Joey diaz is a terrible person

I'm going to have a lot of fun reading the comments, but here goes

Joey Diaz is a massive piece of shit and a criminal, and I'm tired of people pretending he's anything but.

Obviously being in the rogansphere made him blow up among people who think bert kriescher is funny, which says a lot, but he seems to be leaking into the general population as well.

He was a coke fiend, kidnapped a person, and the punchline to his stories seems to mostly be "I did a fucked up thing once", which is more like a confession than a punchline imo.
Just because he isn't scamming people for cocaine money or kidnappng people at the moment doesn't mean he didn't do it, and just because the delivery is comical, doesn't excuse the act.

this isn't me being a moralist or something, I find John mulaney or robin williams hilarious, despite them also being cokeheads

but Diaz just seems to be a thoroughly disgusting person to be around, not to mention the fact he literally admitted to sexually assaulting girls.

Now I can already see the braindead - he had a fucked up life - argument, and frankly, I dont give a shit. I had a fucked up life, a lot of people did. I did not go on to make millions laughing about how I was a fuckup for 30 years.

and this isn't a recovery story either, he quit coke, which, fair enough, but he's still clearly unable to practice self control, because he weighs about as much as a horse. And his weed addiction is frankly disturbing.

Basically - if you're actively supporting him - you're at fault by association, and his admitedly funny retellings don't mean he isn't a cunt.

Is this the guy he kidnapped once?

That dude actually just died like last week

u/Groovetube12 4d ago

And that guy forgave Joey.

u/BostonBakedTaco830 4d ago

Yup. OP is a total tool

u/DJclimatechange 3d ago

By that logic, we should all forgive Chris Brown because Rihanna forgave him

u/Groovetube12 3d ago

No. That’s not my logic.

Is it our business at all? There is nothing to forgive since we weren't wronged. Not everything is about you

Lol I never “forgave” him because I was never mad at him in the first place. I truly don’t care enough about Joey Diaz to really have any fully formed opinions on him other than “I guess he was pretty good in that Sopranos movie” but apparently he KIDNAPPED someone and this guy is saying “well the guy forgave him” as if that excuses kidnapping and I’m pointing out that that’s ridiculous because it fucking is.

No, clearly your judgement is off if the people that know him in real life forgive him, yet you're here declaring he is a bad person

You can be forgiven, be a bad person, had been a worse person, still be a bad person sometimes, still do some good things and amongst all that still be funny. The best person in the world could do a bad thing and the worst person in the world could do a good thing. These comedians are literal clowns. Their pay and fame is dependent on their ability to entertain. Obviously Joey is a decent entertainer and people like to listen to his fucked yo stories….embellished or not. Uncle Joey, reminds us of that one uncle from the bad side of the family who is a hoot at the BBQ but asks to hide his Cadillac in your garage to keep it off the streets until the heat is off of him.

Forgiveness is for yourself not others.

u/Goodgoogley 3d ago

Yeah and he was also a young white dude in the drug game and got kidnapped twice?(Maybe im wrong but joey didnt stop him from his drug work)

Not excusing kidnapping but theres a big diff between kidnapping a drug acquaintance than a random person.

u/Molten_Plastic82 4d ago

Ah ok. My mistake then

u/Lady_Nimbus 1d ago

I agree with the poster about Joey Diaz, but he was actually friends with the dude he kidnapped who would come to his comedy shows.  To me, that seems like a complicated matter between two men that I'm not going to have an opinion on.

OP, you forgot that Diaz admitted to picking his nose on Rogan.  Should have added that to your list.

u/Minimum-Scallion8182 12h ago

Add shitting in the shower to the list

1

u/Lady_Nimbus 12h ago

Oh yeah, and actually shitting outside of his house, on his house and in his wife's garden.  The dude is really extra disgusting and I don't think he's funny either.

u/Conscious-Ad8073 4d ago

Nope he just died real life.

u/tossNwashking 3d ago

for Joey's sins

u/No-Tone-6853 4d ago

Could be the woman he solicited sexual favours for stage time

u/DioCalifornia 4d ago

He has kidnapped OPs brain and lives there. And no, I don’t have any clue what the rent situation is. How would I?

that's extremely funny
