    Hes an asshole. Piece of shit is accurate but it also in our currenty day conjures ideas and feelings of the vilest things, but hes not a pedophile or something.

    Gordon admits to framing his mentor over a theft:

    Hes also been accused of sexism, physical abuse of his staff, and the constant humiliation and verbal abuse is not a reality tv gimmick (would argue its still not ok there anyways)

    Thanks for this. I agree with you about the vast scale of "piece of shit" as an adjective for "he was a bully in high school" to "Epstein," which is why I wanted to check I hadn't missed anything.
