Roiland, whose exit from the Adult Swim series was announced in January in light of domestic abuse charges, had voiced the title characters since its 2013 launch.
Its too bad that its so hard to find a man aged 18-35 who is willing to show us his Rick and Morty impression at the drop of a hat.
They should have had Rick sneak into Mortys room and scream his name to get up. Can pull audio from other episodes from past. Morty wakes up screaming and punches Rick in the throat. Rick starts choking and Mortify asks if he is alright, using old audio again, than Rick punches him in the throat as retaliation. Then they both continue to choke for a few minutes. Then in new voices the agree to never talk about this again. Que new intro.
I know they’re doing this because it’s a cash cow for them, but didn’t the guy play a huge part in the show? I’d imagine this is probably going to be the last season unless by a miracle they can do without his writing and I think adlib?
I’m saying this probably would’ve been a reason to cancel the show altogether.
By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.
The actual writing and content hasn’t really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn’t too jarring, odds are the average person won’t know or care and the show will be just fine.
Also his adlibs were almost never used and just sucked up recording booth time.
The show is legitimately better without him.

His case was closed due to lack of evidence or something, but there’s still a ton of actual real evidence that got released online of him perving on underage girls and talking about how much he wants to bang 15 year olds, so it’s doubtful anyone’s going to be doing business with him again any time soon
Charges dropped by district attorney due to the case not having enough compelling evidence to secure a conviction. Not exactly cleared, the prosecutor just didn’t think they could secure a conviction.

That’s not how it works…

In the course of all this, a lot of other shit came out that’s more than enough for him to lose his jobs over.

Oh noes, the abusive cartoon character was actually voiced by an abusive shithead.
Cartoon abuse had always been funny. All the way back to loony toons. Abuse IRL has been unacceptable for the past few decades.
Read the update. Looks like an ex was trying to get him cancelled. But I guess a lot of other shit came out.

For anyone who’s not aware, some of the “other shit” is an extensive series of screenshots of texts where he’s soliciting sexual interactions with teenage girls. Such excerpts include:
- “Why are you such jailbait? What’s wrong with you in that regard? You should just grow older you dumb bitch.”
- “Is it cool being a jailbait?”
- “Does the FBI follow you around arresting all the men you sleep with?”
Just so we’re clear that this isn’t a “petty jealous ex” kind of situation.
Oh jesus christ. Powerful men do not need weird nerds jumping in front of their bullets. The guy is a fucking shitshow.

1: It wasn’t only the allegations of domestic violence. It was also the extremely creepy DMs and history of openly sexualizing minors that got him in trouble.
2: Prosecutors refusing to bring people who commit DV to trial is relatively common. It’s sometimes difficult for there to be much evidence, it becomes a matter of he-said-she-said, and victims often don’t want to press charges for a number of reasons including their own safety or affection for their abusers.
3: There is no hearsay here. There are allegations. Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered in court to prove the truth of whatever it asserts. It’s someone saying in court, “I heard her say that he hit her.” It is generally not admissible as evidence, though there are many exceptions to the hearsay rule.
4: This isn’t about our justice system, or a lack of respect for it. This is about companies who refuse to continue working with an individual due to his actions. What the justice system decides to do is not directly related to how companies operate. By all accounts they were mostly pretty sick of his shit anyway.
Judging by the creepy-as-fuck DMs and his general demeanor, I’m not really willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on these allegations. Don’t be a creepy fuck, Justin.
That’s a lot of words for, “I haven’t seen the evidence but I still have an opinion”.
Don’t be a judgemental prick, Kuni.
>”I haven’t seen the evidence but I still have an opinion”
I saw plenty in those DMs, I saw plenty of former co-workers complaints when this all went down, I heard plenty from the mouth of Justin himself, to know that for a company he became a liability.
As far as him losing his voice work goes, my opinion is irrelevant. The opinion of the prosecutors about whether they could convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt is irrelevant. The opinions of the companies that decided to no longer do business with him are the only opinions that matter.
