On the January 30 edition of his podcast, Joe Rogan commented on actor Angelina Jolie’s genitals, saying, “Crazy pussy is the best pussy. … She’s clearly crazy.” He also demeaned Jolie for developing Bell’s palsy, saying, “That’s the problem with crazy is crazy comes with all sorts of neurotic shit.”

Bell’s palsy is a nerve condition “that causes a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the face.” Jolie first publicly discussed her diagnosis in a 2017 Vanity Fair profile. 

Rogan is one of the most influential podcast hosts in the world, and his show is broadcast exclusively on Spotify. He has frequently used his platform to attack and demean trans people and spread dangerous misinformation.
