‘Winnie the Pooh’ Disney Voice Star Jim Cummings Accused of Rape, Animal Abuse (See Staff Post) [update 12 May: Claims victory in custody battle]

There will be horrible humans who post on Era. Maybe not now but when they're older. Or maybe now. By which I mean - humans have been doing hideous things to other humans and animals since there have been humans. Which is to say I'm unsurprised when someone appears to be a piece of shit. It's expected and never ending.
Jesus, hope she gets some justice. Hopefully this blowing up lights a fire under the cops.
Oh God, not Him Cummings too. That is really fucked up since he outright admitted it.
Now it's even harder for me to watch any Winnie the Pooh material.

Cummings is THAT GUY when it comes to voice acting. Unbelievably prolific.
This thread certainly took me aback.

Reminder that these are serious allegations. Don't joke or make light of the situation. Thank you.

Brutal beyond belief. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are both treasures to me and that's not even getting into his massive library of work.
Wanted to purchase Christopher Robin so I could watch it with my Mom, but I think I'll hold off on that for now.
It just seems quite dramatic, especially in light of the fact that the victim's kids childhood's were actually ruined.
No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't characterize watching Dark Wing Duck and other movies as a kid as funding a rapist. If this guy was a broke nobody he would still be raping and attempting to control his partner. Me watching TV 20yrs ago doesn't have anything to do with his crime.
Damn, another one? Fuck man.
now im reading these other quotes holy shit wtf is up with this guy
oh my god
now im reading these other quotes holy shit wtf is up with this guy
Get "Goodbye Chistopher Robin" instead. Different tone, obviously, but still highly enjoyable.
Jesus fuck. Hope everything turns out as okay as possible for her and her children. Boys about to get the boot from Disney. Nothing really lost either, there are plenty out there with literal perfect impressions of these characters.
Yeah me too assuming this article is accurate in regards to the police reports filed and stuff. Small correction on my part, she filed a restraining order after the first incident apparently. The alleged rape was the police report. Here's the direct quote:
And:
First of all, hitting a puppy to the point where they break a hip bone and leaving said puppy out in a container 'unfortunately forgot about' (in his own words in an email, self admitted evidence in regards to the second incident is not a good look) is not even remotely comparable to slamming the cupboard and yelling at his ex, are you kidding me?
Second, no idea what the PDA part is supposed to mean but as with the above quotes to the other poster the police report as well as the two DV restraining orders would be easy enough to confirm. As well as the incidents regarding him showing up to the rehab center, the off duty cop, and any vet bills which could be corroborated for a much stronger case. A good lawyer would contact those facilities and people for documentation. And journalists could easily confirm if those reports/incidents are true or not.
But also for the bare minimum of confirmation of something possibly here:
'In contact' sounds current and ongoing to me but that's just my interpretation.
I also feel like you're ignoring the fact that she already won the divorce case (apparently) since she gets child support payments from him. The unwanted sexual contact happened post-divorce. She wants 100 percent custody and possibly no contact with the children. It feels a bit disingenuous to use the Johnny Depp case to me since the circumstances here are you know... Kinda different?
I'm not saying The Blast can be wrong or that divorce proceedings are "he said, she said" but the fact that two of those incidents are uncontested by Cummings (though claiming exaggerated circumstances or 'the dog turned out alright') doesn't look good. As well as the fact that child services had to come into this and already has a case. Plus she won the divorce before and receives child support.
Who knows though? I'm just saying this looks way more legit to me. Either way we'll probably get more information later like you said so whatever. Hopefully a major news site will investigate the claims and confirm some stuff.
Wow, I was just alerted to his Twitter feed and it's...something. Even without these allegations, it would've changed my view of him for the worse. In between screaming at people like Chelsea Handler and AOC, he's dropping typo-riddled hornfests at Twitch streamers.

Not Facebook but this is one of his recent Twitter posts:
It reads exactly like a trump post.
This is incredibly upsetting. I could probably name over 100 characters he has voiced that I seriously love. So much of his work has been inspirational to me too...
I feel so bad for his family. Even if a lot of this ends up being faked he sounds like an absolute bastard.

God fucking dammit!
I express hating the sentiment finding out that this celebrity you looked up to for years turned out to be a piece of shit!
Darkwing Duck, Pooh and SatAM Robotnik. The list goes on. I'll never hear those voices the same way again!
Disney should seriously do an investigation there!
Edit: And he's right wing too?! WTF?!

This. I was following him on Twitter because I'm the biggest Darkwing Duck fan around, but I couldn't stand his Tweets and retweets. Just incredibly stupid stuff.
I was actually disappointed when he got to voice Darkwing Duck again in the DuckTales reboot. This just makes it even worse.
Fuck, today was already a bad enough day. I did not need to learn Jim Cummings was a Trump-loving rapist.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
