UPDATE: Increasingly implausible posts from Tuthmosis, the source of all the “information” about Roosh’s alleged arrest, make it pretty clear this was a hoax.
UPDATE 2: And Roosh has officially admitted it:
Tuthmosis and I conspired to prank the internet that I was in jail. The picture used is from the German DDR museum. …
I expect many of you to be annoyed, and I hope Tuth and I didn’t betray your trust with the prank, but the security and viability of the forum was never compromised and the picture was just too good not to use. Credit goes to Tuth for his “new rules” (http://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-33639-…#pid667804 ), which—if you were in on the joke—was quite amusing. I also did not expect the story to be as believed as it was, since there are many flaws in the picture that suggest it’s not a real jail cell, but on the other hand, the prospect of me going to jail is not unexpected. If you are pissed off, I recommend you read Tuth’s bulletins to see the humor in the prank (the “bill me later” option was my favorite).
I do sincerely appreciate the thoughts of concern of my Polish imprisonment. Now of course I really will be jailed and no one will believe it because of this false jailing accusation. In case of a real “involuntary absence” from the forum, I trust Tuth to continue moderation efforts. For many years he has selflessly helped me maintain the community we have and not actually gone mad with power.
On a positive note, we managed to troll the tub of estrogen Manboobz and his readers.
Interesting that the people who fell the hardest for his hoax were his own fans. Also, I’m not sure that me posting something that essentially said “here’s something that looks a bit fishy that’s being reported by someone who may well be lying” really counts as “being trolled.”
ORIGINAL POST:
Before I go into any details here I want to say that all of this is coming from Roosh’s forum and hasn’t been confirmed in any way. So treat it with however much skepticism you deem appropriate. For all I know this could be some bizarre publicity stunt to promote Roosh’s blog and his reprehensible Return of Kings website.
But according to Roosh’s pal “Tuthmosis,” who says he is getting his info from a friend of Roosh in Poland, Roosh has been arrested after some sort of violent “confrontation.” Here’s his description of what allegedly happened:
-
Roosh had a violent “confrontation” in Poland
-
He was apprehended by Polish authorities
-
He’s being (or already has been) charged with some sort of crime and being held in jail
In a followup comment he offered additional details about the alleged incident:
-
Confrontation was with Paul/Andre, his gypsy stalker
-
Didn’t start violent, but escalated quickly
-
Witnesses pointed to Roosh
-
There were “serious injuries”
-
Roosh is definitely being charged with something
In response to some skeptics who suggested this might all be a hoax, he wrote:
I too was hopeful this was some sort of joke–even if it meant me having egg on my face–but I just got a message from a second source. This is a guy who does back-end work for ROK and I’ve personally met, so I have no reason to doubt him.
Roosh is definitely being charged with a (serious) crime. The gypsy apparently took a nasty beating. What’s more, witnesses (who may be acquaintances of the gypsy) claim that Roosh was speaking epithets at him and may have used an object to strike him. I don’t know what the Polish laws are, but these circumstances apparently add to the severity of the crime. I got a couple of calls out to see what his legal prospects are, but the language barriers and time difference are making information hard to come by.
Naturally, Roosh’s fans being a bunch of racist assholes, the alleged ethnicity of Roosh’s alleged stalker led to some lovely generalizations about “gypsies” and this comment, from “Walter White,” who suggested that anti-“gypsy” bigotry might just get Roosh off the hook:
Scary stuff. I’ve travelled extensively in the region, and gypsies aren’t well thought of in Eastern Europe. Sounds terrible, but that’s the way it is. I guess an analogy for Americans would be like if a white dude got into a fight with a black guy in the 1940’s in the South. As wrong as it may be, the white guy would be given the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Roosh will get the benefit of that with regard to a fight with a gypsy. Then again, he’s not a Pole – so he’s not gonna get much “home team” advantage.
I guess we’ll see, huh?
That is, assuming this isn’t all a publicity stunt.
Odd that Roosh appears to have emerged apparently unscathed from such an allegedly violent confrontation. His hair isn’t even mussed up.
Either he was trolling or there was a post about some shit he wrote, Bina – can’t recall which.
Bina: Yeah, he did. He was this particularly clueless vile human being:
http://manboobz.com/2014/01/16/become-a-total-alpha-male-sex-god-by-spitting-in-womens-mouths/
He seems like exactly the kind of person who might’ve seen the inside of a jail cell at some point.
Oh yeah, he was the turd who had this post and then got himself banned in the comments:

Actual words from Roosh in that thread LOL what a weirdo
Ninjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaed!
Next time I want to flirt with a cute girl I’ll tell her that I was jailed for possessing an ounce of marijuana*. That’s sure to make her gina tingle.
*never actually happened don’t worry guys
Wasn’t he the one who claimed to be named after a dog who’d died and was trying to make us feel bad for mocking his name for that reason? Slimy asshole, iirc.
But I thought Roosh was meant to be having sex ALL THE TIME anyway – or he’d decided he doesn’t really like it and it’s got nothing to do with him becoming impotent, not at all – so why would he need some extra lie to get more sex?
Are his blow-up dolls starting to give the side-eye to his tales?
Yep, he was.
cassandra, yup, that was him.
Fisto was the guy who’s red pill was a stool softener.
He seemed to think lions pooped out Sean Connery.
@sparky: Thanks, I knew I recognized that name from somewhere. Ewwwww.
And speaking of ewwwwwwwww:
LOL, what a pathetic admission. Why not just get a tattoo in your forehead reading “Will Sex For Food”, if you’re that hard up for action? I had a boyfriend who was jailed once, and not only did I NOT find him more attractive for it, I was actively ashamed of him. Especially in front of my folks.
He lost two highly “respected” forum members over this.

Gotta love his forum signature. Classy.
And MikeCF:
But my favorite part is Tuthmosis’ passive-aggressive response:
What a beta!
I think the guys who’ve gone to jail for committing embezzlement are so hawt. /s
If it was payment after sex, he’d starve.
I’m finding that forum thread hilarious. Here’s another comment:
Nope. It means you screwed up big time.
Thanks cloudiah! 🙂
Doesn’t look around much, does he?
Toothy’s response is so typical. “You don’t get to decide how you respond to my behaviour!”
The popcorn, it’s so buttery:
I bet he says that to all the girls, too.
Oh yeah, who was that twerp who was on about short hair, again?
Priceless seeing them parrotting “check your privilege” on there.
This is magnificently amusing.
Wait, wait, wait; is he saying that people are not allowed to stop reading and commenting on an Internet forum?
Bina – yep, that’s exactly what I was thinking.
They’ll be WARNED and FINED if they try!
“we managed to troll the tub of estrogen..”
I’m trying to decide what is more pathetic, faking your imprisonment to try and get some attention or thinking that being a Polish felon would upgrade your resume with girls?
