The Dark Side of Hollywood Icon Jerry Lewis | Vanity Fair
Jerry Lewis’s patented form of slapstick made him a 20th-century comedic icon. But former co-stars first interviewed by the directors behind Allen v. Farrow say he was a bully who sexually harassed—and in at least one case, sexually assaulted—women with impunity. A collaboration between Vanity Fair and filmmakers, Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick, reveals what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Ho lavorato in diversi Grand Hotel della Costa Azzurra nei tempi che furono… Un portiere notturno mi racconto' che nel '67 a Cannes era così maleducato e prepotente che i camerieri dei ristoranti gli sputavano nel piatto prima di servirlo! 😂 Onestamente ho saputo questa cosa de relato, io non ero presente, ho incontrato molti attori ma mai lui… Pero' ho sempre pensato che il tipo che me la racconto' non aveva motivo di mentire… E ora che ho ascoltato questa testimonianza tutto ha ancora piu' senso.

No final de sua vida, JL aceitou uma proposta de um comediante brasileiro chamado Leandro Hassum para fazer uma pequena participação em seu filme. Lewis aceitou, mas colocou com condicao que o Leandro Hassum não olhasse em seus olhos em hipótese nenhuma. Esquisitissimo…

The whole "Jerry's kids" thing netted close to $2billion dollars, I doubt all that money went to the actual cause…

You almost lost me at the one minute mark . The name is MarTin. You see the letter T? You pronounce that if you know how to speak properly. Not Mar'in . Please stop with the gruesome American cockney affect.

Who would have guessed that Lewis was not an upstanding citizen? Shocking!

I have never liked him, not even when I was a little kid. He was so popular and everybody loved him… but not me.

Never trust anyone who makes ridiculous faces for the sake of “comedy” i.e. Jerry Lewis, Bill Cosby etc etc etc

Dean had more character in his little finger than lewis had in his entire body
