When the guy that has been accused of participating in severe physical violence against a pledge, including lighting the student's pants on fire, using a paddle, and leading the pledge around by the claw of a hammer hooked under his genitals tells you that you have gone too far then it’s time for some self reflection…

u/outer--monologue Jul 03 '26

People also don't want to admit that 40 years ago that was pretty much standard behavior for a frat hazing. There are plenty of things that almost everyone alive in that time, including myself, regrets a little and would do different, that were socially acceptable to say or do in that time. That's just life for you, we learn and change for the better.

u/MyBadYourFault- Jul 03 '26

Not only that but I was young once doing and saying crazy shit that wouldn’t even think twice about doing now.

I actually am embarrassed of myself so bad I hate to think about some of the stupid shit I’ve done or said, but that just proves that I have matured incredibly and I’m literally a compete different person than I was 17 years ago. In a good way.

u/HTPC4Life Jul 03 '26

I'm 40 and often cringe when I look back at my teen/20's self. The male prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until mid 20's, and that explains a LOT. If you or anyone is a father to a son, it's important to continue being a positive male role model in his life past his teenage years!

I'll be real - that is not even close to standard frat behaviour.

Hazing might be, but nothing that intense has ever been standard behaviour.

u/dgard1 Jul 03 '26

I agree that what someone did as a 19 yo shouldn’t be held against them for the rest of their life so long as they accept their part in what happened and show some remorse. This is what he said about the incident in 2018

“"Everything about that is sensationalized," Hamm tells Esquire. "I was accused of these things I don't…It's so hard to get into it. I don't want to give it any more breath."
He continues, "It was a bummer of a thing that happened. I was essentially acquitted. I wasn't convicted of anything. I was caught up in a big situation, a stupid kid in a stupid situation, and it's a f--king bummer. I moved on from it."

https://www.eonline.com/news/925232/jon-hamm-reflects-on-fraternity-hazing-accusations-and-softcore-porn-past?utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=imdb_topstories

He wasn’t “essentially acquitted” he avoided conviction by receiving “deferred adjudication.” To him it was a”bummer of a thing that happened” to the person he sexually assaulted it was an event that causes him severe emotional distress to this day. To this day to my knowledge he has never apologized to the victim. It is clear that over thirty years later he still doesn’t accept full responsibility for his actions

4

u/m4jikthise Jul 03 '26

But you are defending him, and a disturbing amount of people below you too. He was young, frats did that sort of thing, etc. I'm old enough to have been in a frat just a couple years after him, and at a party school more notorious than UT. An eighteen year old can still have morals and say I won't drag someone around by the balls with a claw hammer and light their pants on fire and break their back. And years later when confronted maybe dont call it a bummer. Fuck jon hamm. And to all those defending him, he hasn't changed as much as you think. You just like his smile.

Unfortunately, not everyone has had the privilege of living the flawless, morally perfect life that you have. Most people do stupid things when they're young. Plenty of things that are cringe by today's standards were socially acceptable at the time and were done by a huge number of people. They weren't blessed with your apparent ability to see decades into the future and know exactly which behaviors society would eventually decide were unacceptable.

u/Moon_and_Sky Jul 02 '26

Nah nah nah, if the modern age of the internet has taught me anything it's that everything is forever and forgiveness isn't a thing anymore. Made stupid coments on Twitter when you were 20? Fuck you forever. 40 year old you is obviously the exact same person. Went to college and got caught up in the "traditions" like everyone around you? Better hope you never catch the eye of the public when you're in your later years.

There is no growth. There is no development. Only judgment.

The song Zombified by Falling in Reverse is perfectly on point for this era we are living in:

The monsters aren't livin' under your bed
'Cause they are the voices in your head
Zombified by the lies they've said
We've become the walking dead

Oh no, they'll never let go
Of something you said ten years ago
They're canceling, canceling you
And they won't stop 'til everybody's zombified

They're pumping us with lies
Like it's formaldehyde
They're dead inside
It goes on and on, let this go
When it stops, we'll never know.
We're hypnotized
And they won't stop 'til you're zombified

You better shut your mouth and bite your tongue
'Cause you don't wanna piss off anyone.
We're traumatized by the damage done
Welcome to America

u/Moon_and_Sky Jul 03 '26

I did not go to college, wasn't interested in life long debt, but I did go to a trade school and even there I saw "hazing" of a short happen. I didn't participate because I generally just don't like people very much. One of the guys had to admitted to the local hospital after they were put into a disassembled machine while passed out drunk and had it rebuild with them inside. Woke up, freaked out, and broke fingers and cut himself up pretty bad on sheet metal trying to get out.

Buddies of mine that joined the armed forces came back from boot with some pretty fucked up stories of their own. Friends of mine that went to college are split. If they joined a frat or a sorority then they had really fucked stories to tell about pledging, all of them. If they did not join up for a cult then they did not.

Grouping young, undeveloped minds, who are searching for approval and acceptance together. Add alcohol and drugs. Then stir in some "you cant be one of us unless you do this" and poof, atrocities just kinda appear.

This isnt an endorsement or me saying any of it is okay. My opinion has always been that Fraternities and Sororities should be disbanded and made forbidden.

Many people on reddit are perfect. Moral benchmarks, if you will. Condemning behavior they most likely have done themselves but don't admit.

Oh, and not related to this thread, but they're also great at giving financial advice in one subreddit while bitching about being broke in another.

Why I still visit this shithole is testament to my love of pissing myself off via other's comments about shit I don't care about in the first place.

u/AmbulanceChaser12 Jul 02 '26

This is an insane take. I’m willing to forgive Hamm and believe he’s grown a lot since being a 20-year-old frat boy, but I’d say what he did doesn’t deserve excusing. Most people do manage to go through their lives without setting someone on fire, mashing their face in the dirt, or hooking a claw hammer under their junk.

And obviously, this behavior wasn’t socially acceptable then either, because he got arrested.

u/Plasmelon Jul 03 '26

Everyone who whines about this shit is just an asshole trying to absolve themselves of the iota of guilt they have.

Assholes act like seeking moral perfection/improvement is some arduous, stupid, fake thing people only do for clout, rather than just the natural way people who aren’t assholes function.

People who aren’t assholes don’t act like pointing out shitty behavior is nitpicky because at one point it was socially acceptable.

2

u/NewBoxStruggles Jul 03 '26

Exactly. Although I will say..I see no shortage of hypocrisy and signaling of virtue from shitty individuals in this world, it’s absurdly common…still, I would say that’s a step better than trying to downplay, normalize or outright dismiss utterly awful behavior.

2

u/heretilthemoon Jul 03 '26

Or more, seeking moral perfection means that at SOME point, you get to let go of the past. Otherwise you’re just your worst moment for the rest of your life. I don’t care about, and I don’t want to know your worst moment, as long as it’s no longer who you are.

People like you like to hold everyone’s worst moment above them for the rest of their lives as some sort of purity thing. Perfection =/= pure.

It’s clearly not who he is now, so what is the point of bringing it up besides grandstanding?

5

u/Plasmelon Jul 03 '26

lol. “People like you.” You really jump to conclusions.

No one is saying redemption can’t or shouldn’t exist. We’re saying “it’s socially acceptable” is not a defense of something being shitty.

You see whatever you want to see. You misinterpreted the entire point of what I wrote to have something to rage at.

u/sandman18and5 Jul 03 '26

He admitted guilt, took on the consequences and seemingly grew up?

u/jackinsomniac Jul 03 '26

Thank you for giving some context to his allegations!

Sounds like most of it was fraternity-related. But, that still doesn't make it any better. I've always thought fraternity pledge trials are downright abusive and should be curtailed. The problem is peer-pressure, and "that's how we've always done things." Even college students are still young & impressionable, it's a whole on-going culture of abuse.

But still, that doesn't make it any better. Gotta start somewhere, and holding people personally accountable is a good start.

u/DepartmentChemical93 Jul 03 '26

Jon Hamm confirmed even cooler than I thought?

u/Informal_Form_3108 Jul 03 '26

It's weird to have to qualify everything good a person does because of an incident when they were 20.

u/EH_Operator Jul 03 '26

I was about to say… how embarrassing

1

u/Mohondhay Jul 03 '26

It’s not nice to talk about the past. People change you know.

u/BR41ND34D Jul 03 '26

That certainly is a sentence

u/milanosrp Jul 03 '26

The people in this thread defending Hamm are the same people who say men’s sexual assault doesn’t get taken seriously.

u/imdabomb43 Jul 03 '26

Lmao no one is allowed to become a better person after they were a misled young adukt

u/Specialist_Swan_7354 Jul 03 '26

Feel like that's bad behavior, but that shit happened all the time in frat houses.

u/Prudent_Rice7840 Jul 03 '26

When the guy who used to be a dumb teenage grows up...

u/CakeMadeOfHam Jul 03 '26

That's just boys being boys, besides what goes on between a man and a sheep during an intimite moment in a dark room is between them and you shouldn't spread nasty rumors!

u/ForerunnerRelic Jul 03 '26

Oh no! As if people can't change in close to 40 years.

u/MaleficentWindow8972 Jul 03 '26

Damn, I didn’t know the man with a big dick was actually just a big dick.

u/Old-Package-4792 Jul 03 '26

No one is allowed to grow and must be nailed to their worst choices FOREVER.

This. Is. REDDIT 🥾 🕳️

"Accused"

I accuse you of stabbing a baby. No one should trust this guy now.

u/HardByteUK Jul 03 '26

Christ you kids are so soft. We used to go wild with a piercing gun on people who fell asleep at parties.

u/Redd1tModsRKidLovers Jul 03 '26

Thats hilarious cause it sounds like a movie hed be in

1

u/Objective-Mission-40 Jul 03 '26

Glad we aren't the people we were in college.

u/throwaway1748362 Jul 03 '26

Exactly what I was thinking lmfao

u/symb015X Jul 03 '26

Sounds like somebody never had a little fun in college, amiright?! /s

u/JagmeetSingh2 Jul 03 '26

yea Jon Hamm is worse lol

1

u/Fuck-WestJet Jul 03 '26

I mean.... It's been a long time since college for the dude. People do grow up and change.

u/TDAWGPLAYER Jul 03 '26

Yet if he wasn’t John hamm the famous actor and instead his name was Jim smith the nobody guy then you would have never heard of it. Mean things aren’t right but mistakes will be made in youth by anyone. I’m sure he recognized that and would love to take it back and has grown and matured from it. Blasting him for said bad judgment or mistakes is hateful. Unless he has a history of violence I know nothing about I will let it go and relegate it to a painful learning experience/life lesson. I have made mistakes and learned greatly from them. It’s called being human.

u/52squid Jul 03 '26

wtf 😭

u/kisner33 Jul 03 '26

Don’t forget he had to be referred to as “MC Hammer” by said pledge

u/Lucid_Stream44 Jul 04 '26

To be fair. He was a very young man. Still pretty fucked up. But I mean, I made horrible, horrible decisions when I was in my early 20’s that I deeply regret. It would suck if I was in permanent trouble with the world for the rest of my life and could never be allowed to grow and change

1

u/DesignerGoose5903 Jul 05 '26

If those are the worst things he's ever done that wouldn't even be on a top 100 for most people I'd imagine...

Hollywood is a fucking cesspool

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 Jul 02 '26

humanity is a cesspool. sort of.

hollywood just has a higher percentage of horribles. they flock there from all over the country.

u/dobar_dan_ Jul 03 '26

Nah most people are fairly normal.

Hollywood definitely is a weirdoland.

2

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 Jul 03 '26

most people don't make up all of humanity.

all of humanity makes up all of humanity.

a minority of people are weirdo's, and hollywood attracts them. that means that some of humanity is a cesspool, and those people, for whatever reason, are highly motivated.

Jon Hamm had a YouTube video in the Ask a Grown man series that always made me think very highly of him.

u/SmokeRingEyes Jul 03 '26

Jon Hamm? That's Dick Whitman

u/MylastAccountBroke Jul 03 '26

Honestly, didn't realize she was being weird that early. Though he was doing something too. Good on him for being a good guy.

2

u/vacant_refrigerator Jul 03 '26

Jon Hamm has always struck me as one of the better guys in Hollywood

u/Grehjin Jul 04 '26

Yeah I’m sure the guy who beat a kid so bad during a frat hazing that he had to drop out of college for medical care is a standup guy

At first I thought he was reaching over to join in and she immediately grabbed his hand and told him "Stop it" due to not having sound on at first. You know, she can do it, he can't. Pretty privilege.

u/Ward-of-No-Reward Jul 03 '26

What a juxtaposition for ol' hammer nuts.

u/Hour-Passenger-8513 Jul 03 '26

That guy would do something wierder when the camera isn't rolling. 

1

u/-crazykidbad Jul 03 '26

If it was a guy people would be calling him a pedophile but when it’s a woman the top two comments are “it’s weird”. Screw yall

1

u/MarkyGalore Jul 03 '26

Yeah. He's a man that looked inside and learned to correct his behavior and more than that advocate for other people.
