Rainn, what have you done?

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

I found this disturbing video of Rainn Wilson on YouTube. Warning: it’s NSFW (profanity).

I had to go straight to Rainn for a response. His official statement after the jump …

Tallyheads,

Rainn here. There is this video that has been going around and I wanted to make a public statement about it to The Office fans.

I just wanted to say that I recently had a photo shoot and things got a little out of control. That little prick of an artsy Hollywood photographer had been pushing my buttons all day and of course they film ME attacking HIM when it was totally his fault. He is an arrogant little GIRL and the only reason I didn’t really pummel him is because I was afraid of a lawsuit.

Please don’t watch the unauthorized video that’s been making the rounds. It’s totally not what happened and I am starting legal proceedings against that little douche.

Rainn Wilson

*Sigh*.

  1. It’s a joke, obviously. And if you needed further proof, just check out the artist’s website (http://www.tylershields.com); he even linked the video there — under his Jan. 3rd entry about Rainn’s photoshoot — promising that “You will laugh for sure…”

  5. he is just lucky that he only used his hands, and not his numb chucks or throwing stars

  6. Haha, the very fact that anyone actually believed that is hilarious.

  7. THIS is what happens when you take away The Office for so long. EVERYONE goes crazy.

  8. Yeah that was pretty funny, but I don’t think all the swearing was neccessary. People can be funny without the profanity (e.g. jerry lewis). Maybe that seems like a ridiculous complaint to some, but I personally wouldn’t want to share that video with any of my friends. Rainn is one of my favorite actors from the office (Creed’s probably my favorite[more screen time needed]), but it bums me out a bit to hear that stuff. Anyways, on a lighter note, I hope the office comes back soon.

  9. Are you kidding me, guys? I can’t believe Rainn would do something like this. He’s obviously trying to make it LOOK like a joke to cover up his actual fit of rage. The video is real, and the letter is to play it off.

  10. Oh yeah its a set up, notice how Tyler puts the camera down and out of the way before anything happens.

    I’LL SHOW YOU FAT!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!! NOT SO ARTSY NOW! Such a girly squeal, love it

  11. Yes, of course it was a joke! And an awesome one at that. ;D

    59 | Leggers  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 11:31pm

  12. Totally hilarious!

    58 | Shunned Ryan  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 8:59pm

  13. I don’t know what’s funnier…this video or that people think it’s real. I love Rainn.

    57 | Hmmmbot  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 8:55pm

  14. What? How could this be real. Nobody came in to stop it? Instead the cameraman kept filming?

    56 | Officehawk  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 7:04pm

  15. That was hilarious!

    55 | what's the dealio  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 6:11pm

  16. Haha! That was really funny.

    When are we going to get our Office back? :(

  17. The video is a joke; therefore, the statement from Rainn is also a joke. So there’s no need be upset! It’s just Rainn being Rainn - the same one we know and love. :-)

  18. Wow, that was shocking! At first I though it was a joke, like that sketch with Craig Robinson, but then I saw that statement by Rainn. Wow. I’m not going to “pick a side”, I just hope nothing terrible happens, as far as lawsuits and such go.

  19. Ummm, you guys know its fake right? C’mon, this is the girliest fight ever!

    51 | hacker  Thu. Jan. 3, 2008 at 3:57pm

  20. So does that mean this is real? If so, I take Rainn’s side. No one knows what the photographer did to him prior to them fighting. In my opinion, it looks like the photographer set him up.
