There was precisely one time he was scheduled to do an interview with Michael Kupperman about his memoir at some college book fair (still under Virgil Texas) but it got canceled when the internet took notice and started swarming their mailboxes. Other than that there's only people who claim to have seen him still wandering around the streets of Brooklyn.

I do remember this and I thought that was a joke tweet lol.

Well gently caress him anyways. RIP beltway garage though

There was a joke tweet by someone impersonating a Christian paper that he was doing a future op-ed for them that got mass reported as real. The only actual appearance he’s ever been scheduled to make post-allegations is the Kupperman thing. Nothing since.

And as noted previously, a few people have said he’s still in Brooklyn but there are a million people in NYC who look like him tbh.

They weren't blurry, they were just specious. It wasn't clear exactly what her age was when contact was initiated, let alone how old she was when he started hitting on her, or to what extent he was hitting on her. She had some conflicting dates, and I think the impetus for their discussion in the first place was her reaching out to him about an essay she wrote about, specifically, being 16 and turning 17 and how that transition affected her. Much of it only seemed to establish that they had exchanged emails and had at least some kind of quasi-professional communication. All of this came from a (I think) brand new Twitter account that someone pointed out had a kind of suspicious and referential name (I forget what exactly, it's mentioned earlier in this thread.) Accusations of this sort had been made against him before but they were known to be from bad actors trying to entrap him, so there was even more reason to doubt the veracity of any of the claims. It was also kind of suspiciously perfect -- screenshots of him saying the classic "you're very smart for your age" cliché line that's ripe for mockery. The subject of their establishing contact being an essay that would seem to firmly establish her as underage seemed rather convenient to the accusation as well. It was all very questionable and probably could've been avoided by either ignoring it or being like "nah this isn't true."




However.

Basically immediately in the wake of the accusations he just completely loving vanished with no explanation, denial or admittance of any wrongdoing and has been radio silent ever since. We will probably never get an explanation unless someone who knows pipes up. The fact that basically any denial to the shakiness of it (and the subsequent total disappearance of the person who accused him, apparently demanding no further justice than making him unpopular) could have been deflected so easily and he just loving vanished is ten times more damning than anything he was alleged to have done.

There's probably like 5 people who know the Real Truth, chances are though one of those people will post about it here so go ahead. I mean someone popped up out of nowhere in the TAFS thread with details of the Jake Flores thing a couple of months ago (Jake did it).

Tonight's the Night
Matt finally had the medical emergency that he was dreading on the last couple Grill Streams and it doesn’t sound good at all:

quote:

Hello Grey Wolves,

This is definitely the most difficult thing we’ve ever had to put out through the show. Last Tuesday morning, Matt Christman suffered a sudden, severe medical emergency that will require a significant period of recovery. He is currently in the hospital in stable condition. We are trying very hard to be optimistic, but there’s no easy way to say that he will be out of commission for the indefinite future.

As many of you are aware, Matt and his wife Amber Rollo are also expecting their first child, a daughter, and her delivery is scheduled this Sunday as well. We are all so, so excited and happy to welcome a new little Christman into the world, and we were looking forward to announcing this under better circumstances. But this situation is obviously drastically complicated by Matt’s medical emergency.

We are a family, so we are currently shifting all our priorities and attention to caring for Matt & Amber. A silver lining is Matt is so loved he has a tremendous support network out here - they are surrounded by friends and family and we are all-hands-on-deck helping them through these both tragic and joyous life events.

So listeners, please bear with us as we take our first hiatus in the seven and a half years of doing this show. We need to organize all our efforts around helping Matt in this critical period, and helping Amber through the birth of their daughter. And frankly, we’re just not in any place to give you guys any kind of entertaining material right now. The show WILL go on, though: we will be back next Thursday or the following Monday with new material for you all. We already had a number of all-star guests lined up to cover Matt’s paternity leave, so we will do our best to keep Chapo Trap House here for all of you as soon as we’re able.

Sincerely, thank you all for your support. For all our poo poo talk, we do love you. Matt loves you. We will try to provide appropriate updates and new information as soon as we can. We ask that you do your best to respect Matt & Amber’s privacy right now. And please, please don’t be weird little freaks about any of this. This is an incredibly weird situation for all of us, don’t make it weirder.

All the best & talk to you soon,

Chapo Trap House

Awful especially with the kid coming :(
