[He was 79.](https://www.tmz.com/2021/05/19/comedian-paul-mooney-dead-dies-79/) How are we going to get by without his insightful predictions as Negrodamus? Loved his bite and fuckallayall’s attitude.

Wow! This is the first I’ve ever heard of these allegations. If they are true, then, well, how very, very sad for everyone involved. Paul Mooney’s still dead, though.
