In the conclusion of what is probably the saddest meme of all time (see: internet gangs up on little girl, her father hits her, she gets put in foster care), Jessi Slaughter's father, Gene Lionhardt, has passed away at the age of 53. Goofnight, sweet prince. (via boingboing.net)
Jessi Slaughter and her dad made another memorable appearance online this morning. There is speculation that her dad even slapped her during the latest outburst, which was recorded by Jessi's friends in a tinychat room.
Via The DW: “In a world full of ever-changing consequences, one man is about to goof. This summer, Gene Leonhardt is: Her Father.”
Your new favorite video: “Consequences will never be the same.” Jessi Slaughter, aka Jessica Leonhardt, got trolled by both 4chan and Tumblr for posting a “fuck the haters” video. Here, her father lets them know they messed with the WRONG DAUGHTER, explaining how he's “backtraced the emails.” If you want more backstory, see Gawker's finger-waggy write-up. Really, though, just watch this.
