Robert Downey Jr. Isn’t A Tattletale

By Caitlin Corsetti

Robert Downey Jr. is a lot of things: detective, superhero, sex symbol. But a tattletale he is not. Celebrity scandals are definitely wacky, but this one is the strangest I’ve heard in a while. Apparently, there’s a mysterious internet commenter who’s been leaving extremely detailed comments about some Hollywood stars on a gossip blog. The person, Himmmm, previously stated that they were ”4 guys who were all pals and worked together DEEP inside the biz. Two were famous (rock star and movie star) and the other two were true creative geniuses.” Does that username remind anyone else of the villain from the Power Puff Girls?

Himmmm posted a series of comments chronicling a story that involved Kirk Douglas, Natalie Wood, Ryan O’Neal, and Natasha Gregson Wagner (Wood’s daughter). It had some crazy details like that Ryan O’Neal impregnated an underage Drew Barrymore and that Kirk Douglas raped Natalie Wood. Himmmm left Natasha Gregson Wagner’s phone number as a reference, claiming that she would back up the story. How does Himmmm know all of this information? Well, the commenter states that he starred in a film with Wagner and Heather Graham in the ’90s, which would be Two Girls and a Guy. That would make Himmmm Robert Downey Jr.

But don’t worry, Robert Downey Jr. is calling bull on this one. His rep said that Robert had no knowledge of this and he’s not Himmmm (that’s getting confusing, eh?). Oh and also, “Robert’s a much better writer than that.” So if this isn’t one for the books, I don’t know what is. I don’t think Robert Downey Jr. has enough time on his hands to even consider trolling the internet or that he would in the first place. It’s just another wacko looking for their fifteen minutes.

Do you think Robert Downey Jr. is Himmmm? How crazy is this story?
