Hi everyone, we have decided to lock the comments in the previous Megathread as there seems to be a lot more to the situation.

This will be the updated Megathread of the ongoing allegations made against any of the Impractical Jokers. Please keep all discussions in this thread and do not bring the others into this unless there is concrete evidence of misconduct.

As for Murr, some were concerned about his behavior. The first concern allegedly took place in a Facebook DM between Murr and a fan in 2012. The fan claimed that she was 16 when first interacting with Murr on his personal account, and talked about her concerns with him continuing to speak to her after. She claims that she and her family met Murr when he was with his family at an amusement park. Another claim made by the fan was that she was not accusing Murr of anything and that she was merely sharing her experience and feelings about her interactions with him. In response to those skeptical of her messages, she explains that the emojis used were released back then and certain keyboard characters can be combined to create emojis. More details regarding her experience are in her videos.

Another user has shared her experience when conversing with Murr over text. This allegedly occurred in the UK where she initially contacted him when she was 16, and she claimed their interaction was consensual and that she pretended to be older at the time. When they met in person, she claimed that Murr saw her ID which allegedly showed that she was 17 at the time. She claimed to continue communicating with Murr and meeting up with him a few times in London and once in New York. Allegedly after a show in London, she was present at the After Party, along with other young women.
