In a recent conversation on the "Trying Not to Die" podcast with Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler, the comedian said he was blindsided by how quickly people he’d known for years distanced themselves after the scandal unfolded in 2020. Drexler asked D’Elia if it shocked him that longtime peers failed to stand by him during the public backlash.
"It blew my mind kind of because, like comedians are so … community, I thought, was what mattered … but comedians are just so — most comedians are just pretty spineless," D’Elia said.
