Elmo Is Off The Hook
The 23-year-old dude who said that he had illegal sex with Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, when he was only 16 has taken everything back and is like, "Just kidding!" Just a day after TMZ said that Kevin Clash temporarily moved out of Sesame Street and is taking a leave of absence to deal with this foolery, the accuser's lawyer issued a statement to The Los Angeles Times and wants everybody to wipe away the images of Elmo laughing something extra while getting tickled by underaged boys.
“He wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship. He will have no further comment on the matter.”
Kevin said from the beginning that he wet humped on his accuser, but his accuser was legal at the time and it was completely consensual. Kevin released his own statement and said that he's glad it's all over. No word on when he will get to stick his hand up Elmo again.
Before you start thinking that the accuser got a little visit from the Sesame Street Mafia (Snuffleupagus, Count Von Count, Rosita and Telly Monster), TMZ is hearing that he might've been paid off. TMZ's sources (aka those Elmo-hating hillbilly Muppets at Fraggle Rock) say that the accuser's lawyer and Kevin's lawyer met today to talk about money. Apparently, Kevin Clash put a 6-figure settlement on the table.
Isn't it funny how you magically get your memory back after sniffing a bunch of cash stuffed into a Big Bird suitcase? The scent of cash really is truth perfume (or lie perfume, depending on the situation). And I bet Oscar the Grouch is happy. Elmo's gay sex scandal has taken the attention away from the dick hole he's got in the back of his trash can. Yeah, so that's why Big Bird is always standing behind Oscar's trash can.

Let's get real. You pay up when you're guilty. Why? To avoid criminal charges. I'm sure Jerry Sandusky paid out hush money too until he messed with the wrong kids. I'd love to be wrong, but any way you slice it, you DON'T pay money to someone who SLANDERED you, especially with an allegation of pedophilia when a children's show is your bread and butter, but you do that shit when you're guilty as fuck.
*********************************
True!
Tickle me Elmo is no more. Elmo will be a new sex costume for grown-ups or pervs.
Maybe the kid was money hungry, but Clash was the idiot who bit the apple.
***************************************
Exactly! Elmo knows his career is fucked either way. BUT the ONLY reason to settle a case like this is to avoid criminal charges, period. Why fuck your career over AND hand out a bundle of cash if you're not guilty? This will follow him for the rest of his life.

MK, you are truly a gifted writer. That last paragraph:) The best.
Too escandolo. Kevin is DONE on Sesame Street and should call U-haul now.
The accuser is a dumbass if he took less than 500k.
P.S. I always found this particular Sesame Street skit terrifying - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yiqGtZXCmQ

He admitted it was a relationship AFTER the payout. That was a condition of the settlement. What's a 40 something doing fucking some teenager? It's sex abuse and he deserves to pay a settlement at the very least.

If the guy was 18, he is considered a legal adult by law. Even legally it's not "sex abuse" unless it was forced, and I don't think it was. Despite the age declination between Kevin and this guy, he was of legal age. teen or not, the law saw him responsible for his actions, meaning he was of legal age to consent. Just because he was/is young doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to greedy and manipulative.

Wheeew Lol!!
With a large pay out like this, It is still hard to know if it were true or not although I am leaning towards that it wasnt.
It really is too bad that this happened to one of the SS characters, but I have to say that I never liked Elmo. I remember first when he came on the scene (and had a different voice), I thought he was so annoying and not as interesting as most of the others. So, if they have Elmo get adopted by a family in Sweden or if he gets some fatal disease, I wouldnt care that much.

Exactly. He had to pay because he was guilty.
Okay, but I will admit that Kevin will still get serious side eyes from me. However, I hate a money grubbing whore, and what goes around comes around. Trick better sleep with one eye open.
Agree with everyone else: dude's career is ovah. Hope he stashed away a few more six figure bills.

I can't imagine that he's going to be allowed to keep doing the Elmo gig after this 24hr long scandal. These old heads need to stop thinking that just because someone is young they don't know how to hustle for the big payout when the little payouts stop coming.

I can just see a blue, red, yellow, green car pulling up on a fog soaked bridge at night time. The door opens, a giant foot emerges and steps down on the wet ground as Big Bird slowly gets out of the car. He struggles with a 5 foot suitcase bulging with brightly coloured bills sticking out all sides. The Count gets out too, handgun hanging just under his black cape to shadow Big Bird as he makes his way to the middle of the bridge to meet the payoff and all the while Cookie Monster with a much too small cap pulled down low on his eyes keeps the car running ready to bail them out if the shit gets crazy and jumps off on them.
i'm viewing the settlement as the cost of the stfu agreement -- no interviews, no book, no "i fucked elmo and all i got was this lousy t shirt" t shirt sales, no soup for you ...
ETA: cost of stfu agmt re their consensual relationship, not as an admission of guilt

These days the accusation is worse than evidence of guilt.

I love Jayzus but I drink a little.
I don't think Elmo was invented when the highly lauded masterpiece "Follow that Bird" came out, but I suddenly need to watch it again. Maybe this weekend.
That kind of stings that he had to pay after he was accused publicly.
Has anyone read the e-mails on Gawker? Clash was all over that guy. Clash's career is through.

Okay. But the damage has been done. It's gonna be hard for him to bounce back after that.

I'm not one to call lie telling on someone who claims to be a victim of something, but this guy admitted, that it was a relationship, and not forced, which in my opinion is worse. However, what gave me the stink eye, was that this dude, NOW 23 years old, didn't go to the police, but to the heads of seseame street and tried to get this guy in trouble, why? What can they legally do to punish him? Besides fire him I guess? That's what made me think, yea, homeboy is just in it for the dough. I hate when people do this, because innocent people get their names ruined, and real victims of sex crimes have it THAT MUCH HARDER for people to believe them. Fuck this scum bag.

This is why I'm such a cynic when kids claim molestation...especially when it involves anyone with money.

I hope the victim made him pay dearly. Sick of geezers trying to run up on the young. Go look for someone your own age.
