Jimmy Kimmel’s Head Writer Latest Woman Accused Of Sleeping Her Way To The Top
Want to start a believable rumor about a successful woman?
Suggest that the real sense behind the woman’s meteoric career bear is because she’s putting in more couch time with the powers that be.
Earlier this week, a rumor hit the celebrity blogs that there was another woman involved in the Sarah- Silverman/Jimmy Kimmel separate. It wasn’t just in any degree woman. It was the head writer at the Jimmy Kimmel show.
Why was this a rumor that "respected" idle talker blogs chose to popular censure — using the woman’s remembrance?
Turns deficient in their "evidence" for the rumor was that she had been promoted rather quickly. Couldn’t have been talent. Couldn’t have been leadership. Nah,it has to be couch time.
The item appeared on a very popular gossip blog, Gawker.
we’re told by an anonymous tipster that he has already taken up with a new lady. And not honorable any lady. Her name is Molly McNearney (Holly Johnson’s rightful a character she played in a skit) and she’s been promoted all the way (with one stop in between) from assistant to head writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! by the sex problem-having former Man Show (ugh) host.
That weak song was picked up by Defamer which had the modesty the following day to write a retraction.
A Defamer tipster who knows McNearny wrote us to say this couldn’t be further from the reality:
She is absolutely NOT banging Jimmy Kimmel. She was promoted from assistant to staff writer, and sooner or later from staff scribe to head writer. Where’s the controversy there? That’s kinda how it works in this biz.
Also, as a matter of interest, Molly has been through her boyfriend for 3 years, and believe it or not was in Africa ministering to orphans when this story broke (that’s not sarcasm, I swear). The truth is that one of Jimmy’s BFFs works as a writer on the show, and Molly and another writer tried to let him go. He complained to Jimmy, got his job reinstated, and at that time sought a little revenge by way of the interwebs. The sad inanimate object is that this is tearing Molly up.
How about an apology to Molly McNearney? So distant no comment from Gawker. Don’t expect to see one.
While speculating about the reason conducive to Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman’s breakup may be endlessly entertaining given their unusual five year anniversary gifts to each other, it is not funny that Gawker chose to run every item simply because in their misogynistic minds it seemed like such a plausible story.
Note to Gawker: Sometimes, occasionally women are promoted because of talent, ambition , oh and work ethics.
It’s bad sufficiency that co-workers may quietly gossip and wonder whether the reason a woman received a promotion was a result of being an employee with benefits -but to throw it out for millions to read is unconscionable.
So in what way about that apology?
