Artie Lange has people outraged with his comments about First Take host Cari Champion. The comedian took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his lust for Champion in a series of explicit tweets. They’re too over-the-top to post here, but long story short, he painted a picture of a sexual fantasy involving slavery. Yeah, pretty messed up.
People were understandably upset. His comments were way out of bounds and Champion deserves better. She doesn’t flaunt her looks, and she’s certainly never said anything that would make her deserving of the messages sent her way from Lange. Champion is a true pro.
Lange, however, is not a true pro in general. But he is a true pro when it comes to filthy comedy. That’s what he does. Most people will find no humor in what he said. But for a small niche group, his tweets were hilarious.
Regardless, his comments have now cost him his appearance on @midnight. He’s also apologized to Champion. But for everyone else who was offended, no dice.
But who cares. I love the show & it’s my living but who cares. These groups have won again. All I care about is @CariChampion Truly
