Comedian Bill Maher went on a blistering tirade against “woke” ideology, saying that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “wasn’t wrong” when he called out Disney for sexualizing children, and that liberals were willing to “overlook” it because it was a Republican who spoke out.
The host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” delved into the shocking revelations from Max documentary, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” during his latest episode Friday.
“OMG. Nickelodeon? It wasn’t a studio, it was Neverland Ranch with craft services,” Maher said.
Bill Maher said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “wasn’t wrong” when he criticized Disney for sexualizing children.
*** and ***
Maher said Nickelodeon isn’t all that different than Disney, citing a report that showed a slew of workers at the Mouse House, too, had been arrested for sex crimes against kids.
“A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children. And in 2021, Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline. The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age,” he said.

“Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood. It’s a small world, after all,” the comedian deadpanned. “DeSantis wasn’t wrong! But we’re so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f—ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.”

Bill Maher is like Piers Morgan in my book. I don’t always agree with their politics, but I listen when they “hit one out of the park”.
In this case, Maher is “right over the target” to chastise those who would absolve child predators because they are of the correct party.
Sounds like Nickelodeon, Disney, and Hollywood in general need a “colonoscopy” level investigation of all the allegations and convictions.
Some long prison sentences and “banishments” need to be handed out with lots of publicity.
Argh!
