honestly when I saw this months ago I knew something wasnt right by just the vibes these two give off skating together
Its seriously oil and water...felt Prod was washed up based on this, kinda want to sell my Prod dunks in my storage now

[Useless_wooden_lurker]

From his Tesla scam to being BFFs with Mikey to his post in support of a credibly accused domestic abuser, Paul is going all-in on being a complete garbage human. Way to cement that legacy!

[SSBSTRS]

So crazy to me that he doubled down and called the shit “categorically false” or whatever in that Instagram story the other day. Dog, your own son literally posted in support of his mom, like you’re really not helping your situation by flat out denying it.

Also, fuck P-Rod, wtf man

Prod gets lamer by the day and Primitive has Shein vibes these days, all looks like knock off anime shit.

P Rod most overrated skater of all time, fuck him too

[Yonnycage]

Prod has kids too. Weird how that's never brought up. At least Koston hangs out with his son

P.Rod strikes me as the kind of guy who’d send Coworker Memes, meaning I feel like he’s not really clued in and stays in his bubble. Not an excuse for hanging out with an abuser but fr I think Paul is just generally kinda dumb/oblivious to anything not skateboarding/scam talk.

Also, Cole’s post have slowed down a bit. He was posting a lot there for a week and now has dropped off. Think he’s gearing towards making another statement.

its beautiful to watch the english language evolve over time. since around 2013 i noticed ‘false’ means false but ‘categorically false’ almost always means true

So true. I heard Jay Mohr talking about this a long time ago, guilty people just can’t flat out deny something.

“Did you murder your wife?”

“Not at all”

Like why can’t you just say no? It’s always no plus some extra bullshit

This deserves a gnar. Someone please help me out.

Paul Rodriguez is also proud to have never voted in his life, so yeah might not be the most sensible guy.

I would love for that to mean he didn’t vote for Mikey the Mare

[lucid beauty]

[prof_oak]

Too rich to give a shit is the reason.
Plus hes a piece of shit as well

[Sifter]

Fitting that he's throwing up an L in that p rod selfie. Just the other day I ripped down my last remaining skate poster as it was coles nollie 360 heel sequence from fallen.  Was hoping there would be something sick on the other side but was another cole sequence lol

Chris Cole will forever have yellow parachute clothing, hat sideways style

A positively disgusting trick.

James Christopher Cole has a child that confirmed the allegations of his mental and physical abuse

[Texas_Tone]

I don’t want this fucker to get away with it.  I was a friend of both of theirs, although I don’t talk to Chris anymore and I am still a friend of his ex.  I am sure eventually proof will happen, but I’m not here to post that, just to tell you what I know firsthand.

He recently had a lawyer, who also represented bill cosby and Chris brown and Harvey Weinstein send her a letter accusing her of being the one who is abusive, and threatening to sue her for everything she has which isn’t much by the way if she doesn’t immediately delete her Instagram post and issue a full retraction and apology where she makes him out to be the good guy and that she is a vengeful angry and jealous ex who is mad he has moved on and is still famous and she just has a 9-5 normal life.  Imagine threatening your ex wife who you abused because she might tell the truth about what you did to her, while she is the one both of your kids live with and she is the one who is responsible for their healthcare, education, and all that.  He sees them two weekends a month and is absent otherwise.

He cheated on her MANY times, and only found out when she was 6 months pregnant with her son, and she never left because she was trying to preserve a home for the kids, that’s also why she endured the abuse.   I think she is embarrassed by this, but he also gave her an STD when she was 16 and he was 20 from cheating on her. 

When they first got together, he used to keep a printed out copy of the PA code for the statutory laws handy, in case they got pulled over together or something. 

He once threatened to kill the kids to get back at her. 

I have seen pictures of bruises, to be clear, she doesn’t have any of her face being all beat up and bruised, but there are marks elsewhere on her body from him hitting, choking, and restraining her.

He threw her down the stairs.  Twice.

(Sexual assault alert)

They got a hotel room the night of another well-known skaters wedding.  (I won’t say the name because they weren’t involved and didn’t know). He wanted to have sex after the wedding, she refused.  She woke up the next morning, and I don’t want to be too graphic here, but he clearly waited until she drunkenly passed out and raped her.  There was fluid evidence.  He told her he didn’t want to wake her up. I’ve seen the proof of him admitting to this.  He also tried to make it about himself, saying that he can’t believe he is a rapist and he should just jump out of a window instead of owning what he did. 

(Dark unaliving alert)

She tried to commit suicide a few years ago.  He found her, pulled her down from hanging, and she said she wished he left her there to die.  He proceeded to choke her and slam her head into the ground asking “is this what you want?”  While she was blacking out, she scratched his face to try to in her own words, “get his DNA under my nails so he wouldn’t get away with it”.  Cops were called.  He told her to not say anything and he’d make them go away or else they might take the kids away.  In her shell shocked state, she agreed to try to not make it any worse on the kids.  The cops arrested her for assaulting him, since he had wounds on his face.  When they got down to the station, the cops could see clearly that she had injuries, and his were consistent with defensive wounds.  The DA dropped the charges and let her go immediately.  The doctor she saw before they let her leave told her that she needed to leave him, because he was going to kill her someday. I’ve seen the very clear and explicit evidence of him admitting this in an email he wrote her at the time. This is what he is using to try and keep her silent. Its really hard to listen to when she talks about it.

I’ve seen the photos of the way he kept his house while his kids were living there. Absolutely vile. There was dog piss, mold, and just awful conditions.
He pays her 600 a month in child support now that her son is 18.  Anyone out there who pays child support knows how little that is.  I think he lied about how much he makes to try to pay as little as possible.

Bottom line I’ve seen a lot of takes in this thread that are basically “well we just don’t know what happened so let’s not crucify the guy” and I can’t prove this stuff to you myself but it is very real and will probably eventually come out. There is proof and I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I’ve worked very hard to keep my career and I don’t want risk any personal backlash so Im staying anonymous, but I am telling the truth.  I’m not saying to crucify the guy either I just think it’s ridiculous that people are defending him knowing from the inside all the stuff he’s done and I think people who support him should know what they’re backing. He tried to be a nice guy publicly, but his abuse speaks for itself.  It’s fucked up for everyone involved.

[Lowcalcium]

Respect to Kalis and his wife for speaking out in support of Christine. Domestic abuse is disgusting. Hope to see others in the industry speak up.

[prof_oak]

No one said anything till now.

Not even well known outspoken progressive skaters.

People who spoke about wars, genocide, racism, politicians... all silent !!!

It makes one wonder why.

Add those two figures & multiply the result by the square root of James Cole’s birthdate (March 10th 1982, written: 31082) and what do you get?!?
THAT’s right… Zero.
The very brand he’s pro for.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Somebody get Puleo on the line!

Hi Whitney.

[oyolar]

Tesla has moved to Texas. Is she mad it's purple? Cole loves purple...

Every Hollywood script throughout time has portrayed women abusers as total scum. Yet when real life famous people do it, they often get a pass because they're famous.

Fame privilege is still alive and well is all we've learned from this.

What?
