“Shang-Chi’s” Simu Liu Embroiled In Reddit Controversy

Just as Simu Liu’s career is really taking off, his past is catching up to him. The actor, who made his debut earlier this month as Marvel’s first Asian superhero on the big screen in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” is in hot water over some of his old Reddit posts.

While Liu is a breakout star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’s been in the acting game for a minute. There’s a 2015 Reddit post being attributed to Liu where he talks about being a Canadian actor researching pedophilia for a role, which he says made him “much more sympathetic to anyone who is born with those urges.” He goes so far as to compare pedophilia to homosexuality.

The “nippedinthebud” Reddit account no longer exists, but screenshots of their posts are making the rounds around online. In one of the user's posts, they introduce themself as “Simu.” It’s worth noting that Liu was raised in Canada after being born in China, and had several small acting roles leading up to his big break in Netflix’s “Kim’s Convenience.”

Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer, who was shot trying to protect her dogs from being dognapped, sat down for his first TV interview with "CBS Mornings’" Gayle King, where he described in detail what went down during the attack.

“I was scared. I was in pain. I had a feeling when they came up, pulled the gun on me, that I was going to end up being shot,” he said. “In my mind, I was like, ‘There’s no way I’m not going to fight for these dogs.'”

The bullet pierced Ryan’s lung, and doctors wound up having to remove portions of his lung. He notes, “The people in the E.R. who I’d seen that night told me that they didn’t think I was going to survive that night.”

As for how he’s been doing since the shooting, Ryan shares, “some days are great, some weeks are not.” He also had only nice things to say about how Gaga has treated him since the attack. “She’s been a friend for me,” he said, noting that she flew his family in to see him after the attack and even had therapists for him. He added, “I stayed at her house for months while friends comforted me and security was around me.”

As we told you, Ryan recently created a GoFundMe page to help him on the spiritual journey he’s on, with some questioning why Gaga hasn’t helped more. He notes, “LG’s very supportive of my journey right now,” noting that some people don’t understand his healing journey.
