Overview

• On Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast, Powell said he accidentally elbowed a date in the face during a skateboard-style spin, breaking her nose and calling the scene “gruesome.”
• He described the date as unrecoverable, recalling that she was “bleeding out” with a “puffy” face and that there was “nothing to do” to salvage the night.
• Powell also recounted meeting a celebrity at a Hollywood party who had been “recently canceled,” saying he admired the person’s work but “not their choices” and refused a request to pose together.
• He said the person’s “face is toxic” because the public has a visceral reaction to their past behavior, and contrasted that with his Chad Powers character Russ Holliday, whom he framed as redeemable.
• Outlets report fans are speculating about the unnamed celebrity, but no identification has been confirmed and Powell’s representatives have not issued clarification, as he continues promotion for Chad Powers.
