In 1993, 38 year-old Jerry Seinfeld met 17 year-old Shoshanna Lonstein in a New York City park. The pair proceeded to date for four years. Shoshanna was Seinfeld’s date for awards shows, basketball games, and brunches at Hollywood hotspots. And yet, no one questioned the ethics of a public relationship with such a profound power imbalance. Sadaf and Sarah discuss why Hollywood didn’t judge Jerry’s decision to date someone so young at the time. They also consider why the comedy legend seems to have escaped a Me Too era reckoning.
