Do the people disparaging Victor’s academic merit here know anything about his academic record, or have they simply based their in-depth knowledge of his merit upon seeing a picture of him? As drama school points out, Victor is an incredibly gifted individual. As someone who has read his plays, I’ll vouch for that.

I really don’t understand why Victor is being portrayed as the villain here. Because he’s in Skull and Bones? The last time I checked, checking someone into a mental institute when they threaten to commit suicide is the right thing to do. So is letting an authority know that someone is storing suspicious personal information for other people on his computer. Sure Akash is charming and bright, but he’s the one who committed the fraud here.

ok dart07, and in that case akash probably needs psychological help. but should he really be charged with larceny for money that went directly to the school?? if someone had paid for yale out of their own pocket, they couldn’t be charged, they would just be kicked out of school for doing what akash is accused of doing. which means he is being charged because he’s poor? outrageous! (and i’m not the only one, the l.a. times said this as well) he also didn’t deserve to have his belongings destroyed (or stolen) by the same boyfriend who abandoned him when he clearly needed psychological help. i know victor must be your boy, so i’m not trying to rag him here, just giving two sides to the story. if even you think akash is “charming and bright” then isn’t all of this a tad bit much? ruining his life and humiliating him in every possible way? how could someone do that to a person they ever claimed to love?

neither if these boys is evil – and certainly not victor – but i know i wouldn’t want to be with a snitch who showed no compassion at the precise moment I needed it.

there’s so much that’s sad about this story.

yeah, yale08, you’re right. i bet if you discovered that your boyfriend was not in fact a 21-year-old wealthy British citizen as he had told you, but was actually a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago who threatened to kill you and stole his friends social security and credit card numbers, you would stay with him no questions asked.

victor didn’t ruin askash’s life or humiliate him. he did that to himself along with the yale daily news. if victor had wanted to humiliate him and ruin his life, he could have gone to the new york times last may when he first discovered Akash’s web of lies and it would have been national news a year ago.

From the way some of Victor’s friends carry on, I’d think he was the return of the Messiah cum playwright (cum cum eater, but I digress). A veritable Great White Hope, albeit Latino.
You theater spazzes truly are drama queens: you take every remark as a world-shattering attack. If he is that superb a playwright, do you need to defend him from anonymous commenters? Really? It just makes you look insecure.

exactly pity! thank you! i’ve actually seen some of this guy’s work and he’s certalinly talented but he lacks discipline in a lot of areas. there are moments and scenes of real beauty but he seems to lack the ability to make real CHOICES in his writing. that of course will probably come with time and like i said, his indeed talented, but will you guys please calm down and get over yourselves? greatest playwright of our generation is a laughable hyperbole.

and to the other poster who asked, unless victor himself was lying to akash and others, he is apparently a B/C student and his GPA isn’t that great. but then i guess i’d be too lazy to do my schoolwork too if i had a boyfriend buying me things all the time…

oh and drama school, first of all, akash is not an illegal immigrant (he has a green card) so i don’t know why you all keep perpetuating that thoroughly bigoted remark. as if being an illegal alien were a sin in itself? HA! seems like you picked up nothing from the “great writing” from the “great playwright” whose balls you’re obviously sucking. isn’t victor’s work all about the porous boundaries between borders, immigration rights etc? or is that something he and his friends only talk about when it’s cool to do so? secondly, victor only cared about akash’s money which is why he was disappointed to find out that akash wasn’t wealthy even though he didn’t bother to ask about the family’s current situation or what might have happened in past two years to cause a change in their finances. i’m not saying the relationship was good or that victor didn’t have every right to end it (and akash had absolutely no right to threaten suicide as a way to keep him, he should have just let victor go) but let’s not pretend that victor wasn’t interested in using akash for his money (and did exploit him financially throughout the semester).

I’m good friends with a good friend of Victor’s and I have to say, I never could stand him. He’s pompous and full of himself, and only Yale actors lacking the astute acumen and real refinement of someone with taste (for you idiot actors who are obviously posting here while you jerk off to Victor’s scripts, I just alliterated twice) would think his writing is the second coming. (Though I’m sure he cums when he reads it himself) He’s also pretty selfish and doesn’t really care about the people closest to him. (His bad mouthing and mistreatment of one of his “best friends” is particularly heinous after everything this friend has done for him. Oh yes Victor, everything you’ve said gets back to us!) I never met this roguish rapscallion Akash, but I galloped over to Gawker and well…I’m baffled. Why anyone cute would show any interest in Victor at all is beyond me. And Victor, I’m sure you’re quite happy to have your society swine yes men (and women) fawning all over you, nursing your wounds and rubbing your tummy (and probably supporting you financially) and hey, after reading their spirited defense of you, I could see how a Victor disguised as a Victim could be a very appealing drag show. (If you ever write about something like this, I expect a royalty check…oh but who am I kidding? Your plays won’t sell, good thing you’ve already figured out how to siphon dollars from friends and lovers.) I mean if I didn’t know you at all, I’d almost give you a hug. But since I know you quite well, I also know you are quite capable of hugging yourself.

clearly the lat 5-6 posts in the last 30 minutes have been akash’s rapid-fire posts…they all sound the same as the tired defenses from akash, oops i mean his “friends” have been posting here gawker and everywhere else

Wrong. I’ve never been in New Haven for longer than two days — and that was more than enough, thank you very much. Never known either one of these guys. I just hate reading theater shills emoting about how somebody is the undiscovered Voice of Our Generation or a future Important Person. Grow up. If the next Hemingway were in your class, he wouldn’t talk to you, probably would be out carousing instead of moping, and would have long ago kicked your ass.

If Victor/Victoria is so important, let him fund an award in his name after he graduated — like that other self-important douche from Harvard.

yeah…yale 08 you know way to much about victor and the way in which he talks about his work to be anyone other than
a)someone whose worked with him at the drama school–and clearly we’re not talking shit about him since we’re sucking his balls

b)a close friend–clearly not the case since they wouldn’t be talking shit on ivy gate

c)akash

any guesses?

and I didn’t mean “illegal immigrant” as a denigrating remark…just pointing out that telling someone you’re a British citizen in the U.S. on a student visa is very different from being someone from Trinidad and Tobago here illegally…one of the many lies akash told it seems

To be clear: I am not yale08 nor do I know any Yale ’08s. But isn’t it time for an interlude?

Yo CHRISTIANARCHISTI: What do you have to say about all these whiny theater people complaining while they live like kings off the fat of the land, Amerika, that is the scourge of the earth? Whining to build their spoiled-brat empires on the backs of the world? What is to become of them? (Heh.)

oh please, are we supposed to believe these are real?

posting someone’s SSN’s asshole. the police will be contacted and yes they’ve arrested people for making death threats online, so I’m sure they can find you.

look at the SSN’s idiot, they’re different (i.e. made up). You can’t be arrested for posting someone’s fake SSN.

I’m calling the police

i fucking loved volver. it’s his best film and i’m obsessed with all of them. if i weren’t pissed at ‘your people’ for producing, directing and writing “Water,” I’d be happy you wrote this. But as it is, I’m still so fucking disgusted that I watched Water, read the novelization of Water, read “Shooting Water” or whatever the book her daughter wrote is called, and then sat through a panel of Water–and then the movie was nominated instead of Volver. Everyone should learn to let Almodovar deal with women mourning their men and not try to do it themselves. Have you seen dark habits? You must. You simply must.
And i’m sorry I’m rambling. I’m totally kidding about ‘your people’ being responsible. It’s just deepa that’s responsible. And the Sri Lankan government. And I guess the Indian sub continent as a whole. and canada. there are so many people to blame.
i can’t get to them all.

and i take responsibility for alberto gonzalez. he’s my fault.

Victor has had the biggest crushes on David Shieh and Noah Perez-Silverman, NEITHER of whom were ever interested in him. Noah finds Raj Persaud far more interesting, and “isn’t physically attracted to Victor.”

and i’m surprised his friends have such negative views on “illegal aliens” when Victor’s own mother had an affair with an illegal Mexican immigrant who was then deported.
