Coulda been a bitch like Drake and hid it.
That’s very true
That’s like some kid in the 90s discovering their dad was Dean Martin or someone. If any of their peers know who Dave Grohl is they’d just know that that’s some old rocker their parents liked.
foo fighters, the classic rock band?
The '90s was 30 years ago. In the '90s the '60s were 30 years ago, so I think the analogy holds up
How dare you make me feel my age!
As a gen-x’er… fuck off 🤣
how’s the kids old man?
At this point, also old.
congrats. I hope you’re proud of them :) best of luck in your life, and for them in theirs.
You were one “the best” off damnit
I really hope this news takes the Dave worship down a few pegs.
Not the first time he’s done that
Who cares 🙄 he made a single mistake in all his years as one of the most popular people on the planet in a profession rampant with people drugging cheating whoring and partying.
Hardly say this counts as media.
Can’t imagine if I had a spotlight on every mistake I’ve ever made lol
I’ll add an edit to say I’m not downplaying how wrong cheating is. I’ve cheated one time - almost had sex with a girl, left before penetration, called my then girlfriend and told on myself. Said she needed time to think, took the night to talk to her friends about it, we moved on. Eventually broke up for unrelated reasons. Never done it again. I was 20 at the time maybe? 35 now.
I’m not saying what he did wasnt wrong Im saying it’s not media because it’s not anyone else’s business. This is tabloid shit 🙄
Woops, I accidentally stuck my penis into someone who isn’t my wife (again) that I made vows to. Not to mention the affect on my children. Just a little oopsie, I can’t believe anyone would find this repulsive!
also, I created a brand new sentient being. it’s just a little oopsie, no biggie
You’re missing the point - this isn’t news. He’s a rockstar. People cheat on their wives everyday - is it wrong? Absolutely. Is it anyone else’s business? No.
Also not gonna judge him for something half y’all have probably done multiple times.
If it isn’t news or anyone’s business then why did Dave make the announcement himself?
And didn’t realize being a celebrity means you get to do anything you want with impunity. Like you said it’s wrong. Period. And it’s perfectly acceptable to judge that.
Frankly, other people doing something is not good enough reasoning to forgo judgement. Shitty stuff happens everyday, suddenly we’re not allowed to not like it or talk about it just because it’s happened before? Murder, war, terrorism, fraud, greed, can we not condemn such things simply because they’ve been done before? Ridiculous.
“Not gonna judge him for something half y’all have probably done multiple times” just comes across as projection. Most people do not cheat.
Lot to touch on here. Not going to get to all of it. First off most people do cheat according to an overwhelming majority of surveys done over the years. That’s not including those who lie on those surveys.
Secondly the point is when normal people cheat, it doesn’t get blasted/they don’t get blasted by anyone outside of people related to them or their situation. As it should be.
Thirdly and finally, the entire point, since you seemed to miss it entirely, was that this is tabloid shit. People should have better things to talk about than which celebrity cheated, especially since the future of our nation is potentially in jeopardy, and a debate related to that future just occurred. But by all means spend your time making a big deal about Dave cheating.
And as for making the announcement himself? That’s him owning it as far as I’m concerned. Which is what I did when I made that mistake. Doesn’t give people the right to talk down on him for a mistake literally half the world makes once or more in their lives.
First off most people do cheat according to an overwhelming majority of surveys done over the years
Source needed because that is far from the data I see. Infidelity occurred in 20-25% of marital relationships
Secondly the point is when normal people cheat, it doesn’t get blasted/they don’t get blasted by anyone outside of people related to them or their situation. As it should be.
No one forced him to announce it. He could have tried to keet it within the family. Public information is perfectly acceptable to discuss, and you should be blasted when you do something wrong.
Thirdly and finally, the entire point, since you seemed to miss it entirely, was that this is tabloid shit
Just because you feel it is tabloid shit doesn’t make it so, and regardless of how much you want to say I’m missing something. A lot of people look up to Dave as a role model and a legitimately “good” person, and for sure he has done good things. But without a doubt hearing this will cause a lot of people to alter their perception of him (myself included). That is news.
Edit: here is a whole other comment from reddit detailing how cheating isn’t common with 18+ sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/monogamy/comments/ruigh4/comment/hqz9rg4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
A good person is someone who owns up to their mistakes. Which is what him announcing it was. If you choose to see him as less of a good person for it that’s your opinion, but that doesn’t make it more than it is - an opinion.
And no, it definitely IS tabloid shit. Lol.

One source of many.
Yes, it’s for Australia before you jump on that - Australia, ranked sixth in infidelity in the world behind the United States, which is ranked 5th. According to Ashley Madison anyways.
You can find a survey that says whatever you want. Finding the actual statistics, however, is another matter.
Cheating, sorry to say, is extremely prevalent in modern relationships.
A thief is someone that thinks everyone steals.
Except if you read any of my other comments you’ll realize I’ve already discussed whether or not I’ve cheated and details around it.
Sure bro.

Yeah cheating is very bad but it’s not something that I think should define someone’s entire life. Especially if they show genuine remorse.
Keanu is next
You know it’s kinda weird that nobody gave a shit when Arnold did this. I guess because Arnold didn’t make a brand around being wholesome, except when it comes to the gym?
Nobody gave a shit? It was huge news. The gossip rags milked it for months
The gossip rags will milk a wooden cow for months though. Dude didn’t get cancelled or anything.
Has anyone been cancelled for cheating? Dave grohl sure hasn’t, the worst repurcuasions I’ve seen for him so far are a bunch of memes and presumably a very angry wife
I would argue that Arnold kind of has a brand around being wholesome nowadays.
I think it’s more the fact that all male celebrities got away with this kind of behavior and worse in the past, but more recently people have started to look back on it with a critical lens. The nature of social media amplifies that critical lens.
A few years ago I would agree with you, but honestly I think female celebs also get away with this stuff, they just didn’t feel as empowered before.
Like nobody outside extremely niche Twitter spaces cared when Taylor Swift dated a 17 year old or when the owner of the Seahawks sexually harassed her bodyguards.
As far as finding out bad things about celebrities in the news goes, this barely even rates. Infidelity is nothing compared to the bar that has been set.
Dave Grohl got a lot of shit for playing a private show for Amazon leadership after they had laid off thousands of employees earlier this year.
Now, I guess it kinda makes sense why. It’s not just that he’s morally bankrupt, but he probably needed some extra cash to fund the incoming divorce and raising a new child.
With all that said, I kinda feel for the child. It’s gonna suck to have this scrutiny on your shoulders, and to have weird parts of the Grohl cult of personality hate you for existing. Would it actually be that good having him as your dad when his other kids apparently want nothing to do with him now?
The only meme that matters this morning.
foo fighters is trans?
