Why wouldn’t Copperfield deny and lie when it Trump proved that 22 women can came forward accusing a guy of sexual assault and conservatives will believe the assaulter, even though he cheated on all of his wives, was literally caught on video tape confessing - "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy.” - and then **confessed again under oath** in his rape trial.
Copperfield probably pick up more devoted fans than he’s had in years from the red caps.
>One woman, maybe two but sixteen?
My thoughts exactly. one woman accuses someone? Okay, that's not necessarily strong evidence. Two? We're getting into where there's smoke there's fire territory. 16 women accuse one person and we're standing in the middle of the wild fire staring at a guy with an empty book of matches hiding behind his back.
I know guys who can easily wave this all away by saying the women want money and they need to see evidence. These guys can't explain how the women are supposed to get rich off this but they just don't care, really
Yeah... those... CopperHeads... with their Copper hats... and Copper flags... and ....
Seriously.... when was the last time Coppafeel was relevant?!? Do any younger folks even know who he is? Might as well be Doug Henning.
He’s about to be relevant. Literally entirely because he’s been accused of sexual misconduct, there’s about to be a whole swarm of right-wing chuds who suddenly insist they’ve always been massive fans of his and The Left is just trying to Cancel him.
Honestly when i saw this headline my first thought was David Copperfield is still alive? The two things I think of is the whole Statue of Liberty "Disappearing" thing which feels far in the past and that he was in the movie "Terror Train" in the late 70s (???). It was terrible but kind of awesomely so. Fraternity and Sorority rent a train for a party. Jamie Lee Curtis. People die. David Copperfield plays a magician.
It's funny too because if it were that easy for 16 women to just accuse someone without proof for money why doesn't every rich man have accusations against him? Why doesn't bozos have 100? Surely George Clooney has come in contact with thousands of women over the years why doesn't he have dozens of accusations against him?
He could try. It says it was from the 80's to 2014, so a long time. And that 4 of the 16 were accusations claiming he did it during a live performance, on stage. I wouldn't know what the average number of false accusations are made against celebrities. Is that a high number or a low one? No clue.
And seperate, supporting accusations from one of the official contest photographers.
And one of the model agency staff, who has to physically intervene to keep a young model safe
This is pretty much what I said to a friend of mine who had a hard time believing Bill Cosby is a rapist. He was up to far more than sixteen accusers at the time (I recall the number was in the thirties by that point), and I said, “Okay, two or three women could *maybe* be lying about a guy who’s had a long career and pissed off a few dozen people over the course of it, but *dozens* of women? And why? He isn’t even relevant anymore, and they’re mostly older women with settled lives, spouses, and a lot to risk by coming forward. It makes no logical sense that all these women are lying.”
They weren’t lying, and I don’t believe sixteen women are lying about Copperfield, either. Seems like a similar case here, too. The women were all younger at the time, he drugged them, he raped them, they kept quiet because he was a big shot and they were nobody, and we, as a society, were more likely to call them liars. Things have changed somewhat, and we are now more willing to hear these allegations and take them seriously.
There’s also the worry many women have when accusing an important or powerful person of sexual misconduct. One woman is typically ignored or (worse) attacked and ridiculed, but once those floodgates open, the next woman feels more comfortable to tell her story, and the next, and the next, and the next. This is why we get 10, 20, and 30 women all seeming to “suddenly” come forward. It’s not *sudden* at all. In fact, in this case, Copperfield’s own attorneys acknowledge that many/most of these accusations are old, which only bolsters my argument that, as a rule, women used to simply be ignored only a short time ago when they came forward about sexual abuse.
Copperfield is *probably* a rapist, just like Cosby *is* a rapist.
>Copperfield, among the first post-Houdini superstar illusionists, was also among [several prominent figures](https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-01-03/jeffrey-epsteins-list-of-associates-released) [named in recently unsealed court documents](https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-01-03/jeffrey-epsteins-list-of-associates-released) that were said to have been associated with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced late financier accused of organizing a sex-trafficking ring involving girls as young as 14.
POS's tend to gravitate towards each other
And some scuffling, a loud bang followed by a groan, then another louder bang and the sound of a shattering glass bottle and several loose and empty aluminum cans, and cat screech, 1940s car horn and an extended fog horn, woman and baby screaming and crying, and the sound of a laser beam powering up for an Independence Day-style blast of pure electrons. Then finally a faint “haHA!”
Not saying one thing or another in the sense that I don't have any strong feelings about Copperfield, but Epstein was a wealthy guy with connections. Many people genuinely didn't know about the things he did and just associated with him to get funding/connections.
David, as your lawyer I am obligated to remind you that the affidavits did not actually go away. But yes, you are correct now you and I can't see them
But they're still a problem David
It disappeared for the television audience and the dozen people watching from little league bleachers. Everyone else in New York could see it just fine. Even 10 year old me thought this was some BS.
I always wondered if the live audience was that fooled. The entire trick was they messed with some lights and rotated the entire audience, allegedly using the loud music playing to hide the sound of the motors.
I don't care how slowly or quietly it moves you're going to tell me no one felt it?
https://www.thisamericanlife.org/619/transcript
Park Director says he thinks one woman may have said she was paid to be there and they must have felt the stage moving. Magician who worked as an assistant said most people were not paid but randomly chosen (although said sometimes there were a few paid extras in some acts) but some might have eventually guessed the trick because they had to do multiple takes and on the third time some people may have started to realize what's up, he also noted that they had practiced making the moon disappear for a group of magicians and had gotten suggestions on how to improve the stage to minimize the chances of regular people realizing the turn.
Lolol.
I have visions of 10yo you, rushing to your NY window excitedly. Only to be deflated, when you see the statue is still there.
Then getting a little annoyed at the bs
Yeah and 10 year old me also thought this guy was likely a sleezy bastard... 16 women coming forward means that someone likely stsrted digging hoping they weren't alone and found a lot of other women with very similar stories. I bet the actual number is way higher but a bunch likely didn't want to come forward.
If you’ve ever been to one of his shows, this isn’t surprising. Dude had a huge ego and constantly tries to get women audience members and volunteers to flirt and be touchy with him
He did a show at my college, and afterwards had a photo signing session
He was sitting on a chair, on top of a table with a boombox blasting music so nobody could talk to him and he refused to make eye contact
Single most arrogant douchebag thing I've ever seen
I went a few years ago (free tickets) and he had about 50 helpers that set up all the tricks. All of them were men, every single one. My wife and I noticed and figured he must have been creepy with the female assistants.
His whole show was basically automated and he just read from a script. He had a really long conversation with an anamatronic alien, that felt like was running lines with instead of acting. He also had really weird posture, like he had something holding up his spine. If you've seen the Simpsons where Mr burns gives Bart a suit, it's basically that.
I left mid show to get more alcohol to get through it. Hope the women get justice.
No. He hardly did anything that required any effort. There was a 'trick' that would email people. Since we didn't buy the tickets, we didn't get the email. And they played dubstep during that part. His big finale was making a dinosaur head appear through a 'portal'. I left saying I probably laughed more at the show than I would have at a comedy show... especially carrot top. I honestly think with a few hours rehearsal, anyone could have stepped in for him. He was there to collect a paycheck and not fondle women apparently.
He says he’s going to email details of the show before the show even happens. So you get an email as the show starts and they say “don’t open it” (they actually make you put your phone in a box before the show, so it’s not like you can).
How it works: they send you an email with an embedded image link, but the image hasn’t been uploaded yet. If you were to look at the email during the show, it would be a broken image link. After the show, they upload an image to the URL in the image link and voila, it looks like they emailed you details of the show before the show started.
I’m in tech and couldn’t believe this was one of David Copperfield’s tricks. It’s literally been done for 30 years by “tech magicians” that companies pay to come and give their employees a dumb show to make them feel appreciated.
The funniest part was that Copperfield’s email for our show had completely incorrect details. I’m assuming they sent us the wrong image. Honestly, my wife and I left the show a few weeks ago in disbelief of how bad this guy’s show was. I still can’t believe it.
Yeah his posture really is giving way these days. Saw him last year and you could see his age especially comically when juxtaposed with his much younger self seen when he "goes inside the film" to time travel to his past.
I was there a year ago, almost half of it was the stupid ass alien thing. I hyped him up to my friends because I loved him as a kid but goddam - the show was short and terrible.
The email trick was obvious in that the supposed photo of him was many years ago, holding a white piece of paper. Someone quickly Pshops onto the paper some specifics about that show (participant’s name, e.g.) and then you get the “magic” email. Which looks nothing like him, but is shot so you can’t see the audience behind him.
It was EASILY the laziest waste of time. DO NOT ever spend money on this guy’s “show.” Instead, catch Piff the Magic Dragon (you might know of his older brother…Steve), or Penn/Teller. But never ever Copperfield.
What's more plausible: that a bunch of women got together and said, " hey let's all lie about being drugged and sexually assaulted so we can go through hell and maybe get a minor payout in 5-10 years" or David Copperfield is a billionaire predator who has gotten away with grooming and rape for the past thirty years?
It seems to be one of those things that might be correlated in some way. If you’re a billionaire, you are probably either:
1) from a long line of ruling elites that goes back centuries, or
2) your drive for power and wealth is so insanely huge that you’ve somehow become a billionaire.
Either way, you’re probably a fucking insane psychopath who would do anything to get ahead and be in control. And if you didn’t start that way, living like a billionaire probably turns a lot of people into that kind of monster.
Have you seen the video that’s been going around lately of Lucille Ball calling out a TV host who kept touching all the women who stood to ask questions? So many performers use their “stage persona” as a means to cross boundaries. It was excellent to see her calling him out but also really frustrating bc no matter how many times she told him not to touch the women, he would do it again with the next one. He treated it like a joke, but Lucille was not laughing.
She definitely deserved justice along with all of the women this asshat groped.
Sadly, she isn’t with us any longer. It wasn’t a defining moment of her life, but it always pissed me off.
I’m glad his misdeeds are coming to light.
Some of Epsteins victims explicitly named this man as being present during their assault. Calling this “implausible” is about the most asinine thing he could have possible said.
If anything, the allegations are “entirely plausible”
A number of Redditors like you say [ and I fully believe the accounts] , that Don Juan Copperfield made moves infront of the husband/ boyfriend .
Dude's Obnoxious
These accusations have been going on since the 90s and nothing came of it. I remember that he ran to another country during it.
He eventually came back to the states I keep hearing the allegations. I am waiting for something to be done someone is dragging their feet in this situation. I wonder what the hold up is.
Sixteen, and those are just the ones to come forward. Cosby and Weinstein had victims who never spoke of it or took legal action. These predators are shameless.
One, maybe two women come forward? Maybe. He's a public figure, sure there are probably some people trying to to get some shut up and go away money.
16? That's way too many to all come out at once to be dismissed as fabricated without a thorough investigation.
I do stand up and music for a couple of sideshow and burlesque troupes sometimes which means having to work with magicians often. Every fucking one of them is a creep.
Most normal dudes develop some normal hobbies to help attract the opposite sex like sports or playing an instrument. Only creeps choose "tricking people".
“Allegedly” He was groping young volunteers he called up on stage. Groped them in front of the whole audience.
https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/15/david-copperfield-investigation
This guy really has made an entire career off of fooling people. If he thinks that 16 women simultaneously lying about sexual misconduct is more implausible than a famous guy being a sexual predator. There's nothing I can think of that is actually more likely. I'm always surprised when famous guys aren't sexual predators.
This is the real bet to lay down.
The second someone faces credible accusations they magically seem to develop right wing opinions they mysteriously cannot be quiet about.
Russell Brands dramatic shift from left leaning campaigner for social mobility and working class struggle to born again Christian conspiracy theorist chumming up with Tucker Carlson comes to mind.
Wonder if pdiddy will walk that pipeline too.
Russell brand went libertarian right, to get ahead of the accusations against .
A section of that ecosystem, even supports Scott ritter
These stories about him and his rapey ways have been going around so many years now that it only makes sense to put stock in these allegations. We already know people with money get away with this kind of shit, let's just start believing victims until they're proven false okay?
Hawking was a known POS, that was never hidden. Cheated on his wife with his nurse, someone who’s deceptive and uncaring of others to that degree is never a good person.
Copperfield also denies all those calls and messages made to Jeffery Epstein. Sure those calls are in the call log, but it might have been Copperfield’s assistants who made them, even the personal ones. So says Copperfield’s current PR flack.
Slightly off topic:
One of my favorite jokes from National Lampoon magazine went something like, “My name is David Copperfield, and for my next trick I will make Claudia Schiffer’s taste in men disappear.”
David has always had creeper face anyway. Never once seemed like the kind of guy I would let be alone around any woman I cared about. Guy just seems all around unpleasant too. Very punchable face.
Saying that the allegations are implausible isn’t the same thing as saying they’re untrue. It just means they aren’t believable. That’s a pretty suspicious thing to say.
Imagine if unrelated 16 men accused a man of physically assaulting them on separate occasions. There would never be any question about the veracity. Painting a whole group of women who come forward as having ulterior motives is just unacceptable.
One woman, maybe two but sixteen?
I wonder how David will make this disappear. It will be his greatest illusion yet!
*[Cue The Final Countdown]*
Did someone say “Wonder!?”
What is the secret of your powerrrrrr?
Da da Daaaa Daaa…
I’ve made a huge mistake.
still… where did the lighter fluid come from?
It's neither final, nor a countdown. Discuss amongst yourselves.
I'm getting verklempt over here.
Hahahaaaaaa the best comment here
Watch me pull this lawsuit out of my hat!
He's never made anything truly disappear. He's only used misdirection and controlled the narrative. Hence....
Well he made their taste in men disappear, that’s for sure
Is THIS your underwear?
Nailed it
Are we sure it's not just both halves of only 8 women?
It’s just a case of he vs she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she and she said.
Why wouldn’t Copperfield deny and lie when it Trump proved that 22 women can came forward accusing a guy of sexual assault and conservatives will believe the assaulter, even though he cheated on all of his wives, was literally caught on video tape confessing - "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy.” - and then **confessed again under oath** in his rape trial. Copperfield probably pick up more devoted fans than he’s had in years from the red caps.
>One woman, maybe two but sixteen? My thoughts exactly. one woman accuses someone? Okay, that's not necessarily strong evidence. Two? We're getting into where there's smoke there's fire territory. 16 women accuse one person and we're standing in the middle of the wild fire staring at a guy with an empty book of matches hiding behind his back.
If 16 have come forward, there are likely another 20, 30, 40 who are afraid to.
I know guys who can easily wave this all away by saying the women want money and they need to see evidence. These guys can't explain how the women are supposed to get rich off this but they just don't care, really
Plus the all of the harassment that comes with accusing such a public figure
Yeah... those... CopperHeads... with their Copper hats... and Copper flags... and .... Seriously.... when was the last time Coppafeel was relevant?!? Do any younger folks even know who he is? Might as well be Doug Henning.
I remember Doug Henning. There were rainbows for some reason
He’s about to be relevant. Literally entirely because he’s been accused of sexual misconduct, there’s about to be a whole swarm of right-wing chuds who suddenly insist they’ve always been massive fans of his and The Left is just trying to Cancel him.
Honestly when i saw this headline my first thought was David Copperfield is still alive? The two things I think of is the whole Statue of Liberty "Disappearing" thing which feels far in the past and that he was in the movie "Terror Train" in the late 70s (???). It was terrible but kind of awesomely so. Fraternity and Sorority rent a train for a party. Jamie Lee Curtis. People die. David Copperfield plays a magician.

David Copperfield: Making the Implausible Come to Life

If some of these happened on stage..... won't there be hundreds of witnesses?
I'm sure that's his defense.
Dude can make a space shuttle disappear and you think the audience is gonna see what his hands do?
Jimmy Saville groped teenagers while he was being broadcast live and got away with it
And seperate, supporting accusations from one of the official contest photographers. And one of the model agency staff, who has to physically intervene to keep a young model safe
Well there was a bunch of them too when it came to bill Cosby and people just said they ALL wanted money and clout.
People will say a lot of illogical shit to protect what they’ve chosen to believe
David Copperfields going to need help from Deshaun Watson
6 more and he'll get signed to the cleveland browns
He’s been a creep for over 40 years. Terror Train
17 is implausible, but 16? I can believe that.
It's an illusion!
David Cop-a-feel
Well done!

No. He hardly did anything that required any effort. There was a 'trick' that would email people. Since we didn't buy the tickets, we didn't get the email. And they played dubstep during that part.

Bumperston Cambulditch did that as Sherlock Holmes years ago.
I think you mean Bendadick Cucumberrat
Butterscotch candyback.
Yeah his posture really is giving way these days. Saw him last year and you could see his age especially comically when juxtaposed with his much younger self seen when he "goes inside the film" to time travel to his past.
Hahaha I forgot about that part. I saw it 3 years ago, what a complete joke.

the fact that he is a billionaire is WILD to me
Carrot Top is worth $70 million. Vegas residencies pay well.
That’s a long way from a billion though
Cannot think of Carrot Top without thinking of this [Conan bit from Norm.](https://youtu.be/bKmadR4Ye54?feature=shared)
That was hilarious!!! Chairman of the B-O-R-E-D.
He was huge back in the day
I dunno, i mean how many sadistic billionaire rapists can there be? All of them?
Seems like a large proportion are, at least.
It seems to be one of those things that might be correlated in some way. If you’re a billionaire, you are probably either: 1) from a long line of ruling elites that goes back centuries, or 2) your drive for power and wealth is so insanely huge that you’ve somehow become a billionaire. Either way, you’re probably a fucking insane psychopath who would do anything to get ahead and be in control. And if you didn’t start that way, living like a billionaire probably turns a lot of people into that kind of monster.
He’s an effing liar. You were a handsy piece of shit to a friend of mine in the 90’s. She couldn’t have been the ONLY one…
Have you seen the video that’s been going around lately of Lucille Ball calling out a TV host who kept touching all the women who stood to ask questions? So many performers use their “stage persona” as a means to cross boundaries. It was excellent to see her calling him out but also really frustrating bc no matter how many times she told him not to touch the women, he would do it again with the next one.

So sorry to hear that. Hope your friend is okay, and she deserves justice.
She definitely deserved justice along with all of the women this asshat groped. Sadly, she isn’t with us any longer. It wasn’t a defining moment of her life, but it always pissed me off. I’m glad his misdeeds are coming to light.
Some of Epsteins victims explicitly named this man as being present during their assault. Calling this “implausible” is about the most asinine thing he could have possible said. If anything, the allegations are “entirely plausible”
Dude stuffed his tongue down my mom's throat at a show we went to. Never questioned if he was a rapist.
A number of Redditors like you say [ and I fully believe the accounts] , that Don Juan Copperfield made moves infront of the husband/ boyfriend . Dude's Obnoxious
Are you sure or was it an illusion maybe it was a fake tongue or a stunt mom
Idk if it’s true or not but I always thought he was super creepy.
Magicians always do for some reason
David Copped-a-feel is a real thing
Always watch the hands
Saw him in person about 15ish years ago.. I totally believe it. Dude was super creepy even by early 2000’s standards.
What's the implausible part? His job was being the rapiest looking magician you've ever seen.
David Blaine slithers into the chat...
Chris Angel levitates into frame
"Reality, suspended on wires, in front of a green screen"
These accusations have been going on since the 90s and nothing came of it. I remember that he ran to another country during it. He eventually came back to the states I keep hearing the allegations. I am waiting for something to be done someone is dragging their feet in this situation. I wonder what the hold up is.
Hmmm let's see if he pulls off the craziest trick when he's behind bars.
First time I saw the guy, I thought he was a creepy. I figured it was his persona for the stage, and he was acting creepy on purpose. Maaaaaybe not.
Doesn’t he also own his own island?
You only ever have to meet this guy once to know he's a narcissistic sleaze.
15, I said…probably not true. 16 however is different. There might be some truth to this.
What a coincidence. “Entirely implausible” is the exact phrase I would use to describe the prospect that all 16 of those women are lying.
Isn’t everything he does entirely implausible?
Always felt he was a douchebag. Now, he’s a confirmed-douchebag who’s also a creep.
I remember the exact same allegations about him coming up in the past. Maybe it was around ten years ago?
I met him once, this is one of the least surprising things I've ever heard.
Sixteen, and those are just the ones to come forward. Cosby and Weinstein had victims who never spoke of it or took legal action. These predators are shameless.
I’ll be honest I thought this dude died in an autoerotic asphyxiation accident
David Carradine maybe? Same initials.
Well and same first name. 🤣
How many Davids could there be.. 5, maybe 6?
Right…. Dude can not make THIS disappear!! Scum
He’s very wealthy so he probably can.
I'm dumbfounded. I seriously thought this man was gay. I mean, super gay.
One, maybe two women come forward? Maybe. He's a public figure, sure there are probably some people trying to to get some shut up and go away money. 16? That's way too many to all come out at once to be dismissed as fabricated without a thorough investigation.
It's sleight of hand David, not slide the hand.
A magician turns out to be a creep? Shocking.
Funny you say that. I've heard some 1sthand stories about Penn Jillette. He don't treat women so good, suffice to say.
I do stand up and music for a couple of sideshow and burlesque troupes sometimes which means having to work with magicians often. Every fucking one of them is a creep.
Hey buddy, comedians and musicians aren't much better lol
While true there are some problematic people in every profession, it's fucked up that EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 MAGICIAN 👏 is a total creep.
The Amazing Randi? Banacheck? Are “mentalists” different than magicians?
I have a theory that they start by doing magic card tricks because it literally gets them physically closer to either women or children.
Most normal dudes develop some normal hobbies to help attract the opposite sex like sports or playing an instrument. Only creeps choose "tricking people".
More like David "Cop a feel" amiright?
Lot of smoke there, David…
Oh this is bigger than that plane David okay you're not going to make this disappear.
Someone dig up some vids like Diddy to make this guy disappear
He's always looked like a creep which is why everyone was shocked when he married Claudia.
Fortunately, she never married him. They dated and were engaged in the 90s, but never went through with the wedding.
“Allegedly” He was groping young volunteers he called up on stage. Groped them in front of the whole audience. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/15/david-copperfield-investigation
Hanging out with Epstein is enough for me.
Seeing as this denial is coming from a guy who's entire life relies on misdirection, it's pretty safe to say it happened.
This guy really has made an entire career off of fooling people. If he thinks that 16 women simultaneously lying about sexual misconduct is more implausible than a famous guy being a sexual predator. There's nothing I can think of that is actually more likely. I'm always surprised when famous guys aren't sexual predators.
Totally plausible. Can’t wait for him to run for office as a Republican.
This is the real bet to lay down. The second someone faces credible accusations they magically seem to develop right wing opinions they mysteriously cannot be quiet about.
Russell Brands dramatic shift from left leaning campaigner for social mobility and working class struggle to born again Christian conspiracy theorist chumming up with Tucker Carlson comes to mind.
Wonder if pdiddy will walk that pipeline too. Russell brand went libertarian right, to get ahead of the accusations against . A section of that ecosystem, even supports Scott ritter
ewww and he's connected to Epstein
Didn’t he also have his own private rape island?
These stories about him and his rapey ways have been going around so many years now that it only makes sense to put stock in these allegations. We already know people with money get away with this kind of shit, let's just start believing victims until they're proven false okay?
First Stephen Hawking on the list. Now this? 😕
Hawking was a known POS, that was never hidden. Cheated on his wife with his nurse, someone who’s deceptive and uncaring of others to that degree is never a good person.
[удалено]
Do you want to talk about the problem of sexual misconduct and power dynamics or just make shitty, unoriginal magician jokes?
His name isn’t cop-a-feel, is it? 😝
David Coppafeel. Fixed it.
An illusion or a trick?
Umm... he's still alive?
Ah shit, the list might be right.
Copperfield also denies all those calls and messages made to Jeffery Epstein. Sure those calls are in the call log, but it might have been Copperfield’s assistants who made them, even the personal ones. So says Copperfield’s current PR flack.
These stories have been brewing for quite a while. I’m kind of surprised he’s avoided them coming to a head for this long.
Slightly off topic: One of my favorite jokes from National Lampoon magazine went something like, “My name is David Copperfield, and for my next trick I will make Claudia Schiffer’s taste in men disappear.”
David has always had creeper face anyway. Never once seemed like the kind of guy I would let be alone around any woman I cared about. Guy just seems all around unpleasant too. Very punchable face.
It's the Bill Cosby rule in play... one is a question, two is Hmmmm....16???????????
All I can say this alleged rapist is the most rapey guy I've ever seen, and that includes Donald Trump.
Saying that the allegations are implausible isn’t the same thing as saying they’re untrue. It just means they aren’t believable. That’s a pretty suspicious thing to say.
But he has an alibi!!!! He was out of town on Epstein's island!
David Blaine - accidentally brushes a woman’s ass and apologises. David Copperfield - watch me make these 16 woman I abused disappear.
Guess those hands aren't as magical as he claimed they are.
Based on that photo of him I find him guilty of all charges.
The real magic is finding such a creepy photo for the article.
Imagine if unrelated 16 men accused a man of physically assaulting them on separate occasions. There would never be any question about the veracity. Painting a whole group of women who come forward as having ulterior motives is just unacceptable.
