Howie Mandel Trolls Bill Burr After Being Called ‘Hollywood Wh-re’ in Cringe-Filled Instagram Post
In a hilarious and unexpected turn of events, comedian and TV personality Howie Mandel has responded to being referred to as a "Hollywood wh-re" by his fellow comedian and actor Bill Burr.
The drama began when Burr took to social media to rant about the so-called "enablers" in the comedy world, using the term to describe Mandel and other comedians he deemed to be "sucking up" to industry bigwigs to get ahead. The comment quickly sparked a firestorm of outrage, with many fans defending Mandel against the harsh criticism.
Rather than rising to the bait, however, Mandel chose to take the high road – and then promptly drop-kicked his critics with an epic troll job on Instagram.
Taking to his account, Mandel posted a photo of himself giving a sassy pose on a jungle gym, captioning the image: "Just got called a Hollywood wh-re, but honestly, I’m just a 65-year-old guy who still swings…from the monkey bars #ageism #whateva."
The post quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, with fans praising Mandel for his light-hearted response to the insult. It’s clear that Mandel’s wit and humor have once again won over the internet, with many fans declaring, "Only Howie Mandel could make being called a ‘Hollywood wh-re’ a laughing matter!"
Burr, on the other hand, seemed to take his earlier comments a bit too far, and his followers are now reeling from the intense shade he’s thrown. One fan even joked that Mandel’s troll job was the "most Israel-worthy [sic] takedown of 2023" – a nod to the late-night talk show host’s notorious sharp wit and quick retorts.
In the end, it’s clear that Mandel has emerged victorious in this bizarre Twitter spat – and fans can’t get enough of his unapologetic, no-need-to-hurry brand of humor.
