A resurfaced podcast clip shows actor and artist David Choe making concerning comments about an experience with a massage therapist, which he later claimed he’d made up.
Choe plays Isaak, the criminal cousin to Steven Yeun’s Danny in Netflix’s hit dark comedy Beef. Since its release last week, the miniseries has been heaped with praise and is widely considered to be the streaming service’s best show of the year so far.
On Thursday (13 April), investigative journalist Aura Bogado shared a clip from a 2014 recording of an episode of Choe’s now-defunct podcast, Dvdasa.
Though the full audio episode is no longer available, a 2014 BuzzFeed report describes the conversation, which includes Choe telling a story about himself touching a female massage therapist without her consent before forcing her to perform oral sex on him.
Choe later stated that the anecdote was a fabrication for the sake of the show.

Alicia Keys’ Christmas album debut Santa Baby is as cheeky, cozy and captivating, as the classic it is named after.
For a holiday fanatic like me, there is nothing more heartwarming than Christmas songs. However, Keys is able to take a holiday favorite and improve it with her vocals and R&b twist.
So, like a square of butter over a freshly baked tower of pancakes,...
