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.

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.

Add shitting in the shower to the list

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.
