The comedian, who sparked controversy with some misogynistic jokes in his 'Natural Selection' Netflix special, was instantly met with pushback on the 'Cancelled with Tana Mongeau' podcast after his claims about his haters.

Amidst the controversy surrounding his recent jokes about domestic violence and ableism, a resurfaced clip of Matt Rife claiming people who hate him are just jealous is making the rounds, and people are finally amused.

Let's walk it back.


In his new Netflix special Natural Selection, Rife did a bit about domestic abuse.

He started:

"I've only been to Baltimore one time, and the hostess who seats you had a black eye. A full black eye."
"It wasn't like, 'What happened?' It was pretty obvious what happened."
"We couldn't get over, like, this is the face of the company? This is who you have greeting people?

Rife went on:

"And my boy, who I was with, was like, 'Yeah, I feel bad for her, man, I feel like they should put her in the kitchen or something where nobody has to see her face.'"
"And I was like, 'Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye.'"

Given the audience's reaction, he then said:

"Testing the water, seeing if y'all are going to be fun or not."
"I figured we start the show with domestic violence, the rest of the show should be pretty smooth sailing."

Needless to say, that didn't go over well.

In response to the backlash, though, Rife doubled down and posted on his Instagram stories:

"If you've ever been offended by a joke I've told - here's a link to my official apology."

That link directed to a medical supply web page for special needs helmets.

Yes, Rife apologized for joking about domestic violence by making an ableist joke.

Now a resurfaced video is going viral, and Rife was absolutely destroyed for his deep thoughts.

Back in June, Rife was on the podcast Cancelled with Tana Mongeau.

During one part of the episode, Rife shed light on what he called a “very humbling epiphany that I’ve had recently.”

He explained:

“Because so many f**king people hate me for really no reason, it really made me realize that people only hate somebody they’re jealous of.”
“I’ve been guilty of hating people, and when I really sat back and thought about it, it was because I was jealous of where that person was in their life."
“I felt like they got an opportunity that maybe I should have gotten.”

Mongeau complimented his thoughts.

“That’s a really, really good, well-rounded answer that I’m trying to wrap my head around."

Then she completely obliterated him.

“Do you think people who hate Osama bin Laden are just jealous of him?”

You can watch below.

WARNING: NSFW language

Viewers of the clip were highly entertained... not by Rife, but by the host's complete shutdown, of course.












The full episode shows Rife responding to the host:

“Yeah, of course!”
“They’re jealous they weren’t the ones calling the shots. Everyone wants to be the one with the remote.”

Oh, boy

He then explained that "hating" is different than "hating on."

“‘Hating’ someone, I think that person had to have done something to you. But ‘hating on’ is just a lot of jealousy. And we’ve all been there. Everybody’s been jealous of somebody.”

Okay.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
