celeb news Dan Benson explains why he got mad at David Henrie, shades Selena Gomez

[Jotham]

SparkNotes Summary:

• He felt disrespected by David's comments as they miss the context of why he got into sex work.
• Dan had been catfished and his nudes leaking had traumatized his life then.
• He was eventually able to reclaim this for himself and get into sex work.
• His career as a sex worker became so much more financially successful than his career in Disney, which he didn't financially benefit from.
• He says that David has blatantly disregard for his old cast members.
• Says that David and Selena threw the original show away "as if it were trash" while the other cast members were the ones who tried to keep the show alive after all these years.
• He still hopes that the new show is successful so that Wizards of Waverly Place can be brought to new audiences.

No shade, but why does having your nudes leaked mean you have to start a career on OnlyFans. Obviously he can do it if he wants, but at this point doing sex work is his own choice, not something that was forced on him.

David started this without being provoked. Dan can do whatever he wants to do. Drag that conservative pieces of sh*t!

[Trent W]

I think that he should just own it at this point

 

I don't understand the correlation between his trauma and starting a career as a *****grapher, but this his story and well everyone is different 

 

He should expect those type of comments, sex work will probably never be a respected career. One of the reasons is that anyone can do it and it's a very easy path to take when you're young

 

The easy path will never be respected or celebrated 

 

[Selegend]

i don't get it, does he want us to feel bad that he's a porn star now? 

dude... anyway.

 

he's been thru terrible ****, but by he's choices to be a adult star he's gaining money now, he's hot and that's it. 

a current disney star laughed about the idea of him coming back. it's as simple as that, not that deep.

the only problematic thing is the fact that the kids WERE AWARE and that David chose to laugh at Dan with the kids instead of just ignoring it since he was with kids (that would be the right thing to do). 

 

and not really a selena shade, he did correctly say that she's one of the most famous people on the planet. 

he's just mad that they didn't keep almost all of the cast 

[bielneira]

I understand his point of view, but I also understands David's. It's a children's TV show, so it's sensitive territory.

his comments ironically perpetuate the lack of respect for the career, even though they are his truth

 

he's basically saying "I didn't want to do this, I had to because of trauma! I wouldn't have otherwise!"... like, ok? I would have respected you even if it was your want

the smartest thing to do with that in mind would have been to not make mention, instead he brought it into the news cycle and ultimately brought children's eyes to the content

If he cared about that, he wouldn't have specifically mentioned it whilst surrounded by children

Like.. by the time Wizards ended, Selena's career was bigger than the show. Did he expect her to attend every one of these conventions where d-list actors do overprized photo-ops with fans or..?

Yeah, but I felt he was backlashing the "quiz" for bringing Zeke up. He could've played it cooler, but I understand his reaction

[stoopidjenna]

I don't know about David Henrie, but wasn't Selena a guest on Wizards of Waverly Pod at one point?

yup

 

 

[Michael196]

The whole thing is stupid, but as I said in the other thread, coming for him when he's not harming anyone while championing a person with an actually harmful social media presence, still calling him a close friend, inviting him to return to the show and to attend the premiere is disgusting and Dan is allowed to **** on him as much as he wants...

Yes. Always supportive!

and the actor that played Jerry just didn't go to the premiere, he's on some episodes of the show.

He didn't have to mention him then?  He could've just go on without shading Dan and bring up his source of income in front of children

How wouldn't he? He was reading a quiz question. And he didn't mention anything related to Dan's source of income.

[livelikemusic]

You go, Dan! Love that he did this.

He sounds bitter. Once the show ended, Selena and David moved on to other projects or priorities. Not everybody has to make a podcast about their show experience

I think when Dan heard about the reboot he thought it was gonna be more adult like the iCarly reboot.
