Well, isn’t this nice?
In an interview with Uproxx back in May, comedian Sarah Silverman said- “Having a screaming competition… never changes minds. So, we need to try and understand each other.” Yesterday she was as good as her word.
A Twitter user named Jeremy called her the c-word and instead of ignoring him, or lashing out, she went on to his profile. From previous messages the 47-year comedian old found out Jeremy had issues with back pain and drug abuse and reached out to him.
“I believe in you. I know this feeling….I see it in you,” she wrote, before the pair had this beautiful interaction.
I believe in you. I read ur timeline & I see what ur doing & your rage is thinly veiled pain. But u know that. I know this feeling. Ps My back Fucking sux too. see what happens when u choose love. I see it in you.

I can't choose love. A man that resembles Kevin spacey took that away when I was 8. I can't find peace if I could find that guy who ripped my body who stripped my innocence I'd kill him. He fucked me up and I'm poor so its hard to get help.

Silverman then tried to understand how he was dealing with his issues.
No I just smoke weed. I'm prescribed medications which I take accordingly

And then gave this advice.
I will go. But I trust no one I've been burned so many times. I'd give the shirt off my back and everytime I get burned. I'm super antisocial. I have no friends. I'm sorry I gave u shit.

She then sent out a tweet trying to get Jeremy back on his feet.

— Sarah Silverman (@SarahKSilverman) December 29, 2017
And got this response.
