Jerry Seinfeld’s week of difficult appearances continues, this time in Virginia.
As soon as Seinfeld took the stage for a stand-up comedy set at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on Saturday night, a man in the audience jumped up and yelled, “Free Gaza,” TMZ reported. The audience immediately began booing the heckler and chanting “Jerry! Jerry!” as another bystander wrestled the protester into a headlock.
Security escorted the man out of the building, but the show was interrupted by other protesters eight times throughout its 90-minute run.
The controversy around Seinfeld’s views stems from his vocal support of Israel — which he visited following the Oct. 7 attacks — and his wife’s $5,000 donation to a GoFundMe for pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA after a late April protest turned violent.
Seinfeld didn’t seem bothered by the interruptions, telling the crowd not to boo the man because he had a right to protest.
“This is exciting. I like this,” the comic said as the original protester was escorted out of the venue. “I like a little Jew hate to spice up the show.”
And just like that, I lost all respect for him.
Not the time he dated a highschooler when he was 38?
I’m 40. I cannot FATHOM what conversations he had with a girl who wouldn’t have even been born when his show went off the air.
Damn, was not aware of that.
It seems it was almost a month before her 18th.

Who tf cares. That’s not the point, being 38 with an 18yo is weird regardless of legality.
I would think if the majority of people agreed with you, he’d have been cancelled hard already, but nobody really seems to care except the vocal minority of terminally online nerds with even more questionable minds
That’s when he admitted it. We don’t know how old she was when it started.
They met at his game nights, right?
Was that before or after the Bee Movie?
You’re not gonna trick me into doing math
Found the legal loophole justified into sleeping with an 18 year old.
Anytime people would get upset, and ask “do you know how much older you are than her???”
He would just reply “You’re not gonna trick me into doing math!!!”
