Twitter Comes Together To Make ‘Nice Allegations’ About Celebrities Who Aren’t Terrible

With harrowing stories coming out about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., and many others, some of us may be dreading whatever fresh hell awaits us in our news feeds. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear about nice people for a change

A mainstay of weird Twitter kicked things off by requesting “nice allegations” about celebrities:

— BAKOON (@BAKKOOONN) November 9, 2017

People shared anecdotes about their purported experiences with entertainers who were nice. Some of the stories are downright surreal. Just try to imagine Danzig lecturing kids about healthy habits, Keanu Reeves diligently picking up litter, Johnny Cash watching the moon landing while high, and Sinbad jauntily doffing a frozen treat at EPCOT.

My husband sat next to him at a film festival event in SF a couple years ago. When it was over, Keanu stayed and picked up other people's trash.

my wife's grandfather watched the moon landing with Johnny Cash. said he was high as a kite. pretty neat.

Comedian Sinbad once saw me eating a Nestle's Frozen Crunch Bar at Epcot Center, walked over to the ice cream vendor and bought one himself, and then tipped it to me like you would a top hat, smiled and walked off. It was a great day.

And some of the anecdotes were downright heartwarming:

Gucci Mane is exactly as nice as he portrays. I told him I was nervous interviewing him and he told me that I was doing a great job and I had a wonderful future ahead of me.

One of the best days of my life. https://t.co/W3mQU34za8

i ran into nick offerman in my office building the morning after trump got elected. we commiserated, and when he ran into me later in the day he said "things are looking up. nobody got elected today." first thing that made me laugh about the election. i really appreciated it.

And other celebrities were reportedly kind to coworkers on set:

Lou Diamond Phillips stuck up for me against a really rude customer at a coffee cart I used to work at

Nathan fillion is amazing and often gets food truck service and similar as thanks to the production crews on shows/etc he appears in

Former stars of Doctor Who are as nice as you might imagine:

— the cold genius (@angevin2) November 9, 2017

Christopher Eccleston is a committed union man; when he was in Dr Who he would walk off set mid-shoot if the crew had been working too long a day so they could have a break. https://t.co/TcoftpnF6f

As are the stars of good show The Good Place:

— demi adejuyigbe (@electrolemon) November 10, 2017

And some of the tweets made us miss Carrie Fisher all over again.

— lianne ️‍ (@rantingbisexual) November 10, 2017

Danny Devito got at least a couple of shout outs.

— Mara “Get Rid of the Nazis” Wilson (@MaraWilson) November 10, 2017

Danny DeVito tipped $120 to have two cases of wine one delivered one block to his apartment.

— Kristaps Johnson (@megaclang) November 9, 2017

Some of the stories were sarcastic.

— keith buckley (@deathoftheparty) November 9, 2017

But most of them were in earnest.

— Egadsden (@itspronounced48) November 10, 2017

Can confirm. Chatted @ a con with Romero since he was signing outside of posted autograph hours. No line. Husband and I’s first date was all Romero movies. He said that sounded “horrible”. Haha

I met Justin Timberlake when he was doing sound mix for the Jonathan Demme concert doc and when I asked him if the movie was a sequel to SILENCE OF THE LAMBS he laughed super hard and told me I’m “great”

Michael Emerson did a show at my theater & spent a day planting flowers in a patch of dirt in front of the rehearsal hall. They were pretty.

Finally, let’s all hope and pray Tom Hanks never changes.

— Lev Novak (@LevNovak) November 9, 2017

I once served Tom Hanks at my old job. Once I was off I was leaving & he was too. I asked if it would be okay for us to take a picture together. He smiled & said “walk with me.” So I did & we talked, he gave me some life advice, then we took a few pictures together.

Super nice.
