For any fan of Misha to believe what he supposedly said in today's panel about taking a prank too far, they must either be new to the fandom, or have absolutely no memory of these stories before.

Let's be honest, the fans who think Misha's telling the truth "this time" absolutely know it's not true and are using this new story to persecute Jared, once again.

For those who haven't seen, here are the tweet reports from Misha's panel. Obviously, video will provide proof, but there are enough details to get the gist and these aren't the standard Misha-fan con reporters that like to lie about or twist what was said.

So, the original story about Jared taking a picture was told by Misha on the Inside of You podcast (see below). There was no zero gravity dive. Misha simply forgot to lock the bathroom door. Jared took a picture of him on the toilet, not naked and with no urine in sight. And yes, in retaliation, Misha flushed Jared's phone... the one that had the only pictures of his son, Shep's birth.

As for the getting knocked around, being covered in urine, etc. That comes from a trip Misha took with Rich, Rob, and Matt down to Australia for a convention. Misha tells the story here:

Matt, Rob and Rich have all corroborated that story here and here. It's actually a pretty funny story on it's own.

So, Misha put together some mash up of these two stories, making him the victim (once again) of a dangerous stunt supposedly perpetrated by Jared (which no pilot would ever agree, especially without all passengers belted).

If you haven't caught on by now, Misha lies. And he lies for a purpose. Most often, it's to engender sympathy from his fans so they'll continue to see him as poor, picked-on Misha who can related to them because they are also the 'outcasts' in their world. And if he can relate to them, then they'll continue to give him their money.

You may also wonder why Misha frequently references Jared as being the one to prank him (and often, the only one). One, because he needs Jensen as the other half of the Destiel pairing, which is another way to keep his fans dropping money in the coffers. And two... jealousy. From past stories and behavior, it's obvious Misha's jealous that Jared is as successful as he is, someone who never went to college but has worked steadily for over 24 years in an industry rife with unemployment. Misha likes to say things that imply Jared's only gotten by on his looks and not any kind of talent, but we know that's simply not the case. Actor's aren't employed for that long and that consistent on their looks alone. Talent and hard work are also needed, two traits which Misha obviously doesn't have, so he resorts to stringing along his dwindling fanbase with any story he can, regardless of it's veracity or whom it may hurt in the process.

Finally, Misha knows exactly who his fans are and how his fanbase takes the things he's said, so if he's ever called out and says he was joking and that people misinterpreted what he said, he's lying. And I'd say that lying was the only thing he was good at if it weren't so easy to debunk the lies.

So, Misha announces an auction/donation to his own wallet drive nearly a month after the LA fires at the same time R2 are playing up Destiel on their podcast. Coincidence? Or a ploy orchestrated to invigorate Misha's fanbase by giving them "validation" and driving them back to Misha and his newest grift?

And of course, Richard (and his wife) are involved, so it's likely they're benefiting financially, as well. And if that's the case, could this connection be what Misha used to get R2 to talk Destiel?

I guess nothing says SPN Family like taking advantage of the fans and their generosity through lies and pandering.

Wasn't there something last year about RA no longer being legally licensed to collect donations? Or am I thinking about a different charity? Definitely something connected with Misha though.

They're no longer licensed to collect donations in California. They've applied for their registration, but it's been denied, likely because they're missing the prior year's tax form.

I don't know how accurate the RA website is, but the latest tax form listed is for year 2020. If they haven't filed since then, they're going to be in trouble pretty soon. Nonprofits that don't file their taxes three years in a row may owe income tax and could have their tax-exempt status revoked. (Frankly, not the worst thing to happen to that supposed non-profit.)

Putting sketchiness of RA aside for a moment, doesn’t anyone else think Misha burning a flipping shirt with a lighter and suggesting others do so too in "support" of people who lost their homes and more to fire is in incredibly poor taste and kind of gross?

It’s like saying, "grope a stranger, and donate to RA to show support those who have suffered from SA!"

Misha is such a creepy weirdo.

Misha doesn't know the meaning of appropriate (or he does and just doesn't care). If you think someone's gone too low, Misha will always go lower.

Yep, Misha never met a depth he wouldn't sink to.

He'd sell his grandmother for a nickel if he thought it would get him some attention.

Yep!

Didn't Misha once use RA money to give to his mother? Or something along those lines? Either way, he's a greasy little con artist for whom charity really does begin at home.

There was definitely something fishy going on there. Here's a thread I located with receipts. (Check the notes and reblogs for more info.) https://www.tumblr.com/eisforeidolon/185680362181/eisht-youmightbeanidiotif

It seems Misha's true career is being a con-artist, and he lucked into the SPN fandom where he found a group of simple-minded people ready and waiting to be his marks.

What's especially despicable is that he uses disasters/conflicts (North Carolina flooding, LA fires, Ukraine war), where real people are suffering, to line his own pockets. That's a level of callousness that puts him on par with the politicians he claims to hate.

The non-ethical part occurs where it's likely the majority of donations sit in the designated fund earning interest/investment dividends, which can be used by Misha for non-charitable purposes.

Eventually, the actual donations will have to be used for a charitable cause, but there's no timeline requirement.

So while technically not breaking any laws it certainly goes against the spirit of charitable giving. But with Dmitri involved, I'm not in the least bit surprised that he'd use a charity as his own personal bank. He's so skeevy he makes a snake oil salesman look like Mary Poppins.

Exactly! Misha's not in it because he cares about helping people. He only cares about his own wallet and the attention it gives him. Likewise, a lot of his fans who only donate to RA do so because they think it earns them fandom points with Misha. If they truly cared about the causes RA claims they support, they'd be better off donating to the dozens of other charities that actually use the majority of the money donated for the actual cause.

Here's what I've noticed about Moosha. He's obviously smart enough to manipulate his fans through queerbaiting and giving suggestive non-answers in order to get their money. He plays up his charities as though he's this great philanthropist. But, he's socially awkward and off-putting around other people. If he's smart enough to read the audience, he's smart enough to follow social cues, which means he's weird on purpose and plays that up. He wants to be seen as the marginalized, bullied, outsider, but what he's doing is basically co-opting those behaviors from people who actually do struggle socially. It's just another con. There is no authenticity to him.
