The time for him to have gotten help was before he committed crimes against children.  Now would have been too late, he wasn't the victim.

I thought Kevin/Jenna were a couple at one point.

I wouldn't call Melissa/Blake a hook up.

Grant Gustin and can't remember her name, one of the dancers.

I think people are spectating hooks up and relationship.   Lea/Cory wasn't just a hook up or two nor was Naya and the writer.  Those were relationships

Neither would I which is why I posted a list of the relationships we knew of, including Blake/Melissa and then posted

 

Of course those are only the relationships.  I am sure there were random hook-ups as well.

Hook-up, relationship, making the beast with two backs, whatever...spit was swapped at some point, salads were tossed, and most of us enjoy juicy gossip. With that many people spending so much time together, its was bound to happen.

Harry and his dancer fiance should go on the serious relationship list. It's not exciting gossip, but it has to count somehow.

Was she on glee? She seriously hot, perfect match for Harry.

Lea/Matt didn't hook-up/have a date or two during Glee.  That happened a few years before the show, while they were both on Broadway.

Cool. I assumed it was early glee, didn't realise they knew each other before.

Matt was at Lea's birthday party in 2007, so they at least knew each other before then.

Seems like they had some sort of fling back in 2013.  That was my impression from this story and accompanying pictures

 I'm not an expert in Kevin and don't know if Marco is just a very close friend, but he travels everywhere with him.

Wow... Guess the seasons with him are going to be cut from syndication? Interestingly, when the cast (Lea, Chris, Chord, Jenna and Darren) was on Ellen promoting the series finale, they played a game of "The Most Likely To..." and when Ellen said arrested, everyone picked Mark. Yeah enjoy jail time buddy.

Just heard. Mark is a fucking creep. I know BI are rarely ever true, but there have been plenty concerning him and his gross, sleazy behavior with younger women & girls. I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and his "celebrity status" does not save his pathetic ass.

Sigh.

I always liked Mark but , damn, it doesn't look good.

This story is going to have legs, at the least ruin his career, even in the short run, and it's not because of liberal media bias.

Sad day for the Glee fandom. No matter what we might think of individual performers, this is not the kind of news that anyone ever wants to hear. I liked Mark as a performer, and admittedly we don't have the whole story yet but his career is toast now.

Other than something like a roomate we don't know about, I can't see what other side there could BE to a story like this.

 

The only half-way innocent explanation I could think of for child porn getting on someone's computer is a reach--if they browsed normal porn and had pop-up windows load up this shit (and then leave it behind in the cache areas for his webbrowser). But it doesn't really sound like that's how this went down if some ex-girlfriend actually casually spotted it on his PC. If you save off photos and curate them... then you mean it. That's intention.

 

And I wouldn't be worried about his career as much as his freedom. They'll likely make an example of him.

 

BTW: that photo of his house on TMZ? Wow, he lives in a surprisingly squalid little Cali shitbox, doesn't he? I mean I'm sure many of us live in as little or less, but we weren't on Glee!

I hope he is never again in a position where he has access to children, impressionable teens, or anyone else in a vulnerable position?

 

This isn't this asshole's first brush with the law, and I'm sure it won't be the last. In case people forgot, he was accused of sexual battery by an ex-girlfriend and tried to paint himself as a good "religious" man and his ex-girlfriend as a lying slut. He ended up settling for a large amount of money later. This is more a sad day for the children who were pictured in the 1,000 pictures the police said they found on his computer. Boo hoo to the glee fandom that one of the actors on the show turned out to be a criminal who did a heinous act.

No roommate mentioned in any of the reports. Multiple phones found though..

Yeah fuck him. Who cares about his career? What a total creep and a loser. I hope he goes away for a long time. The thought of those poor kids in those images, it makes me feel sick. This is just another piece in the pervert jigsaw for him based on past stories. I feel bad for the rest of the cast to have had to associate with him.

Ugh.  Disgusting.  I never liked the character he played so I never cared about him but ugh, this is truly terrible.

His career will be over mostly because his career was likely pretty  much close to over already.  According to IMDB, he has one thing in production and did a TV movie last year.  There's not much on his page besides Glee.  He'll likely do jail time but even if he doesn't, he's not a hot enough property for people to lie to themselves about his creepiness and cast him.

Agreed. Absolutely disgusting.  I liked Puck, at times, but I  was never a huge fan precisely Mark Salling always gave me a skeevy vibe.  Come to think of it, the times I liked Puck is when it didn't involve romantic situations.  Like scenes with Finn or especially Beiste. 

 

BTW: that photo of his house on TMZ? Wow, he lives in a surprisingly squalid little Cali shitbox, doesn't he? I mean I'm sure many of us live in as little or less, but we weren't on Glee!

 

Considering he settled that sexual battery lawsuit out of court for something like $2.7M and considering he was only a regular for 4 seasons (with a time out in season 2 due to releasing music on a label other than Columbia and only having 6-7 s4 episodes) I doubt he had a lot of his Glee money left. I would also bet he didn't make more than $30 - 40K an episode (before taxes and an agent's cut) and that is probably on the high end since Lea, Matt, and Jane had salaries of $80K or so in season 5.

Really disappointed and disgusted by this latest news. While I haven't followed Mark's "career" much since his departure from the show, I was a fan of Mark on Glee and now I feel guilty for ever even liking him. I can't even give him the benefit of "innocent till proven guilty" because the evidence is just too damning and the charges are too heinous.

 

Cops are now saying there were "thousands" of images (updated from first reports of "hundreds) downloaded on his computer of pre-pubescent children, "significantly younger than 15 and 16." And he reportedly lives alone and the images were apparently spotted by an ex-girlfriend who tipped off the authorities so it doesn't look like it could be pinned on anybody else. 

 

I also never realized he settled the sexual battery case for 2.7 million. That's a lot for someone like Mark who really only has a few years of Glee on his resume. For him to agree to pay out that much, the evidence against him in that case must have been pretty significant as well. 

 

Never thought I'd be wishing ill on a cast member but I hope he serves time. Anyone who exploits children in this way deserves to rot in prison. 

 

According to TMZ, Mark was shocked when the cops burst in to search his home... guess he never thought he'd get caught.

This is disgusting and messed up on so many levels. The saddest is to think how many kids and teens are exploited and abused, if police report thousand images on his computer alone. 

 

 

Agreed. Absolutely disgusting.  I liked Puck, at times, but I  was never a huge fan precisely Mark Salling always gave me a skeevy vibe.

The vibe he always gave me was of someone likely to hook up with fans. Then came the sexual battery and forcing an ex (don't know if it's the same ex) to have unprotected sex, which was disturbing to say the least. But honestly I didn't expect this level of degradation.

Pretty sure he has hooked up with fans. That seemed to be a running joke amongst the cast whenever it came up. I always thought that was kind of gross and skeevy but it's not necessarily wrong. And I have a feeling he wasn't the only cast member, and certainly not the only celebrity to do so, but now I can't help but wonder if any of the fans he hooked up with were underage since Glee fans tended to be pretty young.

I'm gonna give the rest of the Glee cast some credit here and say that I doubt it would be a running joke if they knew he was hooking up with Children. (Granted, they might not have known..) I'm sure we'll hear pretty quickly if that was the case.

If he was hpoking up with fans under 21, that's gross. Otherwise I don't really care tbh.

I think the Glee cast knew he was hooking up with fans, maybe even young 20 something fans, but I too am giving them credit that they didn't know that he probably hooked up with some teen Glee fans or especially any of this depravity. I say probably about hooking up with teen fans because summer of 2014 he was dating 19 year old Denyse Tontz (he was 32 at the time).  Still that happened 3 years after the last tour and when Mark was no longer a regular on the show.  Given that I doubt any of them were really privy to what he was doing in his personal life.

Wondering about Glee's syndication fate. There was a somewhat similar recent case with Stephen Collins from 7th Heaven, Wiki says UP pulled it from syndication when that happened. Apparently they experimented with bringing it back but viewers weren't able to  compartmentalise the show from the allegations. Bummer for the rest of the Glee cast re residuals, if the same happens here.

It is a bit of a different situation consider Collins was the lead and a preacher.

 

Glee is not even in syndication right own that I am aware of so  if  is ever in ration again it may be  a few years.   I do not think for Netflix/Hulu it would be a concern

You could probably cut Mark from season 2 onwards and not notice too.

NOW TV which is a UK thing sort of like Hulu, but with live TV. They still have Glee streaming and prominently advertised on its main page and popular section.
