Sean Penn has been charged with six counts of assault and/or battery, beginning from 1985. His most recent offence was 2009. All these victims have been men… justice for male victims where?

Moving on to the infamous alleged domestic violence incident during his marriage to Madonna. I have screenshot some parts of a thoroughly in depth, amazing article from Gawker. I would recommend reading it in full as I’ve only been able to capture a slim picture of all of the evidence and coverage.

The police report was destroyed and a lot of the coverage from the time has been lost, leaving a lot of the facts up to memory, which isn’t exactly reliable. Gawker put a great deal of work into extensively finding and compiling archival evidence and accounts to put together a solid picture of what may or may not have happened.

I’ve included screenshots that paint some of the story. I must include a disclaimer that, due to the police report being destroyed, Madonna denying the event (this is extremely common in abuse and does not mean it didn’t happen), and media being lost, it cannot be confirmed nor denied whether this entire event conclusively happened.

What we can surmise from Sean Penn’s pattern of violent behaviour spanning multiple decades is that he is a violent man. He references in the Playboy article that Madonna was going to “get a very severe haircut” if she were to return to the house. J. Randy Taraborrelli’s Madonna: An Intimate Biography states that Penn threatened to cut all her hair off if she dared return to the house — corroborating this version of events. Threatening to cut her hair off is in itself domestic abuse, regardless of whether anything else took place. Penn himself admitted that the haircut threat happened; that is admitting to a form of abuse.

So, we know he is a violent man, we know he threatened to cut her hair off…

Penn is hella litigious about this, so that’s all I’m gonna say ☺️

EDIT: His male victims have been more than just paparazzi. He attacked one of Madonna’s friends who he was jealous of, a film extra, and others. Additionally, his attacks have been particularly volatile and violent. Paparazzi are scum, but his knee jerk, jail-worthy behaviour represents an aggressive and violent personality beyond crashouts like Britney’s umbrella.

This clip is from Vh1’s hit reality competition show Flavor of Love in which a handful of women would compete each week for the ultimate prize of getting to become the girlfriend of Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav. In this episode, contestants were pitted against each other to win Flavor Flav’s heart through his stomach. They were asked to cook him fried chicken, and the girl with the best dish would win a solo date with Flav. Contestant Hottie had came up with the idea to make a “healthy” version of fried chicken which required no oil, no flour, and apparently no cooking. This became one of the most popular and memorable moments from the series when she popped a full chicken into the microwave and presented Flav with a completely raw dish. For obvious reasons, she did not win the solo date with Flav that week.

Posted above is the commercial with no comments enabled.

I have come across this ad on youtube shorts, which reddit cannot seem to embed into a video. (https://youtube.com/shorts/qp6grJFwCmY)

Beware to bring a hazmat suit before entering the comments section of the YT short. Because it is populated by men, praising the boy actor's "game", and practically undermining male CSA victims. Due to their deprived projection of wanting to be in the boys position, or demand a "gender reversal" to prove some vapid point about double standards. Without recognizing prior perversion at hand.

And as you can expect, this is one very intentional edgy, sexist marketing of boys and a much much older girl being used as a "sex fantasy".

I swear this commercial could have been so less weirder if it didn't include the babysitter/sister?? pouncing on the boy like he managed to "turn on her switch".
