(3,335 posts)1. Watched the first 3 episodes until I heard this news story...
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/21/arts/television/david-choe-beef-netflix.html#:~:text=the%20main%20story-,%27Beef%27%20Stars%20Call%20Actor%27s%20Story%20About%20Sexual%20Assault%20%27Undeniably,coercing%20a%20masseuse%20into%20sex.
The creator and two stars of the new Netflix series Beef addressed a brewing controversy on Friday about another actor on the show who said on a podcast in 2014 that he had sexually assaulted a masseuse, comments now recirculating on social media.
David Choe, an actor and artist, has long said that he made up the incident he recounted on his podcast, an assertion that the shows creator, Lee Sung Jin, and its lead actors, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, backed up in a statement.
The story David Choe fabricated nine years ago is undeniably hurtful and extremely disturbing, said Lee, Yeun and Wong, who are also executive producers on Beef. We do not condone this story in any way, and we understand why this has been so upsetting and triggering.
They added, Were aware David has apologized in the past for making up this horrific story, and weve seen him put in the work to get the mental health support he needed over the last decade to better himself and learn from his mistakes.

Have a couple more episodes to watch.
Both antagonists lives are screwed up. And It will be interesting to see how it ends.
