Jackass star Steve-O has shared on why he changed his mind on getting breast implants, which he first announced in July was part of a series of planned pranks.
The stunt would have involved Steve-O getting his "whole body waxed", with all his tattoos removed via airbrush, and losing weight to "get really slender and petite". Steve-O would then attend a motorcycle rally attempting to capture "big gangs of motorcycle riders" checking him out before he reveals his real identity. "I would walk up to pull off my helmet and say, 'Yeah, dude,' and get this crazy reaction, which, predictably, would be contentious," he shares.
It was this part of the plan that the person Steve-O spoke with found troubling – as the act of deliberately tricking men into thinking he's a woman was planned so he could get footage of being "beaten up at the motorcycle rally", which he previously explained in July is part of doing a "funny endurance" stunt.
“The show still has a bunch of really good comedy from that whole episode. And the extent to which I was prepared to go through with that is hilarious in its own right.”
No, it's not. It's fucking unhinged, jackass.
My mother is politically transphobic, but she like best friends with all my LGBT friends and it's weird. Like when she actually has to interface with people she is lovely and accepting, but the second Tucker Carlson says something she just accepts it without contrasting it with her lived experience.
