Legendary Disney voice actor Jim Cummings — known for characters like Tigger, Mickey Mouse villain, Pete, and Winnie the Pooh — is currently locked in a bitter war with his ex-wife and she is claiming years of abuse by the star, including sexual assault, drug addiction and animal abuse.

According to documents obtained by The Blast, Stephanie claims that since her divorce from Jim, he "has engaged in physical, sexual and emotional abuse including but not limited to death threats, rape, and various sexual deviant behavior forced upon me without my consent."

Well...this is disappointing to hear if true.

Oh no. That's pretty devastating.

His Lord Boxman performance was one of my favorite characters in recent television, will be incredibly awkward and sad to hear it again.

Holy shit.

Like, don't get me wrong, I do not condone this in the slightest. But man... ... ...this would be something that'd break my heart. He's a huge part of Winnie the Pooh for me and my love for that world and those characters, even now as a nearly 30 year-old man.

I don't know what to think right now...

Some poster here alluded to this a while ago. Holy shit, he was right?

Fuck this timeline. Another childhood hero who ended up being a shitbag.

Is this site legit? I expected something this big to be on a bunch of big news outlets. Looks like this is making it's rounds on FB etc but looks very tabloidy?

Here's hoping this is a smear attempt by his ex-wife. Otherwise, that would be incredibly troubling. He has had his hands on too many excellent properties and they would be damaged from here on out.

Edit: Actually I don't want it to seem like I'm giving this person and his alternate memories of events any kind of benefit of the doubt, so forget what I said.

Yo he fucking admitted to the animal abuse:
In her argument to get full custody of the two children, Stephanie claims Jim once abused the family puppy to the point where it almost died.
Stephanie says she and Jim had purchased a dog and the animal urinated in the house. As a result, Stephanie says Jim "took the dog and placed it inside a metal bucket outside of the house on a day which it was over 100 degrees, then left it there for a long time," adding, "The dog came close to dying."
In response to the animal abuse allegations, Jim admitted to the incident, but says, "There was an incident where I put a 'tub' (not a metal bucket) over a dog to isolate it briefly as a form of discipline to its behavior at our vet's suggestion, and unfortunately I forgot the dog was there for a while, but then of course I released it."

Also this is fucking revolting. (And it sounds like she has court docs of him responding and of specific incidents.) If she has proof he's done like holy fuck.
The ex-couple has also been fighting for custody and support payments and, in legal documents, Stephanie claims Jim would withhold payments of support and "demand sex from me in exchange for meeting his support obligations."
In 2015, she claims Jim showed up to her home and confronted her while on a date with an off-duty police officer, and the man was forced to pull his gun to make Jim leave the scene.

Stephanie says the constant harassment from Jim resulted in a decline in her health, so in 2017, she moved to Utah with their two daughters.
During a visit to see the children, she claims Jim asked to stay at the house and she allowed it. However, during the middle of the night, she claims Jim was "standing over me with his erect penis in my hand. He was using my hand to stroke his penis while my youngest daughter was asleep on the other side of me. She was 10 years old at the time."

It's a rag, but a TMZ-esque rag, so they wouldn't likely fabricate things entirely. The reason it probably hasn't hit mainstream news is because it's based on divorce proceedings.

How reliable is the Blast?
Because reading the article the levels of depravity described sound, like... pants-shittingly awful. I'm fully prepared to believe the victim of course, but I wanna make sure this isn't like some kinda tabloid or something.


Edit: Seems they are reasonably reliable... TMZ-esque. Probably wouldn't make shit up but could be exaggerating some things. Still, though... Oof. I hope for the best for his ex then, and he definitely should not be left alone with children if he'd do such things in the vicinity of them, asleep or no.

Someone in the Vic Mignona thread, another voice actor who's been a sex pest. At the time it seemed, to me, like the poster was trying to deflect from the horrible stuff Vic did but maybe they really were lowkey trying to say something bad was going on in ADDITION...

Mmm. That's very true. But the incidents happened over a long period of time and if there are documentation to legit any of it then it would be insanely easy to prove. Stuff like the dog getting abused would have medical reports by the vet, right? And the off duty cop could testify too.

Crazy if true.

Edit: Also death threats. That's also pretty fucking easy to prove with emails or recordings. And the police report.

Divorce proceedings can get pretty crazy in regards to lies told about one another, but the scope and detail of the allegations, along with her seeking restraining orders previously, really makes me think that he is the monster she paints him to be.

Let's wait until we have more facts until we condemn the man. I regret doing that to Johnny Depp after I found out he himself was the victim of domestic abuse.
