    Not excusing his behaviour in any way but he suffered a traumatic brain injury that gave him impulse control problems. That’s been well known for decades. He should’ve had a full time handler or something.

    Misconduct:

    He had been accused of inappropriate touching by multiple women who attended the Monster Mania Convention in 2022 at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, minutes outside of Philadelphia.
    Busey’s manager told the AP in August that Busey admitted to touching a woman’s buttocks “over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op.”

    And from another article linked in the body of this one:

    Court documents obtained by Eyewitness News say two victims on location reported being sexually assaulted by the actor during photoshoots.
    One victim alleged Busey placed his face near her chest and asked her where she got them before attempting to unlatch her bra strap.
    The second victim reported he grabbed her in an intimate area.

      Why on earth would someone want a picture with Gary busey in the first place? Honest question. He has fans?

        He’s a wacky former B celebrity who is hilariously and sadly brain damaged along with being classically kind of a dick.

        I’d take a photo with him.

        …wouldn’t pay for it though

    It’s the eyes. Just like with Donald. You can see it in the eyes. A soul(?) that just wants to take and doesn’t care for the life of others.

        Absolutely, he had a bad motorcycle accident that fucked up his brain. And now he’s old AF, so of course he’s messed up. But also… He was never ever a good actor. Id pass his booth like id pass a children’s ride at the carnival. It just doesn’t interest me in the least. Who’s clamoring for pics with Gary busey? Id be more likely to be excited about the emo girl that gives no fucks on the progressive commercials and I don’t even know her name.
