Emily Yoffe Blind Item From Slate
Blackmailing a Celebrity: I used to be in a relationship with somebody who is now a well-known celebrity, years before he became famous. He has a bizarre fetish involving worms, and there are video recordings. He emailed me a while ago (while he was engaged to his wife) asking if I wanted to meet with him and implied strongly that he wanted to engage in his fetish one last time. Now that he is extremely famous, I am tempted to get in touch with him and offer to sell him the clips for a large sum of money. The amount I am thinking of is a small portion of his net worth and probably the equivalent to an average person paying, say, a parking fine. Is it truly evil to blackmail a person if I’m only going to do it once? This guy is a jerk anyway, and I’m not asking for an amount of money that is significant to him. It is a small figure to him but would make a big difference in my pocket.
Dwayne Wade?
ReplyDeleteAdam Levine?
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with all kinds of fetishes but no one has ever approached me with a worm fetish. I really want more details about this? Tapeworm down the urethra? Blood worms encased and squirming round his junk? In an enema up the ass? Very curious. Also, I have no guesses.
ReplyDelete@MM--why Dwayne Wade??? lol
ReplyDeleteand WTF is a worm fetish
LMAO!!!
DeleteAh, Dear Prudence.
ReplyDeleteWorm fetish was posted in the comments earlier today. Weird with a side of gross and a helping of ick-nast.
Dennis Rodman? lol
ReplyDeleteI have no guesses either. I'm thinking maybe an athlete like ya'll though. Or would he have specified if it was an athlete?
ReplyDeleteI think this post to Slate was by a troll.
ReplyDeleteBlackmail for a worm fetish for the price of a parking ticket? Umm, that just makes YOU a jerk and a cheap jerk at that...except to the worms...you would be a hero to the worms..
ReplyDeleteAuthor explains that the amount of ransom is proportionally equal to a normal person paying a parking ticket. I.e. Wouldn't impact him...
DeleteTed Cruz

DeleteMore details, doing what with the worms.
ReplyDeleteAnd, only for the price of a parking ticket? Cheap.
Thinking some pro athlete also.
Make this one about Renner
ReplyDeleteAdam Levine was my thought as well because recently married, but there has to be other jerks who married recently and are famous....
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is a blind item. I'll guess Channing Tatum just because I see a little kink in him. Or Kanye...because Kanye.
ReplyDeleteand I just threw up in my mouth
ReplyDeleteIts somebody extremely wealthy maybe a billionaire so how about Michael Jordan?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the always weird Vincent Kartheiser??
ReplyDeleteSeth Rogen
ReplyDeleteJust cuz I love the idea of him getting stoned and instead of the munchies...he be like-worm time!!!
Plus there was reveal or heavily linked blind to him...and itbwasnt..good well say
DeleteIt has a NAME?
ReplyDeleteHooooooollly Shiiiiit
I would call it getofftheplanetnowphilia
Eddie Murphy?
ReplyDeleteNo he's not married.
ReplyDeleteWorms give me the creeps just looking at them. Couldn't even dream up a nightmare with worms/sex. lol. But, I did save one the other day from frying on the sidewalk, I know you guys will be able to enjoy your days knowing that story. Ok, i'll shut up now. lol.
ReplyDeleteJesus, what causes a person to be aroused by worms?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should start a Save the worms charity, Cami.
ReplyDeleteYou know you would have at least 1 generous donor ;)
It is illegal to blackmail somebody. Best bet is to contact a lawyer and offer to sell the tapes and the rights to the celebrity.
ReplyDeleteLike...a sexual fetish? Ok...whatever. It's better than what John Mayer likes. To each his own and the partner he's with. I personally would prefer gummy worms. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI dont judge do you boy
ReplyDeleteI'm not a prude by any means but this is too much for me
ReplyDeleteWorms in his butthole maybe??
BLECH
@Count where you be?
like gerbils only smaller?
ReplyDeletesome worms bite..
ReplyDeletevermiphilia
ReplyDeleteHere is a beginner's guide to vermiphilia
Link
I will never look at vermicelli the same again.
And if you know anyone who has got parasites in the stomach on vacation this is not a good topic to bring up
ReplyDeleteHaha! Too right!
DeleteBARF.
I thought blackmail was illegal. Why don't celebrities just go to the FBI and have the person arrested. The tape will get out someday anyway so come clean and sick the police on any scum who tries to use them against you
ReplyDeleteAPPLAUSE FOR VERA CHRISTINA! I bet you got it with Vincent Kartheiser. At the very least it's a superb guess.
ReplyDeleteI thought Dwayne Wade cus he just got married and being engaged to his soon to be wife Gabby Union. Also it says celebrity as opposed to actor, singer, etc, and the BI states "He emailed me a while ago (while he was engaged to his wife"
ReplyDelete@Count, what time is class??
ReplyDeleteBlackmailers NEVER ask for money"just one time". They may SAY it's just one time but then they think it's easy money sowhy not keep going to the well?
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with that section of Slate but is that just an clever way to post a blind item? In which case bravo. And worm lover is going to know this is him.
ReplyDeleteI'm gunna say Brett Ratner because he is already a shrimp fucker
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Brett ain't married. I'll toss in Lamar Odom or Hank Baskett
DeleteI like the Ted Cruz guess. Politicians are all kinds of gross!
ReplyDeleteGit dat money!!
ReplyDeleteHad to of been almost 20yrs ago because she's been married 19yr
ReplyDeleteIm going with Clooney because he was married way back and now very famous today
ReplyDeleteHow about Deniro? Didn't he just marry in the last year OR Star Wars creater/director. Jeez can't remember his name.
ReplyDelete@Dennis A., I thought this is a question FOR Yoffe not HER question so it doesn't pertain to her being married for 20 years.am I reading this wrong??
ReplyDeleteIn or out worms?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he just likes fishing!
whoever it is parking tickets around here are only about $50 so..
ReplyDeletethis isn't for real,right?
It's Channing Tatum (or "Chan" to those of us that knew him before he got famous
ReplyDelete@Groovy
ReplyDeleteSo Channing Tatum has a worm fetish?????
What does this mean??
More details plz!!!!!
@teresa Groovy Hates him cause they went to highschool together or some shit but I doubt its charming potato..
DeleteThe person in this blind just got married. Hence the "he recently called me while he was engage". Who just Got recently married?
I know damn well it Aint Brad pitt.
I don't care how rich the dude is, or what his fetish is, blackmail is blackmail, be it a little percentage of what he earns or every last stinking cent.
ReplyDelete@lady H cant be Lamar or Hank been married for years.
ReplyDeleteThis is a question someone asked Emily Yoffe at Slate. Which means it's unlikely we'll get an answer.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's the guy who married Jessica Simpson. He's a celebrity that now has access to lots of $$.
Word to the wise- Unless you've got real leverage, like being a media site or drug dealer, a "nobody" can't blackmail a celebrity anymore in 2014 without cops catching your ass. This is the NSA world we live in, you have to be some kind of dumb to try this anymore.
ReplyDeleteTina, no I will NOT look!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEnty, you secretive little man, you.
R U sure it is not just a one-time video with worms and a high as a kite celebrity U R trying to label as "fetish" to get hype and money?
ReplyDeleteMy advice: if U ask for a low sum, instead of money they will send some goons after you to beat the crap out of U. Cause U R a cheap bastard with no power to defend yourself.
If it is just 1 video, and you give it away entirely, your body safety is noneexistent anymore.
not even the police will believe U, if U don't have proof.
I call BS on this blind.
Holy fucking SHIT with that link!! How??? Why??? WHAT?!?! I thought I was open minded, but reading that Ghenki guys quote has me lighting my torch and sharpening my pitchfork. FUUUUCK that shit.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Dr. spends all his time researching this shit? Man oh man...my brain, my poor little brain...
Now I want to blackmail that celebrity for inspiring this thread!!
