Additional info

The Disney star says he has tried to work out things “amicably” with his ex-wife but says, “She will have outbursts of hostility directed at me, and often change in her behavior and attitude comes without warning.”

He has also alleged she may have a mental health disorder and says she has been taking medication.

Jim is also very worried about his future with Disney, claiming Stephanie has threatened to ruin his longstanding career. He claims she threatened, “I will go and I will ruin your reputation … I am going to tell people Winnie the Pooh is a woman beating, drug addicted freak!”

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.

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.

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

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.

[Jester]

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.

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

[Coola Yagami]

Sorry, just not buying it.

[Vegita-San]

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.

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.
