Jim Carrey: Ben Roethlisberger Sexually Assaulted Me

First Posted: 06/12/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:05 PM ET

Jim Carrey Ben Roethlisberger

Jim Carrey appears to be making a habit of offering helpful sports commentary. Just days after saying that Tiger Woods' wife was a "willing participant" in her husband's infidelity, the actor has weighed in on the problems facing Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, Carrey wrote that he needed to tone down his future tweets -- before (hopefully) joking that Big Ben sexually assaulted him:

My people called and said I might have to tame my tweets a little. So here goes...I'm going to make a sandwich now. peanut butter.(sigh) ;^\

Well, I ate my inoffensive sandwich with an acceptable glass of milk and took the dogs out, while avoiding any controversial thought--->

...then I was sexually assaulted by Ben Roethlisberger! I can't be certain but it sure looked like him! Good thing I'm a Steelers fan! ;^B

In early March Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault for the second time in less than a year. A Georgia district attorney is expected to announce whether he will file charges later today.

Let's hope that Jim Carrey gets the help he needs. Like many others in
the entertainment profession...not all - they are in such need of
constant attention !

Juvenile, not funny and a big garbage mouth.

So would Jim think this was so funny if one of the girls this big jerk brutalized was someone he cared about? I have never though Jim was funny. I found his humor base, and juvenile, but I figured he did it for $$, so be it. But now he shows his stupidity for free on Twitter?

So Jim believes the girl in the GA night-club lied about Big Ben...............
So Jim believes Elin played a role in Tiger's extramarital affairs..............

Well it does seem to have gotten him more publicity than he's had for the last 4 or 5 years. Does he still make movies?

Huff Post, you're slipping badly. This kind of non-story makes you look like bad. Stop with the sensational headlines that mislead. None of us has the time to waste on this kind of crap!

They won't listen. They have nothing but contempt for their readers. This `story' has been posted for at least four days now. It's junk. But apparently HP doesn't know the difference between junk and news.

I would hate to be a PR person for one of these celebs that twitter. Maybe they should start adding a clause in their contracts where they'd receive an enormous payout if the celeb ever self-destructs on twitter.

As jimcarrey watches his career sink into oblivion, he is making a feeble attempt to get attention. Is it working?

Spelling correction: "moronic" site.

I like Jim Carrey too, I kinda was left expecting more. I wanted to see a more robust performance, maybe delve into more of the potty humor.
Rewrite of Jim Carrey tweetathon Shtick:
tweet 11:02am JimCarrey : Ahh, just woke up, going out to get the paper- my balls itch..
tweet 2:36pm JimCarrey: Going into Thai Planet to have some scumptious Thai vitals.. Yum
tweet 3:45pm JimCarrey: At the dog park - experiencing major stomach pains...
tweet 3:57pm JimCarrey: In middle of Explosive diarrhea session in the dog park Portapotty.
tweet 4:55pm JimCarrey: Still at the DogP. WTF My dog "tippy" is humping Ben Roethlisberger's leg!
tweet 5:03pm JimCarrey: Back in the DPark Portapotty, I'm not alone -wink -love being single.
Sick and disturbing Shtick, Jim thats all were asking for...

Jim, If you want to be UN-Funny you should go write a script for Cable Guy 2....For now, take a rest, perhaps get back with Jenny and STOP TWEETING. Then come back in about two years with a really good movie, something comedy drama..start a slow transition to drama if you like ..just don't hit people over the head with it..look to Ben Stiller, who just had success with a film that combined both...

er...why are Jim Carrey's "tweets" news?
10:19 AM on 04/14/2010
You think Ben may have assaulted Jim because he knew Jim wouldn't go after his money?

Is this the only gig the guy can get these days?
01:24 PM on 04/14/2010
erm, what? He has like 6 movies in the works for this year already and it's only April. What are YOU doing with YOUR time? Maybe that's the question you should be asking.

Big fan, I can tell. Did I hurt your feelings or something? Or is that really you Jim?

I actually find this hilarious (not what Roethlisberger did, but Jim Carrey's latest tweets).

The guy is basically exposing why this is a dumb idea and format in the first place. For the better part of a year people have been falling all over themselves to worship at the altar of Twitter and all these supposedly "controversial" tweets, mainly by celebrities.

Now Jim Carrey starts actually posting controversial tweets that address relevant topics and everyone is flipping out. Hilarious. Demonstrates people's hypocrisy in the first place.

They all loved how controversial and cutting-edge Twitter (which was somehow, according to everyone, revolutionizing the way we communicated) until Carrey, who does have a sense of humor and knows how to really be controversial, shows them the whole thing is a crock.

Stay on Twitter, Jim.

Good points I hadn't considered. However he might try a deeper effort at comedy in my opinion...

I think he's just goofing. It's TWITTER for c*ssake. The stupid thing is not Jim Carrey, it's that this gets picked up and somehow thought to be newsworthy. It's clear - at least to me - that's what JC thinks too.
