Three Years After Getting Busted for Sexual Deviancy, ‘Reformed Predator’ John Crist Releases New Comedy Special
Three years ago, comedian John Crist was at the apex of his career. The darling of the evangelical world, he was poised for major success with a Netflix special and a book deal until his reputation tanked and burst into flames after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light- forcing both to be canceled.
Crist, a popular Christian entertainer known for his comedy routines and hip ethos, had his life come to a grinding halt in late 2019 ago after Charisma News broke the story that a host of women were alleging some very unsavory things, including harassing and manipulating young women, “sexting” multiple partners at the same time, committing adultery and fornication, and bribing women with tickets to his shows in exchange for sexual favors. Charisma did some good reporting, they had the pictures, texts, and receipts to prove it.
Unfortunately, Crist barely copped to the allegations in the Charisma piece, releasing a statement to the magazine where with a pretty stellar euphemism he acknowledged only that:
“While I am not guilty of everything I’ve been accused of, I confess to being guilty of this — I have treated relationships with women far too casually, in some cases even recklessly.”
Stunning and brave. This non-apology apology might as well have said, “I’m sorry that the women were offended by my actions,” for how insincere and evasive it was. And that was basically it. That’s all he had to say about it. That’s the end of that.
He disappeared to get “healing” for sex addiction, claimed in the process that he almost killed himself (a tactic manipulators use to garner sympathy), and hid out of sight for a while, waiting for the requisite year to pass so that he could emerge back into the limelight to declare that he was now restored and ready to return to evangelicalism’s good graces.
16 months later he was back on the circuit, emerging from his imposed exile (made easy by the pandemic) and playing sold-out shows to undiscerning Christian eager to forget all the creepy, pervy, manipulations he did and never apologized for or addressed a year and a half prior.
Last week he took his biggest step forward in his redemption arc, releasing his new comedy special “What are we doing?” on YouTube, garnering half a million views.
Captioned “From the frustrations of ordering at McDonald’s and waiting in line at CVS, to the perplexities of expectant mother’s parking spots and getting baptized in the Nile river, John Crist has been there to observe it all and ask simply…What Are We Doing? his show does not make mention of the scandal at all.
By all accounts his fans love it, and we did not see anyone mention his brushed-aside sexual sins in the comments.
Apparently, you don’t even have to admit one’s sins and repent of them anymore in order for evangelicalism to forgive you for being a creeper. All you have to do is be funny.
