          he never actually dated anyone under 18. but I’m sure someone will chime in with a slightly different strawman to try to rage at someone else because they hate their own life

            Her name is Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss. They started dating when she was 17 and he was 38. No strawman.

            Is it really hard to believe that a celebrity was dating someone way too young? It should be illegal to have schools in LA.

              They did not start actually dating until she was 18 according to many things I read but people will still die on this hill no matter what I say and no matter what they read.

                This was the same era when Bill Clinton claimed he did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky because it was only a blow job.

                “Dating” just means they claimed not to have had sex until she was 18. He still met her by herself in a park and had private time with her when she was underaged. We call that today Grooming. Jerry Seinfeld is a groomer.

                    Nah, calling it dating was being polite to Seinfeld. No difference between dating and grooming when one of them is underaged.

                    Is it only a problem for you if they’re having sex?

      In 2010 or so I went to Cornell for the graduation ceremony of a family member of mine from their business school. The keynote speaker was Rudy Giuliani. His speech about living life with integrity really aged well lol.
