[Blind Gossip] As you know, 7th Heaven actor Stephen Collins is facing very serious charges involving child mol*station.
Comedian Kathy Griffin – who never shies away from controversy – sent out a tweet that seems to indicate that she knows of someone else who has been involved in similar wrongdoing.
She sent out a tweet that read: “Well well well #StephenCollins, looks like u may have finally gotten urself busted after all these years. Jack M, ur next? KG”
Well well well #StephenCollins, looks like u may have finally gotten urself busted after all these years. Jack M, ur next? KG
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) October 7, 2014
Who is Jack M?
UPDATE: Kathy says, “Good God I didn’t mean Jack McBrayer.”

kerplunkin says
No clue, but if she knows something she should be going to the police with it instead of sending out sensational tweets…
JenJenJen says
Amen
Okayeah says
If she has no proof, going to the police accomplishes nothing.
Ati2d9 says
Exactly.
ThinkerBelle says
Exactly. I’m sure Hollywood is rife with rumors left and right. Maybe she’s heard TONS of rumors about this Jack M person or could even know a person he assaulted. Without the person going to the cops, it’s just rumors. Risky but that’s her.
minx says
Apparently the first person people thought of was Jack McBrayer, but she has denied that it is him.
So I have no idea. No other name jumps out at me.
hardlunn says
the pervy bloke from the walking dead…mentioned in the solved pervy meeting young girls comic-con thing.
Sport says
Jack McBrayer?
(creepy whoever it is, and if it’s real it should not be a cryptic Tweet it should be a phone call to authorities.)
Cult of Personality says
I hope she’s not referring to Jack McBrayer and if she is, I hope she’s kidding
Elisa says
Not Fix-It Felix!
wendy hood says
To even tweet that was ridiculous. At best, that means shes privy to information about the violation of children’s rights in the Hollywood scene. Thanks for letting us know or think that, Kathy. Continue to poke fun at Lindsay Lohan while sitting on legitimately traumatizing stuff like this (and bragging about it).
It could be anyone in Hollywood with the first name Jack and the middle initial M to anyone with the first name Jack and a last name that begins with M to really anything. Any combination of J and M.
Vickiefantastico says
This is a total guess, because I would hate to think this were true, but she dated Jack Black years ago. Could it be him? I don’t know where the “M” fits in.
cjane says
Whoa. What’s weird is that was the first name I thought of before even reading the comments. Hope it’s not.
And don’t mess with my Jack McBrayer. I love him so much.
MikeInSanJose says
Jack McBrayer
Moonpie says
It’s common knowledge that Hollywood is infested with pedophiles. They work at the big networks and are in charge at Disney, Nickelodeon with unfettered access to children. The saddest part is that parents are aware but they got to feed the family right. Jack M could be John somebody. If she has information that Jack M is committing acts of pedophilia, she is no better than him for not alerting the authorities. So watch out KG, Stephen Collins’s wife is not looking so good herself.
chandler02 says
The sad truth is that the WORLD is infested with pedophiles. They are in Hollywood, yes, but they are also in small town America and everywhere in between. They insert themselves into industries where they have access to children. It isn’t just Hollywood, it could be a little league team, a tutor, a priest, a teacher, etc.
cjane says
Yeah. I used to think people were just paranoid and charging at windmills, but after the past few weeks, damn. I’m doubting my sanity as I start going all conspiracy theorist on this stuff.
WorkProduction says
Kathy Griffin tweeted on clue: “@kathygriffin: Good God I didn’t mean Jack McBrayer.”
No idea who this is.
WorkProduction says
…tweeted “one” clue
MamaJunesneckrolls says
Michael Jackson
LAGAL says
jack mcgrayer is only jack me i can think of but seems like it would be older guy
so maybe jack nicholson? the underage girl roman polanski plied with drugs and then raped happened at jack nicholons house —- but he wasn’t there?
ravenglass says
This is a VERY RANDOM guess based on the name & initial alone.
Jackie Martling
helenkeller says
John mayer
Or was taylor swift just a beard :/
carriebradshaw says
she was 20.
stonn says
Maybe she meant to type the letter ‘N’, instead of ‘M’.
My guess is Jack NICHOLSON.
EastCoaster says
That was my first thought too! I hope to God it’s NOT him, one of my all-time favorites!
Ati2d9 says
I am hoping with Jack Nicholson as well.
Stackhouse says
Same. Remember, what Roman Polanski did, happened at Jack Nicholson’s house. He’s also rumored to have had a relationship with Drew Barrymore when she was underage, if I remember correctly. The fact that he has several psychopathic traits, doesn’t really help all that much either.
BritishPound says
This
Revisionist says
Tim Allen? Speilberg?
stolidog says
I was going to take a total stab in the dark and guess and actor whose name is “Jack”, but it didn’t really seem right to cast dispersions on someone who was a completely random guess.
sweetgigi1017 says
I usually think she s funny, but not know. This is not funny and if she those know this person she needs to speak up and say who it is.
OhSoLittleMouse says
I don’t know who Jack M is but if she knows of someone that is molesting children and she hasn’t reported it, I hold her just as guilty as the monster.
Amy123 says
I don’t want to speculate. The real question is , does BG know who this is?
bjd44 says
First off, why would Kathy Griffin even write this, even in a stupid tweet – where unless she is TOTALLY CERTAIN OF SOMETHING, she could pretty much screw up someone’s life! This is NOT an insinuation to be taken lightly! Second, if she knows something FOR SURE about someone, why wouldn’t she then bring it to authorities!?!? This woman is nuts, and I don’t think her stupid tweet even deserves a reply or guess, as she could irrevocably ruin someone’s life! Stupid, stupid woman trying to get “attention.” Just pathetic to me…..
Cranny says
You’re right. If she is playing joke. She could damage a person’s reputation and if it is true, she should report it. She is implying shes know of a child molester and she not doing anything about it.
kilimanjaro says
Hugh JackM an.
moodymigraine says
Jack M as in Hugh Jackman???
This is just a guess not an accusation since I hope it’s not Hugh.
SMH, if people know someone is a child molester, WTF keep quiet? Silence is enabling this horrible situation.
hintoflime5 says
I don’t know, but that is a serious allegation!
heartcouture says
Sean Hayes maybe? He played Jack McFarland on Will & Grace..
MikeInSanJose says
Was wondering whether it might be a character name instead of an actual name…
JaneDawson says
Jack McBrayer? He’s worked on a few childrens shows while doing 30 Rock.
This whole is psycho and gross. I hope as many predators as possible get caught. Those poor little kids being used and abused for no good reason. Sick.
stonn says
Or…John Mayer? Jack is often used as a short for John.
CanaryCry says
Awww, I like Jack McBrayer. Even if Kathy’s just kidding, that would be terrible.
CanaryCry says
Off the hook … ** whew **
keenobserver says
i really am interested in the guesses here.
i figure it’s a man, between 45 and 65. gee that narrows it right down. jack might be short for Jonathan – given kathy’s age and the target age of 45-65, that’s a qualified guess. M could be a middle initial, but given kathy’s wit, it could also stand for a descriptor she has assigned him ( like Money bags, or Molester.) so my lack of a complete guess is a John/Jon she has worked with in the past. maybe around the suddenly susan time. that was a ‘playing by the rules’ time for her, and a time she would likely be paying attention as well as playing along. … all this fun mental blind gymnastics yet i have no guess.
katt388 says
Could tis be Jack N like in Nicholson.
mquinn says
Michael Jackson?
JackSON Michael?
yinyang says
I was thinking similarly but backwards as in Jack M = Michael Jackson
MaybeImRight says
No clue, but if she knows someone is molesting children and she is doing nothing to stop it except send out a cryptic tweet, then she is just as contemptible as the rest of the filth. And here I thought Kathy Griffin could not possibly be any bigger of a scumbag! Turns out she found a way. My heart aches for these children and for all children who have been through this.
Chellem says
Please dont be Jack Mcbrayer!!
Grande Queso says
Jack McBrayer??
Grande Queso says
Whoever this sh*tty dude is I hope he is called out and put thru the mill. If Kathy knows something she owes it to society to leave an anonymous tip.
Witch Baby says
jack mcbrayer?
Witch Baby says
nope she quickly said it wasnt him. jack mcgee? maybe its not even an actual name more like a character or…? If she does know about child molestation she should have reported it. But Hollyweird doesnt seem to operate on ‘normal’ codes and ethics, everything is always covered up and kept hush hush.
It makes me wonder if Collins was a factor to Jessica Biel leaving 7th Heaven.
Mia444 says
I don’t know who Jack is, but good for Kathy! It’s one thing to keep mum about things that aren’t your business — what kicks people get up to in their own home is their thing — but child molesters need to be called out! They’re committing heinous crimes that scar kids for life. I love KG and this makes me admire her more.
MrsBreeder says
Only Jack M on IMDB that immediately pops up is Jack McBrayer…but he doesn’t strike me as the type of person to be on KG’s radar.
GeorgiaR says
Jack McGee? He’s the same type of actor as Stephen Collins in that he is popular and has worked a lot, yet not blockbuster famous, usually playing the tough good guy.
Amy123 says
Jack McBrayer will be the common guess. Maybe he IS the most famous living Jack M. Maybe that is why she wssn’t afraid to say it. Then again… I don’t know anything about him, but I hate to see any names dragged into this without being sure. Imagine if this is not about him and people just assume it is! Please everyone, don’t assume any person without more to go on. This is nothing to be speculating on without hard evidence. No innocent man should have to suffer under the shadow of that label!
DebinTx says
Hugh Jackman?
ImThinking says
If she knows something, she should come forward, this is a very serious crime to be played like games.
SassySeaDweller says
John C. McGinley (from Scrubs)
TheCityPlanner says
Jack McFarland from Will & Grace?
iluvgossip says
Ooohhh KG…you’re so bad!!
I would have to go with John Malkovich. I think KG is using the nickname Jack!
Unfortunately this a so prevalent in the industry. They may just be opening Pandora”s box here.
ValleyOfTheGalls says
The only “Jack M” I can think of is Jack McBrayer.
This Steven Collins thing is making me more nauseated every day.
Today I read that he told his then pregnant wife that he hoped they didn’t have a boy because he “didn’t know if he could keep the child’s tiny little penis out of his mouth”
That’s horribly revolting. BUT HIS WIFE STAYED WITH HIM AND HAD ANOTHER CHILD WITH HIM!!! They both belong in prison. He’s a child molester and she should be charged with child endangerment.
minx says
I’m pretty sure they only have one child, a girl, Kate.
scumby says
you believe the gold digging liar?
ValleyOfTheGalls says
@ minx
I just looked up his bio. You’re right, 1 child.
It’s still astonishing that she didn’t immediately dump him.
@ scumby
She may very well be a gold digging liar. However, he’s on tape in a psychiatrist’s office saying that he exposed himself and put at least one girls hand on his penis. He confessed to molesting 3 girls under the age of 14. One was a relative of his first wife on occasions when she was 11, 12 and 13.
KanganManga says
Omg…this is one of the most disgusting I have ever heard. PLEASE make it not so.
Stars In My Eyes says
Nasty witch. I can’t stand Kathy Griffin even on her least controversial days. And btw if she’s aware of someone being an abuser, then isn’t she supposed to tell the cops instead of using it as a publicity stunt?
jami123 says
This may just be someone close to her that isn’t even known.
jami123 says
but just incase it isn’t I will guess John Malkovich!!! He definitely gives off a pervert vibe!
jami123 says
oooops its a jack nevermind haha!
hintoflime5 says
Honestly, that’s not a bad guess. Jack is a nickname for John.
Lstromes says
Not Jack McBrayer according to her twitter.
CatBallou says
Agree with the Jack McGee guess
Becky S says
Spill it Kathy. If you know of a pedophile, call the police and start talking. The cover up of sexual wrongs in the entertainment industry is rampant and vile. Children should be safe in a civilized country.
scumby says
is it someone her pedophile brother knew?
SleuthingForFun says
I have no idea, but if she knows then she needs to name and shame, not play the social media game. This is too serious of a topic for games and sicko’s don’t change they just keep abusing.
rhchapin says
Maybe Jack M abused her as a child?
lookingin says
if she does have any truthful knowledge of this kind, I sure hope the police are knocking on HER DOOR, Cite her for either calling wolf or protecting someone from a crime, she such an idiot to even do anything like this.
tularosa says
This is awful – if someone knows who Jack M….by playing this guessing game you are leaving a child vulnerable out there. What an unethical way to use social media Kathy Griffin. Child molestation is in no way a game to be played out in twitter. I am surprised she is not more sensitive since she herself says she experienced child molestation. Very puzzling!
iknowits says
She prob has no proof but maybe this tweet will encourage someone with proof to come forward.
Just look at how they’re going after Stephen Collins wife now, blaming her as if she’s the one who molested children. She went to the police in 2012 when she found out. I’m just glad it’s out now. Those women are probably saying I told you so to a lot of people. Because without the tape who would’ve believed them?
And who would believe Kathy without proof? I hope the tweet helps someone to speak up.
Jack could be also be John, Jackson etc
Samie says
If Corey Feldman can be believed (and I do), Hollywood is awash with pedophiles who have unsupervised control over children. These men need to be exposed (sic) and convicted. Too bad it’s so hard to catch them in a timely way, especially if police ignore the tips they’re getting about the crimes! These actors and executives are despicable in their abuse of the young.
shauxnough says
I wonder if its the name of a character this person played…
yeahemily says
Jack McGee? He and kathy seem to have acted together
Amy123 says
Thank you to the people here who cleared up it is NOT Jack McBrayer, everyone please take note! No innocent man deserves this label hanging over him.
rorythedragon says
Maybe Jack M is the name of a character, not an actor. This could also be some ill-thought out tweet that was meant to get traction and later she would say it was her dog or something. Pity to anyone named Jack M today if that’s the case.
MizzAnon says
I don’t think it’s anyone actually named Jack – that’s too obvious. Jack is another form of John. So I would gather it’s a John M… or maybe folks are right with the Jack N. guess but I don’t think she’d be that obvious. I like her cajones tho! You go girl.
Buckskinlady says
Her Ex-husband’s name is Matt Moline and neither he nor his sister Rebecca Moline list the names of their parents on any IMDB or Wikipedia records so I’m wondering if the M stands for Moline and it might be a male relative of their family named Jack.
keenobserver says
that’s an interesting guess!
JToma16 says
Are there any notable characters with the initials Jack M? Rather than the real actor, it could be a famous character he played.
KatarinaJ says
Yeah I hope the she reads these blinds and realizes we all think she is a royal b*tch because if she DOES know something she sure as hell should be calling the police. And if it is just a joke, well, it was a bad one lost on everyone.
LiamForeman says
Totally agree. But since her brother was a pedophile I just can’t believe she would joke about a subject like this. It is such poor taste, and I don’t even feel comfortable hazarding a guess because it’s not fair.
MikeInSanJose says
Let’s try again…
Paul Pape.
“Played” Lt. Jack M. Keller in Need for Speed: Undercover (2008) a video game.
He’s in the industry, member of the Academy and serves on the board of SAG Foundation.
Same age range as Collins (b. 1952)
He was in Saturday Night Fever…
Totally grasping at straws?
mhatr says
Every Jack is now getting dragged thru the mud because this a$$ would rather tweet than do the right thing and report her suspicions to the police. She should now be an accessory to this man’s crimes. What a vile person she is.
The Next Mrs Williams says
I read an article recently that touched on her being abused by a friend of her brothers when she was little. She also doesn’t talk to the same brother because she suspects he’s a pedophile. Maybe it’s her abuser..or her brother. Although, it sounds like that would upset her mom so probably not the brother.
slantrhyme says
It might not be a celebrity at all. Maybe he’s someone she knew in the past.
blahblahblahblahblah says
Why is everyone assuming this is an actor? It could be someone behind the scenes like a producer, director, writer or studio exec. There’s no reason to assume that it’s an actor. Maybe someone that worked behind the scenes on 7th Heaven?
In any case, today is a bad day for all dudes named Jack with an ‘m’ last name.
Revisionist says
good god yall…. all over the internet people are DEMANDING Kathy come forward and go to the police. Doesn’t everyone realize that there is a difference between second hand knowledge and/or gossip/rumors than being an actual witness or victim. Like there is one guy me and friends know and its fairly common knowledge he has violent episodes and beats up his GFs. Problem is that none of us has actually witnessed it. None of can press any charges. All we have is hearsay and circumstantial evidence.
justguessinginbrooklyn says
People are upset that Kathy Griffin is tweeting instead of going to the police, but it is possible that she also has gone to the police.
Jessicake says
I have no guess about this but for all the people wondering why she hasn’t gone to the police, I can’t imagine that she hasn’t. Her oldest brother was a pedophile and she cut him out of her life and fought with her family about it for years. It isn’t something she takes lightly. God knows what she was thinking when she wrote that tweet because it is weird, but there’s no way that she’s just sitting on her hands if she knows something about someone.
aykaysee says
I have to defend Kathy here because some of the comments are really uncalled for. Kathy’s brother is a pedophile and she went to the police to turn him in, but without concrete proof or a victim coming forward the police could do and did nothing. She wrote about this in her book. This is something she feels strongly about so I seriously doubt it’s a joke or a call for attention. I’m positive she would scream this person’s name from every rooftop but without proof she would just be sued to high heaven. The scandal of that would overshadow the actual crime. We can only hope a victim will be inspired to come forward and reveal this “Jack M.” She’s not a b*tch, she truly cares, but there is really only so much she can do.
rhonda says
I agree. I posted my own comment before reading yours. She could have alerted the authorities and is doing all she can do as someone who knows of a victim but has no proof.
piglet says
Jack Maggs is an unsavoury character in a Peter Carey novel
Jinkies says
If she is aware of a known pedophile, she should alert the authorities and not allow other people to be falsely accused as the result of her tweet. Her tweet is going to garner a lot of guesses and they aren’t all going to be correct, but the rumor mills may falsely guess someone who is not guilty of this hideous crime yet they may be unjustly labeled as a pedophile despite this fact.
If Kathy knows about someone who molests precious children and jokes about it but doesn’t disclose information to the police, then that tells you what type of moral compass Ms. Griffin possesses.
If this is a tweet made out of spite, then she should be held accountable for those actions.
Going to the police and documenting child molestation with an official statement when true is the only way to bring pedophiles to justice. Look at how many people remained silent about Jerry Sanduskey when they had personally witnessed him in situations which left no doubt about what he was doing? You don’t just go to another coach or a university official, or a movie studio or agent, etc. you go directly to the police at point one – they are the ones who can actually begin an investigation and get professionals involved who are experienced in speaking with victims of sexual abuse without allowing the chance of a total cover-up by enablers who don’t want anyone to know.
aperitto says
Totally agree. If you know someone is molesting children, you report it to the police. Maybe nothing can’t be done until the pervert gets reported by a victim, but it still the least you can do to protect innocent lives.
I never liked her
stonn says
Maybe she really wants people to know who it is and used Twitter to smoke them out. You need solid proof or a corroborating witness(or an actual victim) to file a police report, otherwise the cops wont even bother investigating the allegations of child abuse. Perhaps by calling out this Jack M., she’s trying to nudge actual victims into bringing him to justice. Just my additional two cents.
allmyfriendsaredead says
poor Jack McBrayer, I’m sure his twitter has been inundated with “Kathy griffin says you a pedo!!” messages
rhonda says
If you listen to Marc Maron’s podcast, she had a deep discussion about pedophilia and her feelings. I don’t think Jack M has to be a celebrity. It can be someone she has heard about or known about in her past. Although I agree that the authorities should be alerted immediately, this may be something someone told her or she heard about. She may not have proof and/or the person could be an adult friend who told her this in confidence. All these could not involve her. Also, maybe she HAS alerted the authorities, but has no taped recording as evidence or any past victims of Jack M. For all we know, the authorities have looked into it and can’t prove anything so she has decided to take the next step and make him nervous.
wendy hood says
Pretty sure everyone that isn’t a pedophile has a strong stance against pedophiles.
tarap says
I agree with everyone who is saying that she should contact authorities. However, keep in mind that people who do contact authorities are ignored or the Hollywood machine shuts them down to protect their interests, financial and legal. Fast.
Hollywood has shown they don’t care. Polanski, who drugged and boozed a 13 year old girl and performed multiple vile acts of sexual assault and chose to flee instead of take his punishment, was awarded an Oscar recently. Tells you everything you need to know.
Look at what happened to the guy who accused Bryan Singer and his buddies of pedophilia. It was fast and ugly. Have you heard a thing about it since? No.
Corey Feldman reported his abuser to authorities. They ignored it. How can Nickelodeon and Disney not know about the very loud rumors of very specific people? Yet nothing.
So- perhaps she is going the public shaming route, trying to get authorities to act by making it impossible to ignore. I don”t know, of course, I just wonder. I really really hope that the FBI is able to prosecute this group of sickos as a ring, thus making it a bigger case and casting a very wide net.
daisygirl35 says
I hate to guess this because I love him….but I was saying Jack M to myself and it sounded like Jackman. Could this be Hugh Jackman?
i-got-it says
Michael Jackson
i-got-it says
I was also thinking Sean Hayes like someone had mentioned but i couldn’t think why until I remembred jack McFarlane was his whole name. I love him though so I hope it’s not him
BitByte420 says
Jack is a nickname for James. James M + Hollywood Actor Producer director on google gave me: James Mangold. He work with Bryan Singer on an Xman movie too i believe. hrrrmmmm
blahblahblahblahblah says
No, “Jim” is a nickname for James. “Jack” is a nickname for John.
Bamadex says
Unless she has proof, or a victim willing to come forward, there’s not much the police can do.
In any case, who says she hasn’t alerted the authorities privately?
Wifabif says
Jack is used as a nickname for john. Maybe John m? John Malkovich? Comedian John Mulaney?
hollywoodvoyuer says
it is pretty common knowledge that this stuff goes on. It doesn’t mean Kathy actually witnessed it, but she has probably heard the stories, as have most people here in Hollywood. One of the reasons so many child stars end up messed up drug addicts who act out is because of them being either pimped out by their parents to land a job. Many stage mothers and fathers will turn the other way as long as they get their payday off their kid. So for Kathy to make that comment does not mean she was there in the room and saw something, but knows of the abuse that goes on in the Hollywood system. I would not throw rocks at her for saying it.
jami123 says
Man that is sick… Hollyweird!! Would explain all the mental breakdowns they have. Hopefully Amanda Bynes didn’t go through something like this!
dawnro says
Y’all aren’t thinking old school enough. JACKie Mason!
