Voice Acting Legend Jim Cummings Accused Of Rape and Animal Abuse
 

Wait...what?

Additional info

Let her go and prove her case in court. Until then, I'm not buying it.

Hate to hear Cummings's name attached to the accusations. By far, my favorite voice-acting talent for all the roles he's brought to life.

I say let the facts play out in court. It would be a shame for him to get blackballed on the basis of accusation alone.

I'm right there with you. I'd love to see vet bills and police reports, things that prove one way or another what happened. Does seem like a way to sully the reputation of someone known primarily for children's movies. But the again his responses left me a little conflicted. They don't seem that helpful.

You forgot his Fred Wolf TMNT roles.

The Cummings allegation reminded me of this little scene..

But in all seriousness, I like Jim and, I hope that none of the allegations are even true.

we've seen women do false accusations before. it's nothing new. it's just not reported on properly in this day and age where women think they can do anything with 0 consequences.

Cummings would never do something like his ex wife is accusing.

Also the same Jim Cummings calls sick children who are at the hospital and talks to them as Pooh Bear.

Sleep post?

Hope you are feeling alright today, bud.

Yikes. This is not a good look.

Jim Cummings voiced in just about every major cartoon in the 80's and 90's and a lot in the 2000's as well. Look through his idmb page, he voiced almost everybody. Not to mention in our own TMNT cartoon, he voiced 80's Shredder in a few episodes and 80's Leatherhead.

Well in this day and age all a woman has to do is accuse you of something without proof and that is it. I hope he doesn't loose his carrier as a voice actor because of this.

I’ve met some of Mr. Cummings’ co-workers and good friends who are also in the voice acting industry. They say that he is one of the kindest and most professional people in the industry. Even the ones who are liberal and don’t agree his Catholic and Conservative views have nothing but respect for him. His ex-wife must not be mentally well.

I have heard this too from numerous Voice Actors from Rob Paulsen to Tara Strong.

Regardless of this, I prefer to think well of Jim Cummings and be happy for his contributions to my childhood and millions of others. I hope these accusations turn out not to be true or at least never proven true.

People has the story now:

Those were my words too. :o

This is first voice that I could recognize.

If something comes out about Rob Paulsen I don't know what I'll do.

First Lori now maybe Jim, but this at least can be a he said/she said.

Next JDF will have something dug up or accused? 90s' Kids are getting a serious reality check.

Talking about it like this is exactly the sort of thing that perpetuates character assassination.

Gossip is fun and all, but these kinds of accusations are life enders. Whether it's true or not, these things should be kept behind closed doors and away from the public. We don't need to be privy to anyone's private life. Marital issues are difficult enough as they are, but to take it to a public forum? I don't know how people can handle it.

I want my family, friends and especially my fans to know I categorically deny all allegations of my ex wife. I’ll explain more but I must first protect my children as they will forever come first. God bless you all, keep the faith my friends, and may the 4th etc

At first I was like "wtf" when I read the thread title, since those two types of accusations usually don't go around together. But then I opened the thread and turn out it's his ex-wife accusing him of both things, so now it makes a bit more sense.

Yeah, it would honestly bother and disappoint me. He genuinely seems like a good person.

the key word in this entire thing is 'EX wife'. What are her motives?

there was some stuff about a local weatherman that came out during his divorce of him hitting on his wife. didn't make a whole lot of sense either....but, then the wife came from alot of Verizon money, and might have been afraid of loosing half.

nothing ever came from it either, so I assume accusations where false.

Same thing goes for a local DJ being accused of being lued and lesivious. by an 'ex' co worker, who wasn't exactly above the board. they could have chosen a guy who actually fit the description better, other than the Mr.Rogers of DJ's.

while you never know what goes on behind close doors, and people do make mistakes, even nice ones.....some of these accusations are just too goofy to believe. the fact that she apparently brought pooh up into it from the get go suggests motives.

Even the allegations can be enough. No one will ever look at him the same way again and will probably think twice about hiring him. So even if she's lying and he wins in court he might still lose in the realm of public opinion.

Exactly. Accusations of sexual crimes can ruin someone's reputation, even if that person is 100% innocent and their innocence is proven. And I can't really blame companies and people for hesitating to hire someone after that. There's always the fear they might actually have done those things and might be dangerous individuals.

For example, Michael Jackson. Maybe he was actually innocent all along, but you can't just forget about the allegations against him. I think most people deep down believe he was guilty. And if not most, then at least a lot do.

I'll be six feet under before that happens Rob Paulsen is a ****ing saint

Sorry, just not buying it.

oh, I know allegations alone can be damaging... but one would hope the person reading them would be smart enough to first realize the source might not be all that reliable.

They never do. Because it's so much easier to jump on the torches and pitchforks bandwagon than to actually do some research. Either that of fear that you'll be accused of condoning/defending that sort of behavior if you don't.

It's funny to me to see people acting like they know these guys. I'm not saying they did or didn't the things they're accused of, but I wouldn't know because I am not a witness, just like everyone here. Anyone is capable of anything and no one would know.

Was the Tweet deleted? I don’t see it on his Twitter.

I think it was I don't see it. He Shouldn't have deleted it. His wife is a loon from all the articles I've read.

I agree it was a mistake for him to delete the Tweet because those who read it and don't see it anymore will now probably think that he is guilty. We will just have to wait and see what the results are in court and hopefully he didn't do these actions.

Then he needs to sue her for damages.

also could go for defamation of character

I heard that he wanders around telling kids that Santa isn't real.

I hear he goes to children's hospitals dressed like Winnie the Pooh...


...yep, just a too small red t-shirt. Very creepy.

Despite everything that happened over the weekend, he still has a convention appearance scheduled this July in Connecticut.
