Ep 8 - EP 8 "Breaking the Silence on 'BEEF' actor David Choe"
Manage episode 361261685 series 2847785
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains sexual references that some might find disturbing.
Netflix series "BEEF" came out of the gates in early April with such explosiveness that everyone who watched it was breathless, especially the API community who has been championing media representation that doesn't feed into stereotypes and tropes. But then, a story so disturbing and horrific resurfaced about cast member David Choe who plays Issac Cho in the series. His descriptive admission on his own podcast back in 2014 that he raped a massage therapist has sent shock waves every which way. But strangely, back in 2014 when his show aired, this graphic account of what Choe did didn't really go anywhere and clearly didn't impact his career. Will it be different this time? Will more people in Hollywood and beyond finally grow a spine and take a public stand against this kind of grotesque behavior or will the story just get swept under the rug again? May, Kelly and Tamlyn have A LOT to say about this topic and, as you can imagine, they DO NOT hold back.
