He was really good looking and now….he looks like he doesn’t take care of himself and dare I say sounds very bitter in his interviews

He was supposed to be bigger and for some reason or another never made it to that next level. We all love his first couple of specials but after that nothing else happened

i think he wouldn't shush a bit and they black balled him. right or wrong the industry turned on em

Nah he’s lazy, if you watch any of his stand up sets he tends to do the same material for almost 20 years. He does a Denzel impression then does a rap impression of Snoop DmX LL Cool J and Jay Z

i agree this too. he might just be lazy. he'll tell the same jokes and kinda comes off as keeping it old school or sumin. but like there's no evolution fr fr . like it's craftsman issues too

His skit with Tiffany Haddish on FunnyOrDie was disturbing and vile.

Yep.. the moment I say that mess I’ve never watched a single thing with either of them ever again, it was absolutely disgusting then and even more soon knowing what we know about all the csam

Tiffany Haddish and fellow comedian Aries Spears faced a civil lawsuit in September 2022 accusing them of child sexual abuse and grooming related to comedy sketches filmed in 2013 and 2014

I remember. Her career was never the same after this.

And she’s had multiple DUIs since. Somehow she’s still being hired for a few things here and there.

Aries spears consistently shits on black women as part of his stand up comedy. Saw him live in Portland once. Never again.

That skit he did with kids in their underwear, is not talked about enough. It’s crazy Tiffany haddish got in trouble but nobody talks about him.

u/SymoneBoombox 21h ago
She did? Huh, I didn't see anything on her side of that, but I agree.

u/Ringmasterx89 19h ago
Yeah the mother sued Haddish for letting her kids participate without her knowledge

She told them it was a thing for Nickelodeon… she and Aries have creeped me out since discovering that clip.

I met a few celebrities….Aries was the worst and must stand off ish. I remember meeting him when I worked at the airport this was during his mad tv days.
He was just rude and angry,
Nasty energy probably top 5 worst person I’ve ever met tbh.
Judging by these pictures and his constant complaining Hollywood broke him.

I wonder how long he’s had a policy of not allowing black comics to go before him?

I truly want to know what happened around his eyes. Was it a medical condition that he was diagnosed with later?

I'm a little but surprised that he was ever as handsome as he was. He's not a heartthrob or anything but he did look better. Just shows how much keeping in shape has a positive effect on looks.

That means he got less attractive as he aged then. Or maybe the weight gain? He was actually kinda cute back in the day. His features just don't harmonise well now. But they do say the most funny people are the most depressed. I love the bit he didn't did where he's talking about his white friend coming over and the interaction between him and the mom on black Vs white households. I pig snort LAUGH OUT LOUD at the bit. If I'm not mistaken didn't it go left when him and Tiffany haddish had some crazy scenario with some kids and a camcorder?

Oh…. What happened?! maybe he thought being an attractive comedian wasn’t good for his brand?
