Source: Sydney Film Festival First up this month are Alison Brie and Dave Franco. The couple are facing a copyright infringement suit pertaining to their upcoming body horror film, Together . The plaintiff, Patrick Henry Phelan, alleges that the film is a blatant rip-off of his 2023 independent movie titled Better Half . The plaintiff claims that both works centre around a couple who wake up to find their bodies physically fused together as a metaphor for codependency. The script for  Better Half was allegedly pitched to Franco and Brie back in 2020, but they rejected the offer because "they wanted to produce the film themselves and have WME, their agency, package the project with one of the agency's own writers." Hmm, that sounds pretty damning to me! Source: Getty Second is Michael Pitt. The pouty actor was arrested and charged for sex crimes and assaults that occurred in 2020 and 2021. While the indictment does not specify how many people are accusing Pitt of the cri...

Source: Russell Brand/Youtube First up is Russell Brand. This month, the comedien-turned-actor-turned-cult leader was officially charged with rape, indecent assault and sexual assault. These charges pertain to allegations of four separate women and span between the years 1999 and 2005. He was officially investigated by police after the release of a 2023 Channel 4 documentary that exposed Brand's treatment of several women. Brand denies these allegations and says he looks forward to defending himself in the upcoming court proceedings.  Source: Nick Carter/Instagram Second up is Nick Carter. The washed-up Backstreet Boy was slapped with a fourth sexual assault lawsuit this month, brought forth by a woman who claims Carter forced her to perform sexual acts back in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 25. Two months after the initial assault, he approached the plaintiff saying he wished to apologize, only to perpetrate even further sexual assault against her. She also claims Carter did not...

Thanks again for doing your civic duty and we'll see you soon for April's roundup!  

Source: tiktok First up is Blake Lively. 2025 sure hasn't been her year. The actor remains in a heated legal battle with Justin Baldoni and has been receiving plenty of online backlash from the public. Well, she didn't exactly help her image after a bizarre interaction with a fan at a hotel in Waco, TX. 27-year old Kaitlyn Cooper was checking out of the hotel when she spotted Lively arriving. She took a brief video of the actor and then proceeded to her car with her bags. While Cooper and her mother were packing their car up, they heard a person approach and say "hi" only to turn around and see it was Blake Lively filming them with her phone. Lively and her bodyguard allegedly circled Cooper's car and filmed her license plate. Cooper reported the strange interaction on her instagram stories. She said she noticed a bunch of anonymous accounts watched these stories, and then she began to receive threatening messages. She thinks Lively launched this attack for some ...

Bannon won 41% of your votes, followed by Kuntye (34%), Kourtney Kardashian (18%), Brian Co (5%), and Timothee Chalamet at 2%. Thank you for doing your civic duty and we'll see you soon for the March poll!

Source: TMZ Our first Shitbag finalist is Kanye West. No stranger to the Shitbag lineup, the disgraced rapper has landed here for spewing hate-filled anti-semitic, misogynistic, and homophobic rants on his X. After this outburst, he paid for a 30-second Superbowl ad during which he encouraged viewers to go to his website, where he was selling $20 t-shirts depicting a swastika symbol. Kuntye went off the deep-end long ago, but this is part of an ever-increasing number of men in the public eye growing comfortable in supporting Nazism. What is going on?! Source: CNN Second up we have Brian Cox. The Succession star did an interview with The iPaper, during which he decried the cancellation of Kevin Spacey. Cox says Spacey is a dear friend of his, and even though Kevin did "certain things" he's also done a lot of extraordinary work. He said he's never found Kevin Spacey abusive and that Spacey was just acting out while coming to terms with his own sexuality. "How dare ...

  With 86% of your votes, Nazi Elon Musk has been crowned as January's Shitbag of the month. Neil Gaiman was a distant second with 10%, RepubliCunts Carrie Underwood/Jewel received 3%, Zachery Ty Bryan got 1% and Jacqueline Bisset was less than 1%. Thank you for voting and we'll see you next month!

Source: Eugene Police Department Our first Shitbag contender is Zachery Ty Bryan. "WHO???" you might ask? Well he was the blond kid from Home Improvement. It seems he's better known these days for his brushes with the law, though. This month Bryan was arrested for second-degree domestic violence. This is only the latest in a slew of arrests since 2020, where Bryan was charged with DUI, domestic violence, and even fraud. Will he ever learn?! Source: Nick Cunard Next up is Neil Gaiman. The disgraced author found himself once again accused of sexual assault, this time by eight different women (four of whom had previously spoken out last year). One of the women was babysitting his 5-year old daughter at the time of her alleged assault. Others claim that they had originally consented to sexual activity, but Gaiman engaged in increasingly dangerous and painful behaviours, leaving his accusers scared and uncomfortable. Gaiman denies any wrongdoing, however, his Netflix show Sand...

  Well Peckers, here we are in 2025. And before we shut the door on 2024, let's take a look back at the crop of Shitbags we elected to our hall of shame. Please refresh your memory on each winner below, and place your vote in the comments for 2024's overall winner! January's shitbags were TI and Tiny, who were sued for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting several women over the years. February's shitbag was Russell Simmons, who was accused of rape by over 20 different women.

April's shitbag of the month was dog-murdering psychopath, Kristi Noem! May's shitbag was Richard Dreyfuss, who went on a mysoginistic and transphobic rant while at a Jaws screening. June's shitbag was Caitlyn Jenner, who was accused of physically assaulting a valet driver after he refused to let her drive home drunk from a ho...

Source: Justin Lane/EPA  Welcome, Peckers, to our final Shitbag of the Month poll! Below are all of December's contenders.  First up is (A), Jay-Z . Beyonce's husband was accused of raping a 13-year old girl in 2000 alongside fellow Shitbag Diddy. The anonymous accuser claims that the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Awards after-party. The rapper released a lengthy and admittedly bizarre statement shortly after the news broke, classing these claims as "idiotic" and saying he is a "young man who made it out of the project in Brooklyn." He has asked that the plaintiff reveal her name but the judge in this case has ruled that Jane Doe will remain anonymous for the time being. Source: Pennsylvania State Police Second up we have (B), the McDonald's employee who ratted out  identified Luigi Mangione as the killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. NYDP announced a reward for any tips leading to the conviction of Thompson's killer, an...

Source: instagram Welcome Peckers to our penultimate Shitbag poll of 2024! Let's get right into November's cuntenders.... First up is Conor McGregor. The pint-sized UFC fighter lost a civil court case brought against him by Nicola Hand, a hair colourist who claims McGregor sexually assaulted her in 2018 at a hotel. She was taken to a hospital by ambulance the next morning where an EMT testified that he had "never seen someone so bruised." Hand claimed that McGregor had put her in a chokehold prior to the sexual assault, and she was so affected by the incident that she has been unable to work and sustain her relationship with her former partner. McGregor claims Hand was partying too hard and "swan dived" into the hotel's bath, which was the cause of her injuries. Regardless, a jury deemed McGregor guilty of the assault and has awarded Nicola 248,000 euros in damages.   Source: BBC/Shine TV  Next up is Gregg Wallace. The former MasterChef UK presenter step...
