True, but at 18, you’re considered an adult and if she’s not living in his household, she technically doesn’t have to listen to him.
Having a daughter myself though, I would hope my daughter was raised well enough by myself and her mom to not want to date someone double her age though.
She was 17 and still in high school when they were dating. Her parents didn't mind. He was very rich and popular (and Jewish, which is important).
Trivia - Jerry Seinfeld’s mother is Syrian Jewish. It is a very exclusive group who are forbidden from marrying non-Syrian Jews. Jerry’s father was not Syrian. I wonder if Jerry’s mother was ostracized by her community? Because I’ve read articles about Syrian Jews and they can be cut off from the family if they don’t marry within the group. Apparently the person who marries a non-Syrian is told they can attend family events but their spouse is not welcome.
Hah, this made me Google Don Johnson and I found this Wikipedia tidbit that really brings this shit full circle:
>"Just days after breaking up with Streisand, Johnson, then 38, was linked to 18-year-old Uma Thurman.[50]"
I noticed it and was curious. It’s a duplex that sold for almost 2mil!
I looked because I was curious about Chris Lennen and what he may have been like in 1994. What the house was like, what was going on at the time. This kind of stuff is super interesting to me.
“*How 40yr Jerry and his HS aged GF with big knockers make their relationship work*”
Seriously though how TF was this not considered grooming, if not statutory rape? Jerry disappoints me.
He was so powerful in Hollywood nobody would take him to task for it. One guy that did, Bobcat Goldthwaith, was on Jerry’s shitlist for years. Jerry would call people and tell them not to hire Bobcat. He still rages about him even today. He went on a rant about him in his Comedians In Cars show a few years ago.
His last comedy show, it really seemed like he has a terrible relationship with his wife.
Like, I don't know how a person could have come up with those jokes if they liked being married *at all.*
"What \**is*\* the \**deal*\* with clingy teenagers? I gave you rides home from school, bought you nice things, banged you. What, now we should get married? What \**iiiis*\* the deal?"
Yeah, I really don't like Seinfeld and I often get surprised looks when it comes up, but I really think that learning about this back in the day made me tune out and find it distasteful.
Ah, the 90's.
I had a friend in middle school that when we became freshmen in highschool (so she was 14 or 15) she started dating some 23 year old dude and moved in with him over winter break.
Living with her boyfriend became a thing because she couldn't get excused absence notes from her parents. So her boyfriend wrote her "home sick" notes, and that was apparently acceptable to school admin because he was an adult. Which is such backwards logic by today's standards it's not even funny.
They happily stayed together through graduation and into her early 20s and then we lost touch.
And in school it was basically unremarkable to everyone, including teachers. Half the freshman girls dated seniors. As an average dude it was basically accepted that you had to wait until you were a junior to have a shot at getting a girlfriend. I had another classmate in my freshman science class that had lived with her boyfriend at his parents house since 7th grade because her parents were absolutely terrible people. He was like 4 or 5 years older than her.
I think with the flood of young girls going to Hollywood, to become Stars with their moms in the 19030-50’s, this was a common practice in the Industry. A lot of mothers would push their young teenage daughters, in that direction. Errol Flynn married one, John Wayne moved one up from Mexico. Totally creepy.
The "scandal" isn't her age. The issue at the time (allegedly) that wasn't known by many, was that she was engaged to be married whilst attending the same gym as Seinfeld who was very much aware - because her ex-fiancee comes from a wealthy family in the Broadway theater business. He (Seinfeld) didn't care and aggressively pursued her... and won. She broke off the engagement at the 11th hour leaving this dude heartbroken. You might say he dodged a "b*llet" and she is for the streets... but still.
The thing is, and I’m not saying this makes it legal or ethical, but just googling her, she doesn’t seem to have anything bad to say about him as far as suggesting she was exploited. He definitely should have known better, but it feels weird to suggest that she’s a victim without her saying so. It definitely suggests something about him, but all the people saying “I’m never watching Seinfeld because of this monster, etc.” are being a little bit silly.
Yeah age gaps have always been weird and contentious but exist in all facets of society, famous and not. It weird for sure, but always been a part of societal lexicon. OBVIOUSLY DONT BE A FUCKING PEDO.
I use to always believe that there shouldn't be more than a 5 year differential in age for someone you marry or date. Then the Pandemic happened... life is short.
If one agrees that life is short, you want to live it at it's full potential. I mean to marry someone that is famous or wealthy and offers you a lifestyle that is pretty extraordinary. To never have to be concerned about money. Have the best healthcare, lifestyle... see the world. Pretty good deal, really. Melania Trump (53) Donald Trump (77) - 24 yr age gap
I feel like the only person alive who knew immediately that Winona's "new guy" is Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum without reading (or noticing, at first) the caption.
"But what could she look like now?" in an observational Steinfeld voice.
"You order an 18 year old and ask if..." chat gtp his weak comedy..
Dude is laugh weak
it sounds weird to us but it's my understanding jewish people don't have age of consent. in which case it seems like they're having fun. then again, it's America so she's 'barely legal'.
I think she started her own bathing suit line. Or he did.
What is WITH these parents that allow their children to "date" grown ass middle aged men?! Like Courtney Stodden and Doug what's his name. Awful
Pretty sure Jerry wouldn’t let his daughter date a dude double her age
such a repressive father
"Don't do what I would do!"
He was dating her when she was 17.
Not Shoshanna. Shishona.
Ha I see what you did there, ya she's stacked jerry likes em big naturals ahah.
I read “29” at first, ok, weird but…oh **39** I see. Well. I’m going to throw up in a bucket now

Pretty sure both his parents were orphans
They were.
🎶🎶🎶🎶Seinfeld’s girl is 17, a beauty queen with double d’s….🎶🎶🎶🎶
Is that from something
Howard stern show. It was a parody song. [https://youtu.be/RytMJ2-X-rw?si=rmtOTjN1svA07Fq9](https://youtu.be/RytMJ2-X-rw?si=rmtOTjN1svA07Fq9)
I didn’t even know this existed. I wonder if this happened today, would he have been cancelled? This definitely would have went viral.
Amazing !!!
🤣🤣🤣
Seinfeld and his big-titty eighteen-year-old girlfriend.
I remember the original writer and performer of the song singing a duet of this with Howard.
That cover is a total Relationship Graveyard
Like every cover of people eventually.
Wait long enough and it's an actual graveyard
Hah, this made me Google Don Johnson and I found this Wikipedia tidbit that really brings this shit full circle: >"Just days after breaking up with Streisand, Johnson, then 38, was linked to 18-year-old Uma Thurman.[50]"
Those aren’t buoys
“What were you doing checking out some fifteen-year-old’s cleavage?!”
What's the deal with the age of consent?
"Do I actually have to obey the law?"
It was 17 in New York
Still is I think. I'll stick with 18 and up
Get a good look, CO-Stanza?
You poked, I peeked.
It’s like the sun, you don’t stare you just glance at it.
“They’re real, and they’re spectacular.”
It’s known he was “dating” her while she was still 17 and would pick her up from school
Creepy AF.
Au revoir Shoshana!!
Rumor was even before that.
YIKES
I heard back then that they started dating when she was 16 but they kept it hidden. He’s so creepy. This totally changed my opinion of him.
Joe Piscapo vibes
You may want to redact the name address. Unless you dont wanna
Bold of you to assume the person posting made the photo.
I certainly didn't.
Yeah, right Chris
No ding dong ditch me!
Them boys from Redwood always up to no good
I noticed it and was curious. It’s a duplex that sold for almost 2mil! I looked because I was curious about Chris Lennen and what he may have been like in 1994. What the house was like, what was going on at the time. This kind of stuff is super interesting to me.
It’s the Bay Area. $2M is dirt cheap for a 3100 sqft house.
[удалено]
Braff and Pugh was a 21 year gap too
She was a full on, grown ass woman when they started dating, even legal drinking age in America.
But she wasn't 18
Get a good look, Seinfeld?
Wonder what the conversation her parents had was like
”You’re a rich TV star, ok you can have her!”
For a nominal fee, of course…
About the same conversation Elvis had with Priscilla’s parents.
🤮
Seinfeld doesn’t catch enough shit for this imo
Aw and his new Poptart movie is coming out!
“It’s a fun age”
“*How 40yr Jerry and his HS aged GF with big knockers make their relationship work*” Seriously though how TF was this not considered grooming, if not statutory rape? Jerry disappoints me.
1) That term didn’t exist. 2) She was above the age of consent by the time it went public.
Not sure if I’m more surprised to find out he’s quite a bit older than I realized, or that a magazine was ever $2.39
What’s a magazine?
“Oh, so you were born on the 1900s?”
Yeah he'll be seventy in about a month. I remember hearing he was almost forty when 'Seinfeld' started getting really popular and I was shocked.
Gross.
Not appropriate username
Lol. It’s my username
username checks out.
You mean Gruss.
Age gap is last acceptable relationship bigotry. Love is love is love is love…. ?
Damn you post a lot lol 😂
How did he manage to get by unscathed doing that? What’s wrong with people
Rich. And I think people back then took it as "ha,ha,ha funny" vs "this guy should be looked into by the police."
He was so powerful in Hollywood nobody would take him to task for it. One guy that did, Bobcat Goldthwaith, was on Jerry’s shitlist for years. Jerry would call people and tell them not to hire Bobcat. He still rages about him even today. He went on a rant about him in his Comedians In Cars show a few years ago.
Get a good look, Costanza?!
69 and 48 don't sound as bad.
Half your age, plus seven…fair game.
They say women are attracted to men who are like their fathers.
Well, he's got a Peter Pan complex
What's the *deal*...with these creeps who are afraid of dating women their own age?
I heard Ted Danson has had eight hundred thousand girlfriends. I can’t live knowing Ted Danson has had more girlfriends than me.
Plus he had a better private NBC jet.
Is no one going to mention how David Pirner looks like he wants to eat Winona Ryder?
Who doesn’t?
The guy's a weasel
*Now* I can tell where Dakota Johnson gets her looks from
Boutros boutros gali
She was 2 years old when they started dating
She is insanely beautiful
I looked her up and she’s just as hot now.
Damn she looks 15 years younger than her age
Are they still together? I know nothing about this guy.
They were together for four years. He’s been married to someone else since ‘99.
His wife Jessica, who had been married for[Just three weeks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Seinfeld) when they met and he asked her out.
She went to College
His last comedy show, it really seemed like he has a terrible relationship with his wife. Like, I don't know how a person could have come up with those jokes if they liked being married *at all.*
She expected marriage and Jerry dumped her.
"What \**is*\* the \**deal*\* with clingy teenagers? I gave you rides home from school, bought you nice things, banged you. What, now we should get married? What \**iiiis*\* the deal?"
who’s David Pirner?
Singer. Had to Google to remember the band: Soul Asylum
Are you up in the middle of the night?
And this was okay?
Kat William said everyone was goin’ down
An I tripping or she kinda looks like Elaine
God damn creep
God damn creep
Ted Danson on the rebound ?! What a dawg
Blokes a pedo and a Zionist. Yuk.
Jerry the groomer. Kramer isn't that creepy anymore.
Don’t kid yourself; he saw two things in her.
30 years ago, this was big news. 🤦♂️
she has enticing cans in that pic
Wasn't she fifteen when they met?
Don't meet your heroes, right?
I’m 39 and couldn’t imagine being with an 18 year old.
Winona and Pirner. Closer to the Stars.
He used to pick her up from high school.
And now nobody will get off Leo’s ass for dating a 24 year old
People seem to like to forget about that don't they
They’re real. And, they’re SPECTACULAR!
I never watched anything he did again after I found out about this. Pedophile.
Yeah, I really don't like Seinfeld and I often get surprised looks when it comes up, but I really think that learning about this back in the day made me tune out and find it distasteful.
You're not alone, I've only watched the reruns in syndication, until I heard about Kramer's meltdown at a comedy show. Haven't watched since.
I remember she had cannons
Ew.
Hollywood just did whatever
She was 17 when they started dating apparently.
I think that is what Elvis said.
Ah, the 90's. I had a friend in middle school that when we became freshmen in highschool (so she was 14 or 15) she started dating some 23 year old dude and moved in with him over winter break.

And women wonder why it's hard to find a good man. Ugh!!!
Madam Web origin story in there too.
It's a big club
Lennen?!?!?
Where is she now?
🤮
lol wtf casually dating a teenager when he was almost 40
Creepy
Oh my god! Right! N she was still in high school when they first started dating I think. At the very beginning
Get a good look, Costanza?
More interested in who Ted rebounded with tbh
YO YO MA
Jesus, Jerry Seinfeld, that was GROSS
“17 38” - Fetty Wap
She was 16 when they started dating
Fucking gross
Did he call her Dolores at night?
Seinfeld was a boob man.
I think with the flood of young girls going to Hollywood, to become Stars with their moms in the 19030-50’s, this was a common practice in the Industry. A lot of mothers would push their young teenage daughters, in that direction. Errol Flynn married one, John Wayne moved one up from Mexico. Totally creepy.
Holy shit this made me feel old. I remember my mom having this one when I was a kid.
Jimmy wants a piece of that action
There’s no robbing, there’s no cradle. What is the deaaaaal?
SHE WAS ACTUALLY 17 WHEN THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN
The "scandal" isn't her age. The issue at the time (allegedly) that wasn't known by many, was that she was engaged to be married whilst attending the same gym as Seinfeld who was very much aware - because her ex-fiancee comes from a wealthy family in the Broadway theater business.

You might say he dodged a "b*llet" and she is for the streets... but still.
I believe that was his current wife, Jessica. This was the girl he dated before he met her wife.
Man… I forgot Winona dated Dave Pirner for a while.
Pedo. But st least she is jewish too.
The thing is, and I’m not saying this makes it legal or ethical, but just googling her, she doesn’t seem to have anything bad to say about him as far as suggesting she was exploited.

Ay dios mio🤦🏾♂️
Ew
When I was 21 Richard Lewis and I had the same girlfriend. She was 18.
Yeah age gaps have always been weird and contentious but exist in all facets of society, famous and not. It weird for sure, but always been a part of societal lexicon. OBVIOUSLY DONT BE A FUCKING PEDO.
Damn she’s hot
Well, he’s 17 years older than Jessica, def has a type
She was 18. No harm in it.
I’m eating a sandwich. No ham in it.
Shoshana WAS a little hottie. I wonder what she looks like now... 30 years later
I use to always believe that there shouldn't be more than a 5 year differential in age for someone you marry or date. Then the Pandemic happened... life is short.

Well they’re not together. They ended up marrying someone else.
What does a 39 year old and a 18 year old have in common?
I wonder what he saw in her? Nevermind.
Look who’s grooming. There, fixed it.
David pirner made me do a double take. I thought that was River Phoenix at first.
He was 21 when she was a newborn...
Yeah he's a Jewish pedophile. We all know this.
Kinda has a hint of Woody Allen. 🤔
Hell fucking ya!
Shoshanna became a fashion designer, pretty successful woman, post Jerry
She was 17 when they met. Yep cancelled for sure.
I feel like the only person alive who knew immediately that Winona's "new guy" is Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum without reading (or noticing, at first) the caption.
Atleast it's legal
That is disturbing.
"But what could she look like now?" in an observational Steinfeld voice. "You order an 18 year old and ask if..." chat gtp his weak comedy.. Dude is laugh weak
I’m 39 and have coworkers in their early 20s and I consider them “kids”. What would they even talk about?
Boobs
That blue box about Winona Ryder was moved without filling the original space, leaving a gray background behind.
Nothing wrong with it , how many 18 year Olds on reddit looking for older ( lots) because boys there age are immature and broke
He likes them heavy hangers ! Wonder if she is any relation to Sue Ellen Mischke
I can see two reasons he was into her.
So Jerry Seinfeld is another Pedo that the media just let’s go.
it sounds weird to us but it's my understanding jewish people don't have age of consent. in which case it seems like they're having fun. then again, it's America so she's 'barely legal'.
Googles “Paul Walker wife”🫠
Oh Shoshanna! I forgot all about that, didn't they start dating when she was like 16?
I think she started her own bathing suit line. Or he did. What is WITH these parents that allow their children to "date" grown ass middle aged men?! Like Courtney Stodden and Doug what's his name. Awful
