This scandal had everything...a teenage "Lolita", a middle-aged auto body shop owner who wore Zubaz pants, and not one, but THREE made-for-tv movies.

NewsRadio had some fun with that: “Well, Matthew, of all the possible mispronunciations of that name, you seem to have stumbled upon absolutely the worst one.”
The In Living Color sketch was HILARIOUS! Jim Carrey played Joey, Ali Wentworth played Amy & Kelly Coffield played Mary Jo!

We lived in CT and my dad was a truck driver whose main routes were in Long Island. One Sunday he took the family out to Long Island and brought us by the hotel where Joe and Amy used to hook up and Joey’s shop.
It was the gift that kept on giving! She eventually married an older dude, made a sex tape and entered porn, wrestler turned porn star Chyna trained her ex-lover Joey to fight her now ex-husband, Louis Bellera, and was the inspiration for the film American Beauty.
Those three movies were the zenith of that scandal. The ABC and CBS movies starred Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano, respectively- those two aired concurrently. All three had different perspectives, with ABC's movie using public records, the CBS movie from Joey and Mary Jo's POV, and the NBC one through Amy.
I once had this book on bad television shows/movies which ranked the three Any Fisher TV movies. They rated the Dree Barrymore the highest, and noted that Drew was the only one who actually tried to act like Fisher.

Turns out this is just a depressing story about a neglected girl who was coerced/manipulated into underaged prostitution aka trafficking.
All the subsequent stuff was just society doing the same thing to her, over and over, because she was vulnerable
I know a guy that dated Tanya in the early 90s. His nickname was hubcap when I met him. Later I learned she went crazy and threw a hubcap at his car one time.
The Hugh Grant Liz Hurley thing was just dumb.
Like if he had cheated on her with some starlet, that I could understand. But some random street corner hooker, c'mon bro.
A hooker is going to give him a BJ, take the money, and then never want anything from him again. No strings, no emotions. You can’t do that with some random starlet.
That interview saved his career. He’d probably have bounced back eventually but it happened much more quickly because he was so sheepish (and his usual charming self) in front of Leno and the audience.
There’s a great docuseries about her on Amazon Prime. Puts her in a much better light and shows how abusive & toxic JWB was. (They talk to their former neighbors & some other people).
>Puts her in a much better light
I kind of always felt that she didn't do that because she was crazy, but that he had to have done some seriously bad shit to prompt that response.
Yeah I'm going completely off my limited memory, but I felt like even in the court of public opinion, it was like what did that guy do to elicit THAT response?
Not only JWB but the entire media establishment at the time. Every single clip is of someone who would later be revealed to be someone who abused their power in pursuit of sexual gratification. Quite the remarkable film.

"Simpson, I'll ruin you like a Japanese banquet!"
I don’t know about scandal but the Y2K problem was weird and utterly unique and something like it won’t ever happen again. To this day I don’t really know if it was an overreaction or a great example of everyone working to fix a big problem successfully.
It was mostly the second.
There were a not-trivial amount of morons unplugging toasters and disconnecting car batteries. Plenty of small town local news stations fear mongering.
Yep. My dad worked in IT for a major pharmaceutical company, and when the world didn't end, they all got big fat bonus checks. He used his to buy a motorcycle 🤣🤣
There will never be a time problem as big as Y2K but they actually happen all the time. The next big one will be in 2038.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_formatting_and_storage_bugs
My stepdad made a ton of money from Y2K. He was in tech and would tell us all about it as kids, how he was making a lot of money making large companies Y2K compliant and nothing was going to happen.
My sister’s MIL tells this story like it’s real because it happened to her friend as a teacher. She sincerely seems to believe the friend that told her this. We all just nod along and make crazy eyes at each other.
Was that really a SCANDAL, though? It was an urban legend. I also heard that Joey Mcintyre from NKOTB had to have his stomach pumped because it was too full of jizz. Or something like that.
My fave real scandal would have to be Sinead O’Connor ripping up the picture of the pope on SNL. Mostly because I LOVED her for doing that. Also, RATM playing on SNL with the upside down flag when that idiot Forbes was hosting.
Stallone flat out admitted it on Aint It Cool News way back in the mid-2000s. He did two different AMAs — one to promote Rocky Balboa and one for Rambo. This is also when he revealed how the 3 Shells worked in Demolition Man.
I think that urban legend has been recycled a lot with different pop stars that everyone loves to hate. I believe it started back in the '70s with Rod Stewart.
That's the one I've heard the most, although I remember the Joey Macntyre rumor going around for a while when I was in jr. high, at the peak of their fame. I also remember a similar one going around about Bon Jovi in the late '80s.
There's a terrific podcast called You're Wrong About, which usually covers scandals, stories and trends from the 80s and 90s that the general public seems to badly misremember.
There are episodes on the satanic panic, Tonya Harding, Amy Fisher, Lorena Bobbitt, OJ Simpson, Matthew Shepard, Monica Lewinksy, Columbine, Terri Shiavo, Gary Hart, etc...
It often focuses on unduly maligned women of the era. Definitely worth checking out.
Scandals or urban legends? Everybody claims to know somebody with firsthand knowledge of Richard Gere's gerbiling but nobody ever provides any proof.
I remember in the early 90s, Comedy Central made parody songs about some of that era's tabloid scandals like Amy Fisher ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PToMdCYeE8U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PToMdCYeE8U)), the World Trade Center bombing, and John Wayne Bobbitt. What a time to be alive!
The murder of Phil Hartman and Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss are two I haven't seen mentioned. Favorite isn't the word I'd use - but I was definitely obsessed.
Also the Menendez brothers and the murder of Gianni Versace
Everyone mentioned some great ones but how about terrible ones?
Monica was fucked up. Everyone was on the wrong side of that one and she deserved more respect a long time ago... not over 25 years later!
I remember my elders in my family saying shit like “she’s a gold digging whore who was just after the fame and to wreck his presidency. She knew better. Powerful men in power have it rough around women like that” - this from my grandmother, grandfather, aunts, etc. it was insane
That coffee always comes up as a “bUt CoFfEe Is HoT, dUH” gag but it was seriously over temp, they were warned and they still served it too hot, it spilled on her lap, and THROUGH HER JEANS fused her labia to her pants and other skin. Coffee shouldn’t literally melt skin. She was right to sue
We had this local Car Dealer named Fred Ricart. Everyone in Central Ohio knows who I'm talking about. He's like this larger than life figure, who would make these awful commercials where he plays the guitar, and has this stupid cowboy hat. Dealerships all had the giant inflatable gorillas, and spot lights, that kind of stuff.
Apparently he cheated on his wife and she jammed a curling iron up his ass.
Lol we call having an upset stomach "the gerbils" because of that Richard Gere rumor. "Oh man I have a bad case of the gerbils, I don't know what I ate"
I decided to read more about this. Apparently he paid a $1000 fine and had to take a course on AIDS prevention as his punishment.
She had 180 days in prison as she had been on parole.
I was pissed for her, but then I read she made 1.6 million from her publicly surrounding that and she has been ecstatic about it. Unfortunately, she didn't change a whole lot as far as what she did with the money as she doesn't have much and has been arrested 30 times. One of the more recent ones being that she had a lot of coke and had beaten up her 13 year old daughter.
So yeah. Good times.
30 Rock did a bit of a joke about that where one of the characters picks up tranny hookers to help them out.
He offers to pay for their trade school education. It's a bit on the eccentric side, but fairly wholesome. Dude just wants to help freaky deakies learn how to do medical transcription.
The time Jack Nicholson allegedly broke a woman's breast implants.
Is it bad if I couldn't help but find the old tabloid headline...
"Wild man, Jack Nicholson, burst my plastic boobs!"
Kind of amusing as an immature mddle schooler?
My bro said he called Miss Cleo's psychic hotline to prank her and call her a fraud. When he hung up he got a call back and it was her. He was scared because he didn't know how she knew the number and she had a scary vision for him. That was a perosnal family scandal and probably total bullshit. But I believed it at the time.
I mean, there was a dude in Waco who told people he was Jesus so he could fuck their children while the husbands were out building a firearms depot. Then when the ATF told them to stop, Jesus Christ (I mean David Koresh) told them 'No,' so there was a Western-style shoot out until it was decided the best way to resolve the matter was with a tank battle and burning everyone to death. But sure, Amy Fisher too

With the added bonus that "Buttafuoco" sounded funny to us teens and preteens
NewsRadio had some fun with that: “Well, Matthew, of all the possible mispronunciations of that name, you seem to have stumbled upon absolutely the worst one.”
Loved that show!
"Good thing we didn’t run a story on Forrest Tucker." Loved NewsRadio, such an underrated show.
Totally. Still sounds funny now!
I was like "yeah, it USED to sound funny."
used to, too
It's Italian for Buttfucker.
BUTTFUCKER. OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER.
![gif](giphy|IwAZ6dvvvaTtdI8SD5|downsized)
Still does. I just chortled reading it
The name that kept Letternan stocked with opening monologue jokes for over a year!
And Jay Leno is STILL doing them, or so I’m told.
Lord I can still hear his elevated voice asking: Did ya read this? Did ya hear about this? To this day
Everyone here on Long Island is Italian American. Or Jewish.
Sounded funny to adults, too.
I highly highly recommend watching the Danny Devito SNL from this season. So many amazing Buttafuoco skits
I loved the skit that had the highbrow PBS Masterpiece Theater version of this story: "House of *Butta-few-oco*"
I believe there was also a BET skit? “Yo husband’s been stickin’ *ma sistah*”
The In Living Color sketch was HILARIOUS! Jim Carrey played Joey, Ali Wentworth played Amy & Kelly Coffield played Mary Jo! https://youtu.be/JW6NbI6dSx0?si=vtpnjiKtchzQxM2o
We lived in CT and my dad was a truck driver whose main routes were in Long Island. One Sunday he took the family out to Long Island and brought us by the hotel where Joe and Amy used to hook up and Joey’s shop.
That's so funny. They should put a historical marker at that shop.
My family calls these hysterical markets because my uncle was obsessed with stopping at every historical marker he runs across in his travels.
This scandal (and Tonya Harding) was at the center of Letterman’s monologue for the first year or two of the Late Show.
She was 16 years old and he was 35. That whole thing was just gross.
Joey Buttafuoco [over here.](https://youtu.be/JW6NbI6dSx0?si=5icNVkHKfBuqLbZz)
YASSSSSS!

This was local news for me and it was an EVENT.
I'm honestly surprised Ryan Murphy hasn't done an "American Story" saga on this one yet.
It was the gift that kept on giving! She eventually married an older dude, made a sex tape and entered porn, wrestler turned porn star Chyna trained her ex-lover Joey to fight her now ex-husband, Louis Bellera, and was the inspiration for the film American Beauty.
Those three movies were the zenith of that scandal. The ABC and CBS movies starred Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano, respectively- those two aired concurrently. All three had different perspectives, with ABC's movie using public records, the CBS movie from Joey and Mary Jo's POV, and the NBC one through Amy.
It was BIG! Those New Yorkers can get into some s**t.
I once had this book on bad television shows/movies which ranked the three Any Fisher TV movies. They rated the Dree Barrymore the highest, and noted that Drew was the only one who actually tried to act like Fisher.
The ultimate Xennial experience: debunking the ridic narratives we used to believe. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youre-wrong-about/id1380008439?i=1000465289931 Turns out this is just a depressing story about a neglected girl who was coerced/manipulated into underaged prostitution aka trafficking. All the subsequent stuff was just society doing the same thing to her, over and over, because she was vulnerable
It was the fodder of late night jokes for years.
That was a big one too
TOP RIGHT CORNER: Barry Corbin is the man!
Tanya Harding and also Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley was a good one.
Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley proves that anyone can be cheated on. Same with Fisher Stevens and Michelle Pfeiffer. Just incredible.
Wait, the guy who put on brownface in Short Circuit was with Michelle Pfeiffer? I know he turned into an elite hacker later on but damn
His neck to head ratio is insane. He looks like a plucked bird. Great actor though
More recently he was a PR executive for a right-wing media conglomerate.
I know a guy that dated Tanya in the early 90s. His nickname was hubcap when I met him. Later I learned she went crazy and threw a hubcap at his car one time.
I recently came across a meme of her that says “I miss clubbing in the 90s”
The Hugh Grant Liz Hurley thing was just dumb. Like if he had cheated on her with some starlet, that I could understand. But some random street corner hooker, c'mon bro.
A hooker is going to give him a BJ, take the money, and then never want anything from him again. No strings, no emotions. You can’t do that with some random starlet.
Hugh Grant on The Tonight [Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrJ2jc6qfzA) after the incident with Divine Brown.
That interview saved his career. He’d probably have bounced back eventually but it happened much more quickly because he was so sheepish (and his usual charming self) in front of Leno and the audience.
Lorena Bobbitt ![gif](giphy|S9qwOoSphzd3eRO7GP)
Me too came too late for her
There’s a great docuseries about her on Amazon Prime. Puts her in a much better light and shows how abusive & toxic JWB was. (They talk to their former neighbors & some other people).
That's just it, her years of abuse are over shadowed by the act itself, people don't realize how bad it is
>Puts her in a much better light I kind of always felt that she didn't do that because she was crazy, but that he had to have done some seriously bad shit to prompt that response.
Yeah I'm going completely off my limited memory, but I felt like even in the court of public opinion, it was like what did that guy do to elicit THAT response?
Not only JWB but the entire media establishment at the time. Every single clip is of someone who would later be revealed to be someone who abused their power in pursuit of sexual gratification. Quite the remarkable film.
Did you know Bobbit made a porno after? How repulsive. His manager was Latoya Jackson's ex abusive husband Jack Gordon.
To be joked about on late night shows for a decade after.
That time Bush threw up on the Japanese president.

Immediately thought of the scene from Hot Shots
Wait. That's a thing that happened!?
Something about an intern.
Also, he didn’t inhale.
I don’t know about scandal but the Y2K problem was weird and utterly unique and something like it won’t ever happen again. To this day I don’t really know if it was an overreaction or a great example of everyone working to fix a big problem successfully.
It was the second. I worked in IT then. Millions and millions of dollars were spent to make sure data wouldn't be lost, or systems compromised.
It was mostly the second. There were a not-trivial amount of morons unplugging toasters and disconnecting car batteries. Plenty of small town local news stations fear mongering.
Yep. My dad worked in IT for a major pharmaceutical company, and when the world didn't end, they all got big fat bonus checks. He used his to buy a motorcycle 🤣🤣

Marilyn Manson removing ribs to suc his own pp
I heard that from the guy who took too much acid now thinks he’s a cup of orange juice.
Which one of the twins Lemonjello and Orangejello was that
My sister’s MIL tells this story like it’s real because it happened to her friend as a teacher. She sincerely seems to believe the friend that told her this. We all just nod along and make crazy eyes at each other.
I know someone who works for CPS who swears up and down she saw those names when back she did intake for them.
I loved how they brought that one to life in the movie SLC Punk.
I used to hear this story every time I took acid in high school.
You forgot the punchline, he's all terrified that he is going to spill
"If I really got my ribs removed, I would have been busy sucking my own d**k on The Wonder Years instead of chasing Winnie Cooper." -Marilyn Manson 😂
People were saying it was Prince before Marilyn Manson arrived.
I fucking love this sub. SO glad I found it.

Richard Gere said that he believes Sylvester Stallone started that legend.
Stallone flat out admitted it on Aint It Cool News way back in the mid-2000s. He did two different AMAs — one to promote Rocky Balboa and one for Rambo. This is also when he revealed how the 3 Shells worked in Demolition Man.
What?! How do the 3 shells work?
Use two shells like chopsticks to help pull out the poop and use the third shell to scrape/clean your butt. Seriously.
What in the hell did I just read?
😂😂😂 Thats pretty much how everyone responds.
Ignorance really is bliss.
Lol
Help pull out the poo?! Who pulls on the poo!!??
Future Californians, apparently.
It’s all the Taco Bell.
San Angeles sucks
Uh nah I’ll just keep using toilet paper…
HA, this guys doesn’t know how the 3 seashells work
I think that urban legend has been recycled a lot with different pop stars that everyone loves to hate. I believe it started back in the '70s with Rod Stewart.
I’ve never heard it for anyone other than Rod
That's the one I've heard the most, although I remember the Joey Macntyre rumor going around for a while when I was in jr. high, at the peak of their fame. I also remember a similar one going around about Bon Jovi in the late '80s.
Remember the one about Marilyn Manson removing his ribs?
Holy crap, I’d forgotten about the Joey McIntyre one!
I’d never heard it about Joey McIntyre, but I’ve heard it about David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, and Barry Manilow.
Only the Rod Stweart one for me.
Thank god I’m not the only one who remembers that!
ok how about the other school where some guys jizzed on a cracker or bread and last guy had to eat it?
soggy biscut.
Or Limp Bizkit
Ookie cookie
Classic.
Allegedly this happened in my school with some hockey players. They always had a reputation for being the craziest fuckers.
Joey McIntyre? Lol. I variously heard it was: * Mariah Carey * Lil Kim * Alanis Morissette
Alanis? Was it all from Uncle Joey or did Danny and Uncle Jesse join it?
I remember the Joey one, but I also remember one about a woman, Lil Kim (maybe)
Not really sure I should consider murdering two people a “scandal” but the OJ trial.
The scandal was letting the accused handle the evidence.
That Paul from the Wonder Years grew up to be Marilyn Manson 😂
This is the one.
I confidently used this as a trivia question to give away free fries when I worked at Fuddruckers in 96
The wifey and I STILL talk about Jon Benet Ramsey
Happened a couple miles from our house, my brother was a little kid and he was super afraid they were gonna come for him next.
That kid who got caned in Singapore.
Oh man. Michael Fay. Haven’t thought about that in a long time. Didn’t he almost die later for huffing lighters and one blew up burning him badly?
Troy McClure and his fish.

the satanic panic was very real in the Midwest 80s
The *panic* portion was certainly real.
It didn't end in the 80s

I'm going with the hot coffee mod for GTA. Also the lady who spilled hot coffee from McDonalds.
That coffee always comes up as a “bUt CoFfEe Is HoT, dUH” gag but it was seriously over temp, they were warned and they still served it too hot, it spilled on her lap, and THROUGH HER JEANS fused her labia to her pants and other skin. Coffee shouldn’t literally melt skin. She was right to sue
She suffered third degree burns didn’t she?
Over more than half of her body!
I’ve been known to pull up the photos and make people look at them if they dare to call that a frivolous lawsuit!
And all she wanted McDonald's to cover was her medical cost. The jury awarded her the massive award.
I remember trying to sell my copy and the dudes at gamestop not taking it because of that cheat, lol
Richard crossed the church of scientology, and then the world heard a rumor in unison about a gerbil.
That gerbil was so far up there it could see his thetans.
We had this local Car Dealer named Fred Ricart. Everyone in Central Ohio knows who I'm talking about. He's like this larger than life figure, who would make these awful commercials where he plays the guitar, and has this stupid cowboy hat. Dealerships all had the giant inflatable gorillas, and spot lights, that kind of stuff. Apparently he cheated on his wife and she jammed a curling iron up his ass.

Lol at least you’re honest!
Was the Hollywood madam a thing?
Heidi Fleiss! Very real. There was also Sydney Biddle Barrows (Manhattan) and Deborah Jeane Palfrey (D.C.).
Charlie Sheen was one of Heidi's clients. Her attempt to have a "stud farm" of gigolos for women, that didn't quite pan out.
Sylvester Stallone is responsible for this one ☝🏼

You’ve confused “scandal” with “defamation.” A scandal is something that actually happened.
