RIP Mike Bullard

[Phil C. McNasty]

Nothing says more about people than when they talk about someone who just passed away.

@Jenesis likes to dance on people's graves. Why am I not surprised though

Really???? Because I’m the only one who commented on this thread right????

Once again, men on this board are allowed to make comments, some more harsh than mine as mine was neutral on feeling and more about facts, but I’m the bad one????

Sexist much Philly? Why am I not surprised …..

You mad?? We are (like you always say) just debating, remember??

Debating the discussion at hand and personally try to say negative things against me are two different things and you know that.

But no, I’m not mad. Just point out your sexist behaviour and that of some other members in this thread after making comments directly to me and not other men saying the same or worse. You specifically mentioned me did you not?

But if you want to actually debate facts and the discussion of Bullard - what are your personal opinions about his death or his harassment and breach charges? Wanting to keep it to discussion/debate about Mike and all…..

 

[silentkisser]

Exactly. He plead guilty to harassment. And plead guilty to continuing to contact her after he was order by a court not to.

Criminal harassment and and harassing communication is still a form of harassment

Either way - he had means to fight it and he didn’t. If he didn’t have the means, then maybe he should have saved better. Either way - later Mikey.

I'm not certain he had the means. I mean, he made Canadian TV money....I don't know how he spent it, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't super successful after his Global show got cancelled.

But I agree with you. He was sick. Couldn't handle rejection and became a threat to someone for MANY years. He's lucky he didn't get sent to prison. Now, I vaguely recall watching his CTV show back in the day. I liked the fact that they were trying something that Canada hasn't had before, a late night talk show. It has some humorous moments, but it was lacking compared to even Jimmy Fallon....

I did find it funny that he jumped ship from CTV to Global and was a bomb that only lasted 13 weeks....Did not bring his audience....

His wife took 1/2 and then some….plus “Canadian TV money” you’re correct is by no means a big sum.

He may not have been paid like other celebrities, but he had enough money to mount a defense. I mean, if he had enough money to sue years later, he had enough money to build a defence of his “innocence“ at the time.

Bottom line, there was enough incriminating evidence against him, including voicemail, that he didn’t build a defence because he had no defence to build. Trying to say years later that he was still innocent and not taking any accountability for his actions except for through the legal court system is ridiculous. He wasn’t innocent by any means.

 

[Jenesis]

He went on the Dean Bliundell Pod once and proclaimed about how all of what happened was not entirely his fault. I didn't really believe him then and he should have just taken the L and perhaps he may have come out the otherside of this, if he had of just admitted he was wrong.

Admit, take accountability, speak out as someone who recovered and learned. He would have gone so much further if he had done that. I agree.

re: enough money to sue years later - he might have been able to find a lawyer who took on the case on a contingency basis. No upfront costs and the lawyer takes a disproportionate % of any settlement

re: wasn't innocent by any means - 100% agree

I did see him once, many years ago, back when he did have his TV show. He MC'd a corporate event/dinner I was attending with several business associates. Didn't find him particularly funny, but he did have some decent jokes. But doesn't everyone who actually gets a TV gig? Someone somewhere in TV land has to be impressed enough to give him the chance. Anyway, R.I.P.

 

[mandrill]

Seems like everyone else was getting paid during this whole thing, while Mike wasn't getting paid jackshit. Funny how that works.

It's also funny that Mike thought he was in the same league as Cynthia in the first place.

The only jackass who made money from being charged with crimes was Dementia Donny Dum-dum!

They only do that when they KNOW they can win. I mean really really really know they can win. And on personal law suits, that doesn’t happen often.

Car accidents, slip and fall, where there is physical proof of injury and fault, yes but something like this, I would bet he had to pay out directly. I had a lawsuit, with an injury but not accident or slip and fall, there was questionable funds possibly available form the defendant and I had to pay out of pocket and then try to regain as a part of the suit.

I mean you could be right but I strongly believe he would have had to pay upfront.

Maybe a @mandrill can give a more professional opinion.

Pretty much. And it's not the sort of case a lawyer would take on for prestige and PR - because it's sort of sleazy and dumbass.

It is/was a complete guess/speculation on my part. Maybe...and I emphasize MAYBE, there was a lawyer who was a big fan who was convinced Mike was innocent, and that he could win some $$. Reflected glory is what I think they call it when people want to be associated with "celebrities"

 

[roadhog]

Just gonna leave this here. It's a long read, and a bit rambly.

That's a long, silly, bullshit rant of nonsense.

 

[SchlongConery]

Alright, I'll write one positive thing about him. He did spend 4 months volunteering with Humanitarian Organizations in Ukraine (November 2022 - February 2023).

Hmmmm .....I wonder if Cynthia Mulligan was already working in Ukraine?

Bullard isn't much of a celebrity.

Too soon?

 

[SchlongConery]

He's an irreverant comic who would be pissed if somebody didn't tee off on him after he died!

We're talking about him so ispso fatso... he was a big fat celebrity!
