Beef star David Choe attempts to scrub Twitter of podcast clip in which he admits to "rapey behavior"

As Netflix’s buzzy new “Spy vs. Spy” riff Beef sits at the top of Netflix’s charts, star David Choe finds himself using copyright to clean the internet of a widely shared clip in which he admits to “rapey behavior.” After the clip hit Twitter last week, Motherboard reports that Choe, who plays Isaak, the cousin of Steve Yuen’s character on Beef, has used copyright takedowns to scrub the internet of the clip. As this clip has been a repeated source of controversy in Choe’s life, he’s made numerous statements apologizing for the episode, saying he made comments in edgelord jest and they did not reflect his actions.

The clip comes from a 2014 episode of Choe’s now-defunct podcast DVDASA (Double Vag, Double Anal, Sensitive Artist) entitled “Erection Quest,” which probably tells us everything we need to know about the type of humor the show dealt in. In the clip, Choe tells his co-host and adult film actor Asa Akira about the time he forced oral sex from a masseuse at a massage parlor.

“I’m getting turned on just telling this story,” he says. “I just take her hand and I put it on my dick. She just holds it there.”

“She’s in denial,” he continues. “So I go, ‘Can I help you?’ And she’s like, ‘All right, all right.’ So now I’m holding her hand around my dick, and I start jerking my dick off. I was like, ‘Spit on it.’ She’s like, ‘Uhh, no. I don’t wanna do that.’ I was like, ‘No, spit on my dick.’ She’s like, ‘No. This is crazy.’ She’s definitely not into it, but she’s not stopping it either. She won’t spit on it, so I was like, ‘Kiss it.’ She’s like ‘No, there’s all the oil.’”

“I take the back of her head and I push it down on my dick, and she doesn’t do it, and I go, ‘Open your mouth,’ and she does it, and then I start face-fucking her.”

“You’re basically telling us that you’re a rapist right now, and the only way to get your dick hard is rape,” Akira said.
