I want to wait until more comes out, but that is some crazy allegation if so.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
It's really depressing. This guy is great with kids and has even granted dying wishes. I hope it's a false accusation.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
According to this article he admits to the relationship but says the man was legal at the time.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
Kevin Clash seemed like such a great guy in his documentary. It seems this might just be a money grab.I hope this gets sorted out soon.Clash has become an important part of Sesame Street.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
if Clash is not denying it and then saying that the guy was of legal age, then in the words of Kurt Angle...
"it's true... oh, it's TRUE!"

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
Meh, Jim Henson company paid him hush money me thinks to make this story go away.
I'm not saying Clash did anything illegal, but Sesame or whoever with the deep pockets opened them up. Clearly there was SOMETHING behind this story.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
It sounds like a classic case of an angry ex-boyfriend doing his best to get revenge. He knew there was nothing more devastating to a children's show performer than an allegation of sexual abuse, so that's what he went for. It wouldn't be the first time that happened and it won't be the last.

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
Hell, that kind of sexual abuse would devastate all but the most grimy career.

But I think the news is pretty obviously means it was a payoff to get this guy to recant. However, honestly it wouldn't surprise me if someone else played Elmo in the future. But I can see how this might make parents nervous.

 Forget Elmo, NOW my childhood is ruined. Not even the knowledge that Lucille Bluth voiced Fran can fix this one...

Re: Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash facing underage relationship scandal
It's always guys who are in the closet, or halfway in the closet, that this kind of stuff happens to. There's a lesson here somewhere.
