A so-called stuntman just learned the hard way that homophobia doesn’t pay literally. After leaving anti-gay comments on Facebook, the unnamed man saw his career prospects vanish thanks to the sharp wit of writer and social media personality Brooke Teegarden.
Teegarden, who often shares posts on feminist, working-class, and LGBTQ+ history, is no stranger to online trolls. Running her satirical Facebook page Let’s Not Date, she regularly attracts unwanted backlash from right-wing men and, of course, the occasional creepy messages.
This time, however, one troll picked the wrong target.
From Troll to Target
After Teegarden posted about the risk of the Supreme Court reconsidering same-sex marriage, the stuntman began leaving homophobic comments. He even scrolled through her page to leave further remarks.
Instead of ignoring him, Teegarden decided on a little poetic justice. She checked out his profile and discovered he was a “low-level stunt actor” struggling to land steady work. On Reddit, he even complained about aging out of stunt gigs and wishing he could transition into stunt coordination.
That’s when Teegarden set her plan in motion.
The Fake Job Offer
Using a fake email and the alias Beau Archer, Teegarden posed as a casting coordinator. She messaged the stuntman about potential work. Predictably, he was interested and even asked if the job required a stunt double, fight choreographer, or coordinator.
Everything was set for a Zoom call to discuss the role — until Teegarden pulled the plug.
In a follow-up email, she revealed that she’d done a quick social media search and discovered his public homophobic comments. As a result, she told him directly:
“We will not be moving forward with you now or in the future.”
Desperate Excuses
Shocked, the stuntman tried to deny it was him, claiming there must be a “mistake.” Teegarden quickly shut that down by sending screenshots of his own Facebook comments.
Cornered, the stuntman offered one of the weakest defenses possible:
“I can delete it if that works for you.”
“Those were jokes actually… I can get you references. Got a gay cousin you can talk to.”
But by then, the damage was done. No job, no second chances, and definitely no credibility.
Public Applause for Teegarden
Teegarden later shared the exchange on Threads, where the post racked up over 15,000 likes. Many applauded her quick thinking and praised the poetic justice.
One commenter quipped:
“I cannot IMAGINE why he’s not getting more work, with these professional and enthusiastic replies 🙃.”
Another praised Teegarden for showing how words have real-world consequences.
The Lesson?
It’s unlikely the stuntman is suddenly a champion for LGBTQ+ rights. But one thing is certain: he’ll think twice before spouting anti-gay hate on someone else’s public page.
In the end, Teegarden’s sharp takedown served as both a reality check and a reminder — sometimes, the internet really does deliver karma.
