‘BEEF’ is one of the best shows I’ve seen… ever. But as much as I loved the show, I can't talk about it without addressing David Choe. Video of a 2014 conversation has resurfaced which shows David telling the story of how he forced a Black masseuse to perform sexual acts on him.
David fantasized about “the thrill of possibly going to jail” and he called himself “a successful rapist.”

In a 2017 statement, David said the story was fabricated and he has zero history of sexual assault.
Even *if* the story was made up, the fact that David so casually fantasized about going to jail and openly discussed assaulting a Black woman is shameful and rooted in anti-Blackness.

ENOUGH: I'm talking to many journalists who are tired of being threatened, doxxed, intimidated, and in some cases, violently assaulted by aggressive activists or dare I say it, "Antifa." But journos like me and @MrAndyNgo should not have to walk alone.

It’s time for journalists and other news outlets to make a decision. Either we sit passively on the sidelines, or we publicly condemn the threats and violence. I am calling on industry friends like @rcfp @aaja @spj_tweets @pressfreedom @uspresstracker @FTVLive to do the same.
With the warmer months ahead of us in Seattle, we are going to see more protests. Most of it will be peaceful. But when certain actors choose to block our cameras with umbrellas, physically assault us, and prevent us from shining a light on the truth, that’s a problem. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
