Film More Bad News for the Former Elmo

Posted by on Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 11:47 AM

This news makes the great documentary Being Elmo even more uncomfortable:

Kevin Clash, the ex-Elmo puppeteer who previously faced allegations of sex abuse, is once again at the center of a lawsuit. The man behind the iconic "Sesame Street" character is named in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Sheldon Stephens, who was the first individual to accuse Clash of abuse in 2012.

The suit notes an occasion when Stephens was 16 and allegedly attended an alleged "crystal meth sex party" at Clash's home.

Why did he drop his claim only to come back again? Huh?

Anyone else hear Elmo's voice saying "Hi, I like to do crystal and have unprotected sex with Cookie Monster!"

It makes me feel better that my daughter loves Chica from the Sunny Side Up Show. Chica and Stephen Colbert are the only two things that causes her to whip her head around and stare at the TV.

I dunno, this is the same news as before. Watching the documentary will not be more uncomfortable than it was last time.

Anyway, it isn't like he was molesting young children. Sex with teenagers is creepy and stupid, but not enough to ruin my enjoyment of Elmo.
