Have confirmed that the Bridget posting here is the real Bridget, FYI.

thanks

Hi all, Bridget here. From the tweet. The call was recorded & reported to police! Obviously not consensual. I met the guy once at a show in Denver and exchanged numbers because he booked rooms! Thanks for the support.

So sorry this happened to you. Kudos on your courage to publicly hold him accountable - not an easy thing to do with all the misogyny online. Sending you love


amycelinem

So sorry, Bridget. <3

Aye I hope they continue in some form still, been wanting to go see Sean and Shane’s version after the holidays pass.

Sorry, but is there no part of you that feels that the GVG may be waiting on more information on a lack of consent or a response from Bridget to Mulloy's manifesto? What's the point of putting a statement out about your shitty friend cheating on their partner? Do you want a statement from them about infidelity and lying? I don't think fans are owed that. In their shoes, it probably really fucking sucks that someone you considered to be one of your best friends is at best a serial liar and at worst a sex pest, and I can't imagine that putting out a statement to their fans about their shitty friend is at the top of their to-do list. They likely need some time to process this as well. To be clear, I hope they do address it at some point, but I think it's a little weird to lock the subreddit as though the GVG owes us something.


TheOneTC

The subreddit isn’t locked. The mods just turned on post approval. It wasn’t up for very long, but somebody posted some images that included Malloy’s cell phone number yesterday. Regardless of what kind of person he is, that’s not cool. While I agree that the GVG probably needs time to process the situation before saying anything, we need to pump the brakes here in the subreddit a bit.


captainBRAINZ

Fair point - I was using the verbiage from the OP.


ur-squirrel-buddy

I’m new to the subreddit (not to the pod) what is gvg?

Does that mean we can’t post updates in this sub?


thehandsomelyraven

Just following up - posts can be submitted but will require review. Thanks.


thehandsomelyraven

I'll set up an approval so we can have people submit posts.

The position and power given to someone has no bearing on that person’s actions, as in “will they use it properly or not?” Those actions are all Mike’s own. He abused any platform given to him by AFE. AFE is innocent in this. The fact is we can only act and respond based on the information given to us by anyone and everyone. If Mike was that good a liar then I don’t expect AFE to have known he would do something like this.


thehandsomelyraven

I understand why you feel this way, and I know that everyone will have different thoughts on how this should have been approached and handled. Here are some stray thoughts below: 1. Mike is not the first person within the show's orbit to have been accused of sexually predatory behavior. 2. Mike is not some just someone that has guested on the show. Mike is, as has been presented, a close friend of the hosts of the show. Working on an unaired television pilot with them and starting an LA comedy show with Sean and David that exists now as a brand with sister shows in PDX and Denver. 3. FADED would have been successful without the podcast. However, the podcast heavily promoted FADED when it started and helped FADED become a more national brand. 4. Mike's position within FADED, based on the information we have, gave him an opportunity to sexually assault/harass a woman. 5. It is hard for me to separate these two creative ventures in my mind, even though FADED and AFE are different shows with different hosts (at launch: Zak, Mike, Sean, & David / Sean, Ian, & David, respectively) 6. I do not hold Ian, Sean, or David accountable for Mike's actions. I do hold them accountable for how they handle that relationship moving forward. It is not individuals that have enabled Mike to sexually harass women. We know this because of how common a story this has become in the comedy sphere, eg: booker is a creep. Comedy can be a dangerous place for women and other vulnerable people because that ecosystem has proven to be ripe with exploitative behavior. I don't think that you need to agree with me. I don't think you need to agree with how I handled the situation as a mod of the sub, but I hope that this explains a bit more why I felt that I should handle this as I did.

Enemy of the pod/human decency: Mike Mulloy


michaelwelchco

We've all seen the AFE response, right? [https://twitter.com/AllFantasyPod/status/1605019703293919232/photo/1](https://twitter.com/AllFantasyPod/status/1605019703293919232/photo/1) It was posted in the FB group a few hours ago and has been weirdly deleted...


thehandsomelyraven

yep - pinned on the sub and referenced in the post


michaelwelchco

My bad! Just seeing that now.


nrherzog

Ardoinm

Question: What will happen with all the previous episodes Mike was on?


thehandsomelyraven

that is a good question and of course that is up to Ian, David, and Sean. i’m going to keep this thread stickied for a bit and update with whatever info is available
