He's a famous person whose credibility people rely on in terms of his advice. I think the degree to which people tried to cancel him is more of a "fuck around and find out" thing - he lied to many women, it's a regular scandal, I don't blame the women who brought it to light. The part that is hyperbolic is coming from the class of people to whom drama and campaigning for cancellation is either a part of their social media grift or, much more broadly, is entertainment.

Wasn't he encouraging one of his girlfriends to go through IVF with him? Was she supposed to think

"oh ha ha all good looking rich jacked 40 something men encourage you to go through IVF while not being faithful to you, what was I, born yesterday????"

That actually seems like making a real underhanded and pretty demented effort to fuck a woman over? And, potentially, a kid? Not just being a playboy but being a headcase?

It's weird enough that it makes the story interesting. If the story had been "rich semi-handsome dude gets around!" there never would have been an article about it. It's not Me Too it's He's a Real Weirdo, which -- I don't know, I mean you can be indignant that people take an interest in that sort of thing but I would say you're setting yourself up for an uphill battle.

Not sure how much of the story is real or not. This is the same woman under investigation for fraud - she was repackaging grocery store meat in horribly unsanitary conditions and re-selling it to the public as organic, free range etc etc.

Doesn’t seem like a truthful person in general…

However if true — yeah, Huberman was awful to her.

Last time I checked being a douche isn't a crime. To be honest I didn't even know who he was til the complaining started. Talk about free publicity! Guy is probably laughing at it all.

There was a CBC Radio presenter Six or so years ago, who was accused by some ladies of improper behaviour. He was taken to court and his female lawyer tore these women apart. They were made to look stupid.

Yes, Marie Henein was the lawyer. She was great. Even tho I didn't like the creep she was defending.

Solid Article. Its not even clear he was hiding anything from anyone.

I mean, the guy’s been promoting himself as some sort of lifestyle / bio hacking guru but he clearly uses roids and doesn’t disclose so… I’m not sure what people are surprised by here?
