Following allegations of sexual misconduct, Netflix has pulled comedian John Crist’s upcoming comedy special.
On Thursday, November 6th, Charisma News published a breaking story about Crist’s tendency to exploit and manipulate women over the course of the last seven years.
“The allegations include, but are not limited to, individually sexting multiple women during the same time period, initiating sexual relationships with married women and women in committed relationships, offering show tickets in exchange for sexual favors and repeatedly calling these women late at night while drunk,” the publication stated.
The claims were supported by five women who came forward about their personal experiences with the popular Christian comedian.
One of the victims, Kate (whose name was changed for her protection), explained that she was “truly blinded” by Crist’s celebrity status, which made her hesitant to believe he would do anything to hurt her or her relationship with her boyfriend.
“The one thing that stopped me from believing he was creepy is John so proudly parades his face as a Christian,” said Kate. “I’ve let myself believe that just because someone is a Christian means they won’t do something intentionally bad. But the truth is, John invited me to his apartment with the intention of sleeping with me after shaking hands with my boyfriend.”
