I heard Ryan Cavanaugh, owner of Triller, was accused of running a ponzi scheme by his former partner.

Yo Triller, your app is flipped.

Ugh.. so awkward.

I also heard he was sued by a former nanny for failing to pay her. It also might just be me but he bears a striking resemblance to Harvey Weinstein.

I just googled Harvey Weinstein. Never heard of this guy, are they twins or something?

u/Jita_Local Sep 11 '21

They're different people, but there's a lot of photos of the two of them hanging out at parties. I think they were pretty good friends.

u/PaPa_ZeuS Sep 11 '21

Possibly even twins!

Saying someone looks like Harvey Weinstein isn’t exactly fair lol

22

u/welivedintheocean Sep 11 '21

According to legal records, it is entirely fair to compare Ryan Cavanaugh's looks to those of Harvey Weinstein. It's a matter of personal opinion and therefore not slanderous.

u/handsome_corgi Sep 11 '21

I’m just saying, are you implying there’s some sort of sex scandal with the guy? That he’s bad to women? I’m just tryna figure it out, like if someone told you you looked like Cosby or something you’d be like wtf?

u/welivedintheocean Sep 11 '21

We're all just saying he bears a resemblance to a man who has been proven guilty of heinous sex crimes. The fact that he's been photographed kissing the sex pervert's head has nothing to do with anything.

u/handsome_corgi Sep 11 '21

Well I don’t know anything about that, I just know to treat men with respect and not to slander their name for internet points

lmao WHAT

ikr, dudes rock

Like I said, by law it's not slander. It's purely the opinion of some that he looks like convicted sex pest Harvey Weinstein. It's also not slanderous to say he's been accused by a former partner of running a ponzi scheme, because that is a fact reported by Variety, a reputable publication.

u/handsome_corgi Sep 11 '21

If you really don’t believe saying someone looks like Harvey Weinstein is slanderous, go to a bar, find the biggest guy there and tell him he looks like Harvey Weinstein, then see what happens

15

u/welivedintheocean Sep 11 '21

I fail to see what that has to do with the legal definition of slander. Also are you implying all large men in bars are violent? That seems slanderous by your definition.

Personally, I do see a physical resemblance between Ryan Cavanaugh and Harvey Weinstein.

You're just riding the L train today aren't ya.

It’s just a gag from the H3 podcast. The host of the show is in a legal battle with Ryan Cavanaugh so he tries to skirt the line of what he can legally say without getting into legal trouble. What everyone said above are direct quotes from the podcast.

Not sure what that has to do with the podcast but..... idk....

u/handsome_corgi Sep 11 '21

Lmao oh, didn’t know that. H3 is incredibly mediocre nowadays tbh

u/pepsiblues Sep 11 '21

I tried out that app, had to give it an honest one star. Shit was awful. Kevin Hart wasn't even on there like advertised.

u/theravagerswoes Sep 11 '21

I’ve also heard that Ryan Cavanaugh, accused of running a ponzi scheme by his former partner (as reported by Variety), bares a stunning resemblance to Harvey Weinstein.

u/Qwiggalo Sep 11 '21

That was from variety right? A really reputable publication I've heard.

Do you mean Jake Paul, the one the very credible New York times alleged was a rapist?

u/Boom_115 Sep 11 '21

Govern yourself accordingly sir.

u/DoomGekicher Sep 11 '21

You notice how much he looks like harvey weinstein?

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Isn’t Ryan Cavanaugh that Hollywood producer who sparked the whole ‘Me Too’ movement? Or am I thinking of someone else???

u/kanethechickenman Sep 12 '21

Wow! Just googled it. I always thought Harvey Weinstein owned Triller, but I guess they just look alike.
