Controversial comedian Matt Rife often finds himself ruffling people’s feathers. This time, though, he’s taken on a whole new community. After seemingly bullying an autistic “Paranormal Investigator” online, he has some explaining to do. Keep reading to find out what happened.
Matt Rife Enters The Horror Space
Recently, Matt Rife took on a whole new chapter in his life – horror. This all started when he teamed up with his YouTube partner, Elton Castee, to buy the Ed and Lorraine Warren Occult Museum located in Monroe, Connecticut. This museum is rather famous, especially after the Conjuringmovies came out, highlighting one artifact of the museum in particular, the Annabelle doll.
Now, for at least five years, Matt and Elton will be in charge of taking care of all the items in the museum. Apparently, purchasing the museum didn’t actually grant them ownership of the artifacts. However, they are the ones responsible for them for now.
Because of that, the comedian has decided to make some changes and open a location of the museum to the public so they can see some of these scary artifacts. The new location will be in Salem, Massachusetts, where fans will be allowed to pay $166 to enter the museum and see things like the Annabelle doll for themselves.
However, after announcing the opening of the new museum, things got a bit out of hand online for the comedian.
Getting Into A Fight
After sharing an event that will take place on social media, one person took to the comments. They started talking about the Salem Witch Trials, TMZ reports.
Seemingly unprovoked, Matt went off the deep end, writing a nasty hate comment back to the person. Apparently, at the time of commenting, he didn’t know the person was autistic. Matt writes:
Sir, you are a lifeless douchebag. Please remove yourself from this Earth. Absolutely nobody Is reading your novels in these comments. You do not matter to anybody. The event has already sold thousands of tickets. Now watch as I block you and you fall back into nonexistence.
To which the person, named Chris, wrote a response.
Now am going move forward with all this nonsense garbage what Matt said and Elton Castee control your mentor Matt or get Matt therapy I don’t want ever ever want see Matt bully a person with autism again do I make myself clear not ok to say with a person with autism I have autism.
Apparently, there was more to the conversation that would lead Matt to write such a disturbing comment; however, those comments supposedly got deleted.
