classic Real World Seattle Stephen Irene The Slap Heard round the world

[searchanddiscover]

irene is awesome, she handled things better than i would have. i would have brought stephen down a few notches, screw taking the high road.

[Gio7520]

Classic! Back when MTV reality shows were good and not the piece of shit they are now.

[ryanwilsonmusic]

I love that he's now openly gay, like we all didn't see that coming!

[TheCurrymanEffect]

Never fuck with a brother.

[aexxxon]

He's not a homosexual, he's a douche faggot (and I'm gay) I love how nervous he reacts in the beginning, runs like he's been barebacked, throws her teddy bear over the pier and then runs again like a Tranny in heels, and finishes her off with a kitty kat swat on her face?? Queen...PLEASE!!

[ClockStrikes9]

I won't go so far as to say she DESERVED to get slapped, but I'm not that surprised she got popped. You don't call a man a homosexual.

[Fetusfajitaz]

The Machine brought me here, cocksuckas!

[Lbutcher82]

Thanks! Bert it was funny. #deathsqaud...

[xLeoFirex]

Femenine acting gays are super abrasive and passive aggresive, they are even worse than real women because they have no boundaries whatsoever. I have a lot of masculine gay friends and they all hate the femmie gays.

[MrBeenOn1]

deathsquad sent me here

[grownmannn2]

I think she got what she deserved. It is none of her business whether he was straight or not. I'm straight i have gay friends and just because i prefer girls they dont judge me its the same way around. To do that on tv oh man are you serious. She didnt think about him getting picked on later in life

[usernamemaybe]

lol throwing the stuffed animal into the river

[dvinemrsshay]

I think she got what she deserved. I don't think it was right of her to essentially "out" him on national television. She was a b@*ch for that. Had something like that happend today, people would have gone nuts on her. We have young people killing themselves over crap like that.

[maureenavena33]

she shouldn't have gotten slapped, no one deserves to get slapped, but she didn't have to do what she did. she could've just said, we've been through some crap together, but now that I am leaving I wish you well. she also bashed the whole cast via sattelite at the real world 2000 reunion

[comedyrevue99]

irene was right! lol! stephen you are  a loser come out of the closet already and quit being the fake one.

[iTZ0MNiZZLE92]

The way he slapped her....LMFAO

[toxictc13]

This was the last good real world

[TheBrradsullivan]

i thought he was gay too ps ...NO I DONT WANT TO PUT THE TEXT IN THE BOX!!!

[richardvergara]

Someone hurry up and flip out on the Real World and kill another cast member...the show sucks...

[elmachosaskwatcho]

im wondering if anyone remembers the song that played during the final scene of the final episode of real world seattle while theyre at the airport..any help would be appreciated.

[cableaccesslover]

ugh i hated stephen so much when this first aired.

[NYCBlonde]

@cableaccesslover *Everyone* hated Stephen. And I love that years later...Irene turned out to be absolutely dead on. He WAS a closeted homosexual--he ended up being picked up for male prostitution. Truth hurts, Slappy Stephen!

[Bain1998]

Did stephen ever come out of the closet finally? I mean who did he think he was kidding!?

[cesariojpn]

@Bain1998

Yep, he married a guy.

[DarkEmergence]

So she calls you gay, and you smack her.

I wonder what would happen if she said the N word.

[bigbandit]

All Stephen had to do was say, 'hey, you're not worth it, have a nice life...' and leave it at that. He acted like there aren't tons of other hot girls out there to choose from. Now he has to live this stupid act down for the rest of his life. That's really sad and really dumb.

[Hereismytwocents2011]

I think somebody should have slapped both of them.

[lonkaronkas]

and the ironic part is...several years later at a reunion he brought his boyfriend with him. He was and is gay.

[9deezGirl]

i don't think ill ever stop laughing at this!!!! lol

[stregadisalem]

calling someone a homosexual shouldn't be an offense or an insult.  Whether or not you are gay, lesbian or straight. And if he finally came out in later years...it wasn't fair that on the show he took out all of his personal insecurities on Irene.

[OneMillionSuns]

@stregadisalem Worst thing you could say about a man...

[stregadisalem]

@OneMillionSuns There are far worse things that you could call a man than "a homosexual". Hitting somebody, a man or a woman, to retaliate against "you're a homosexual," whether or not it's true, is not an acceptable response.

[OneMillionSuns]

@stregadisalem Well that's what Ron Bennington taught me is that it's the worst thing you can say about a man...and I usually go by his word.

[SANSANyeah]

No straight man taps a car like that >:-/

[RASOOL28]

I think they were originally friends at first and their bickering became so intense that it just got to this point and with her lime disease it made matters worse.

[AzrasUsername]

he didn't even slap her that hard, calm down...

[dbMammie]

I remember when this first happened. My friend had recorded it on his VCR (that's like an old DVD player, kids) and we kept rewinding it over and over and over. We were in tears laughing. It's a shame MTV sucks so hard nowadays.

[mjccmc82]

@dbMammie VCR - - good old days - - I used to record UFC and Pridefighting and boxing, Mtv or my favorite singers/bands, tv shows, etc. - - and at my father's house in NC I think I have 200 plus tapes, mostly MMA fights, and I live in southern california, and should 1 day go through my library of tapes, I remember this real world episode - - she really got under his skin when she said that, I remember when he slapped her, I'm sure it stung for a second, but it caused more damage to him .. .

[mjccmc82]

I remember this season - - I think david dated some chick and was freaking out, I don't remember Irene being a real bitch, I thought she was cool, but the main thing I remember is when she said to steven that he was a homo and I guess in that situation, when someone takes a dig at you, whether it's true or not, if u show them that it hurts you, then u sort of let them win psychologically, but if u brush it off your shoulders like u dont have a care in the world, then u make them upset,

[JACKOTACO]

@dbMammie

This was a good season, I remember it very well. My favorite is still Miami, they never started their business. The show started to be meh around Chicago and Las Vegas changed the entire show dynamics for the bad. Back then, the roommates never hooked up or etc, Well Melissa and Mike in Miami with the waitress, but nothing happened.

And oh yeah, VCR FTW, still got one!

[alonzolerone]

1:02 was soooo awkward lol

[spanku24me]

ok fuck him for hitting a girl!

[bun223]

I remember I was in shock when he did it though... I fell off the couch dying laughing...

[louismas2]

@bun223 LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!



[bun223]

I didn't like Irene, but I can't remember why.....

[loony10]

lol that dude not gay tho????? lmao he's come out right? this is a serious question...lol

[djmixnmagic]

@loony10 I don't know if he officially came out (and I quite honestly don't even care to look it up because he makes our kind look bad), but he was collared for prostituting. Men, of course. Utter lowlife.

[loony10]

@djmixnmagic oh he did for sure. i looked it up. sigh. yea..men.

[ronjiner]

@loony10 Just looked it up, he came out in 2008.

[TJ24ify]

that nigga straight pimp slap that ho

[BigdogH201]

My nigga ran from Africa just to slap that broad!!!

[BigdogH201]

Ain't nothing like seeing a bitch get slapped!!

[SnowDog0]

lol why did she open the door for that nut jump.

[MegaBabygirl30]

@SnowDog0 she didnt , the door was already unlocked, he opened it

[powerplayer84]

i was like "NO fucking way did he just slap her!" when he did it,

[blackadam06]

What did the 5 fingaz...say to the face......SLAP!!!!

Got'cha bitch LOL!!

[poppajah]

LMAO! she ethered that dude to hell.

[shthd84]

He announded he was gay in the last reuinion in 08

[Sickrthnuravrg420]

No Matter What Irene Said! No One Deserves To Be Hit! PERIOD

[RealDefentertainment]

@Sickrthnuravrg420 I WOULD LOVE TO SLAP you for just typing that stupid shit

[andikins101]

Agreed!

[DaHomieNick]

irene is one UGLY MOTHERFUCKER! (UMF!)

[andikins101]

@TheDERPS thank you my point exact!

[andikins101]

And stop callinq ppl knappy headed ihts very disrespectful and "uncivil"

[andikins101]

But that still doesnt give u the okay to call him a faggot! How are you gonna say be civil when ur sayinqq mess like that no body deserves to be indulted like that and yeswhat steve did was wrong but its over irene is over it if not good luck with her holdinq a grude u dnt knoe any of these ppl personaly so they could have worked it out.

[RandellScandal01]

What a dick.

[andikins101]

Yhu knoe wht shes right.... He ish gay last time i checked he announced iht! He aint afraid to say iht they are doinq fine just so yhu knoe everythinq ish goinq great thank yhu for yur kind words they couldnt be happyer life ish great nd what she said was very uncalled for keep iht classy nd stop talkinq about others on youtube like the immutre haterz yall are have a great day! :)

[andikins101]

1st of all haterz! Yall cant judge stephen cuz u dnt knoe his situation if he wanted to kick her in the gutz yall still cant say jack! Iht was his descion so buzz off irene sed sum jack mess nd yall dnt knoe wht goes off between tapes so keep yo mouth clothes nd that "fag" i love happens to be my brother so kick rocks!

[yingdiskette]

He has to be a real faggot otherwise he wouldn't have done that. Im amazed she didn't call the cops on him cause that is assault. But then again you MTV trolls think this is normal.

[yingdiskette]

@TheeDERPS Little girl, you should not go around threatening people with violence because that in itself is not a solution to anything. Please correct your spelling and that awful knappy head of yours. The thing here that is offensive it is a little girl such as yourself with violence in mind and with a dirty mouth. Even if you know this Stepen, he doesn't have any right to slap any female just because he feels so. Be civil ok, if not go to the jungle and fight the lions and tigers.

[TheeDERPS]

@yingdiskette Just stop talking please! Stop talking. No one cares what you think. Really no one cares.

[yingdiskette]

@TheeDERPS Whether people care or not that is up to them, this is YT and not real life. In real life, you do not slap a woman like that and expect to get away with it. If you want me to "stop" talking, then go away and educate young men and women that it is NOT ok to be violent towards each other just because someone said youre "gay". There are other ways which you and everyone can use their brain to solve a problem. In my opinion, I think he is definitively gay!

[toepro]

Stephen = bitch Ass nigga!!!!!

[evileyez504]

Irene never forgive him for it, even 10 years later

[datdudeshiki]

"right there, what were you thinking?"

"I hope the doors open"

lmaooo

[onegreenenvy]

stephen's engaged to a man now...she was intuitive!

[yomislih]

every bitch that ugly deserves a good slap

[DimplesOfIreland]

I always wondered...was he wearing rings? You can imagine how much a bare hand must have hurt by itself, but if his fingers had rings on them just imagine what the metal felt like if it hit your teeth...wow...she's lucky her teeth weren't chipped. Can anyone tell if he had rings on? Poor girl...

[ccarozzo75]

she was so right!

[dkaps79]

probably the greatest RW moment of all time...wish we got real shit like this instead of BS hookups

[Chinolatino]

The fights are what make Jersey Shore. The game has changed which makes it more difficult for a show like The Real World to survive on TV. Funny thing is Stephen got busted for prostitution a few years back on Sunset Blvd dressed in drag.

[pazzmatt]

That's when they should've pulled over, called the police and laughed as his ass was trotted off in handcuffs.

[bettescorpio]

He even hit's like a girl.

[silenceiseasy85]

And what's really funny... she was right.

[kritykat6666]

@silenceiseasy85 yeah, she was 100% right.

[LordHannigan]

@silenceiseasy85 That still don't meen she didn't get punched in the face. oh girl or guy she deserved it. Stop being politically correct.

[BobReidy]

This is hillarious.I feel so bad laughing at it though because hitting women is wrong.

[bjroberts65]

This is when MTV was good and i liked it....Today it's a bunch of HORSESHIT!!!

[Dynasty1303]

@bjroberts65 AGREED! The next season will be back in Las Vegas...dunno if I'll watch it!

[phoenicks]

David drags a girl by a towel- gets kicked off the show.

Puck acts weird- gets kicked off the show.

Stephen slaps Irene- MTV forces him into anger management.

Snooki and J-Woww do this- MTV loves the ratings.

Double standard, no?

[NicaxMVs]

@phoenicks I don't get jershy shore jwow sammi snooki angelina all were in fights but they never got in any trouble for it. In real world or challenges if you even touch them wrong or too aggressively you were sent home.

[seriouscondition]

HATE Stephen

[Elijah4Everr]

Stephen came out years later. He was obviously more gay than some of the clearly out people on later seasons.

[andikins101]

thats my big brother

[evileyez504]

12 years later Irene is still mad about this one incident.. I miss old MTV

[jacsidmos77]

irene was RIGHT!! LOL

[RMJ92]

Irene might be a "bitch" but Stephen is guilty of assault/battery for slapping Irene in the face and also theft/destruction of anothers personal property (the stuffed animal).

Did Irene ever press charges against Stephen?

[TheRigorMorris]

@Multi1628

you're full of shit. gay people have just as many problems as straight people. WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WITH PROBLEMS. you're part of the problem for participating in the bullshit barrier between straights and gays. do you have proof that no homosexual has ever abused a spouse or child or gotten divorced? oh and i suppose there are no gays fighting in wars overseas... you're a hypocrite for demonizing straight people the same way you don't want to be demonized!

[upabittoolate]

He didn't have to slap her like that. That's some cold shit.

[RayShardC16]

IRENE IS A SARCASTIC BITCH!!! SHE DOES SEEM FAKE!

[RayShardC16]

WOW its cool to see how some of the old season was....The SEATTLE HOUSE WAS SICK!!!!

[PhireMadeFlesh]

I'm glad Kameelah called him out & she wasn't just sittin' there egging on his behavior. Love that AKA. Anyway, Stephen is a loser. After the slap incident, there was an episode where he was curled up under his work desk crying. I actaully felt sorry for him because people do make mistakes in the heat of the moment. However, when he accepted that award for this moment on the '08 Reunion Special, I was disgusted. Just a poor example of a man.

[Subatomic1000]

Stephen=gay

[evkeys]

LOL THE SLAP HEARD AROUND THE WORLD!!

[caromelloadi]

CLASSIC

[TheEntertainmentonly]

This makes me blush!!!

[cwp1031]

i'm glad this fag slapped that ugly jew

[AbramBergstrom]

This is from when 'The Real World' was cool.

[mangarda]

@AbramBergstrom lol Real World Seattle was like one of the last 'cool' seasons. After that they did Hawaii....then the rest is history...=\

[adon214]

@AbramBergstrom Dude i 100% agree with that. Pity no 1 sells DVDs of this series. let alone any classic road rules and real world.

[JayStarzz]

I love the look on his face when she first calls him a homosexual.. its the look of "Oh SHIT how does this bitch know!?" lol You homo Steven

[klepto0oe]

@JayStarzz how can a man who wears that shirt and talks like a sissy not be a fagget?

[xLuiKangx007]

Irena is so beautiful. Wheres she at now.

[EvenSteven2004]

@xLuiKangx007, seriously? You think she's beautiful? You need to visit an optometrist right away!

[Msbookie]

37. The Slap/50 Most shocking TV moments-- 'Irene Calls It Quits' (Sept.1998) a decade before Snooki's abuse, MTV fans were shocked by slap, in which Irene, who was leaving the show, told her roommate Stephen that she thought he was gay. Offended, Stephen tossed her favorite stuffed animal into the water, then ran down the car she was in, opened the door and slapped her. He nearly got kicked off the show (his roomies voted that he could stay if he attended anger therapy sessions),

[ifimlyinimbryan]

@Msbookie are you fucking retarded??
