilarious link to an exchange Julien supposedly had with a woman on Tinder. No idea if it is real or not, but is very funny.

the old smoothie!

I am now googling the ridiculous person. This article from Jezebel made me smile.

Part of his pick up act has included a fictitious dead son ("Gaspard"). The photo of "Gaspard" is actually of Blanc as a child.

He really is a grade A c**t of the highest order.

There is a petition on change.org to against Julien Blanc:

Scum like this shouldn't be earning a living from their shitty lifestyles Angry

There's also one petitioning for some sort of free speech thing in favour of him. It has 800 signatures. 2 of them are his fictional dead son.
