More than a decade ago, someone named ‘Himmmm’ began spilling serious tea about Hollywood in 2012. The anonymous commenter discussed allegations related to starlet call-girl rings, p*dophilia, and r*pe.
People thought that ‘Himmmm’ might be Robert Downey Jr. because of clues hinting at a past addiction struggle, which the commenter was open about.
Even RDJ’s battles with addiction are well-known, so it got folks wondering. The star was a huge addict from the age of eight, and his dependence on addictive substances only deepened.
So, was it Robert Downey Jr. who acted as an undercover gossip monger, commenting on blogs and spreading scandalous allegations about famous Hollywood stars across the internet?
Was Robert Downey Jr. Hollywood’s Alleged Internet Gossipmonger?
In 2012, there was a lot of talk about ‘Himmmm’ on the gossip site Crazy Days and Nights, a website where anonymous tipsters share gossip about celebrities.
Even individuals could comment anonymously. The commenter named ‘Himmmm’ also dropped some serious information about a secret call-girl ring.
The gossip site posted a story about a young actress in Hollywood who’s in an abusive relationship, which wrote (via Fox News):
“This former B list television actress who was on a really big hit network show just a couple of years ago now just seems to float mindlessly and flit between boyfriends. She comes from a broken home and abusive home. Her dad used to beat her and get into bed with her. Her mom just let it happen because she was being beaten herself and did not want to provoke. Well, now the actress who is still very young only seems to date boyfriends who are abusive and willing to hit her. Her last boyfriend (former A list athlete with B list name recognition) was so scared that he would kill her if he [if] he broke up with her. Her new celebrity boyfriend does not punch nearly as hard but seems to love it. Probably getting out his anger because he is closeted.”
Many people guessed the actress was none other than the Nashville star Hayden Panettiere. A commenter named ‘Himmmm’ confirmed it was indeed her and even gave more information on the topic.
On top of that, it’s worth noting (via The Things) that the actress wasn’t born into a wealthy family and has had a long list of bad exes. It was also reported that she struggled with postpartum depression. The anonymous commenter also accused Kirk Douglas of r*ping Natalie Wood years ago.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Refuted Claims of Him Being an Anonymous Commenter
Robert Downey Jr.‘s team denied rumors that he’s the anonymous commenter spreading Hollywood gossip on the website Crazy Days and Nights. His representative tried to put those rumors to rest.
When directly questioned about whether Downey Jr. is the anonymous commenter, the star’s publicist, Alan Nierob, told Fox 411.com, “Of course it’s not.”
Nierob also asserted that it’s the actor’s legal team’s decision whether to take action against the website’s hosting the commenters accusing Downey Jr.
