The voice of Elmo, Kevin Clash, whom Most of us have seen on screen and cherished since our childhood days, has resigned from his place amid sexual allegations of abusing underage boys.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in New York by 24-year-old college student Cecil Singleton accuses Clash of engaging in sexual behavior with him over a two-week period while he was underage. Singleton said they met on a gay chat line.
Amid the allegations, Clash Had this to say.
"personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."
In my personal Opinion? I say Bull. I watched the Guy's documentary, I met the guy when I was about 8 years old, and I say absolute crap. Maybe i'm being Bull headed, But I can't see the guy doing something like this. Heres to hoping the allegation is false, and an Iconic voice can emerge from this unscathed.
