This Is Us Fans Curse Out Crock-Pots in Wake of Latest Bombshell
This Is Us Spoiler Alert:
Jack Pearson is about to die.
Granted, fans of this emotional NBC drama have known this for several months, but they were given a major clue as to what leads to Jack’s death on This Is Us Season 2 Episode 13.
On Tuesday’s installment, we were treated to a flashback to Jack and Rebecca’s neighbor, George, gifting the young couple with a crock-pot because he and his wife were cleaning out their house in preparation for a sale.
He warned them at the time that the switch had to be fiddled with and that the item was not in mint condition… but that it still worked.
Fast forward 17 years on the show and we witnessed Jack turning off the crock-pot and leaving the room – only for the switch to somehow turn back on!
It sparked. It ignited a dish towel. And it created an blaze that quickly worked its way through the kitchen
Indeed, it looks very much like Jack will die in a house fire and that it will all be this faulty crock-pot will be to blame.
(We’ll finally find out for certain on this Sunday’s post-Super Bowl episode of This Is Us Season 2.)
As a result of this bombshell, This Is Us fans are seriously peeved.
Not at the show, necessarily, but at the appliance that basically takes Jack’s life.
“I just threw my crock-pot out the window….#ThisIsUs,” one fan Tweeted shortly after Tuesday’s hour ended, while another chimed in as follows:
“I will never accept a crockpot as a gift now #ThisIsUs.”
This people seem pretty darn serious. You do NOT mess with Jack Pearson.
“I get married in less than 2 months and suddenly I feel the need to remove the crockpot from the registry. WE. DONT. NEED. IT. #ThisIsUs,” added another disgruntled viewer.
In response to another fan asking on the official Crock Pot Facebook page whether the brand would be airing a Super Bowl ad to address this controversy, the company replied:
“Jack Pearson was our Valentine so we equally understand your pain with his loss. We love him and we love you too.
“Don’t further add to our heartbreak by no longer using Crock-Pot Slow Cookers, rest assured our products have been generationally tested by your family and friends.”
Another Internet user named Ruthie pressed the brand for a response to the matter, noting that “so many people are worried now.
Crock-Pot wrote back: “We’re heartbroken over last night’s episode too!… [W]e’re innocent until proven guilty.”
It got to the point where series creator Dan Fogelman had to jump on Twitter and take a moment to remind angry fans about a certain basic facts:
Later in the day yesterday, as the outcry reached a fevered pitch, Crock-Pot issued the following detailed statement to TV Line:
Crock-Pot understands the concerns brought up by last night’s episode of This Is Us, and we too are heartbroken by the latest development in Jack’s storyline.
However, it is important that our consumers understand and have confidence that all Crock-Pot slow cookers exceed all internal testing protocols and all applicable industry safety standards and regulations as verified by independent third-party testing labs.
For nearly 50 years, with over 100 million Crock-Pots sold, we have never received any consumer complaints similar to the fictional events portrayed in last night’s episode.
In fact, the safety and design of our product renders this type of event nearly impossible.
Our hope is that the team at NBC’s This Is Us will help us spread factual information regarding our product’s safety.
While we know their primary mission is to entertain – something they have continued to excel in – we also feel they have a responsibility to inform.
Just like many fans, we will be watching next week’s episode to see how Jack’s story progresses and, regardless of the outcome, we want consumers first and foremost to know they are safe when using their Crock-Pot.
Wow, huh?
This Is Us fans mean business.
They may end up bringing down an entire slow cooker industry all by themselves.

Khloe Kardashian: Has a Kardashian Curse Sabotaged Tristan Thompson"s Team?
Some people believe that Khloe Kardashian is cursed. And no, that’s not some horrible euphemism for Khloe’s pregnancy.
It sounds silly enough to us, but it’s enough for fans of Tristan Thompson’s sports team to urge him to break it off with his soon-to-be baby mama.
Do you believe in the Kardashian Curse?
Khloe and Tristan have been an item for a while now.
Khloe is, of course, a reality star.
Tristan Thompson is a basketball player. (Basketball being the kind of sportsball where the players are tall and the ball is orange)
Some fans have noted that Khloe is
Earlier this year, someone — apparently a Cleveland Cavaliers fan — tweeted their response to an article that suggested that Khloe and Tristan might wed, writing:
“Nah fam @khloekardashian we good on yalls curse.”
Khloe saw the tweet and decided to clap back:
“Only stupid people believe stupid rumors.”
We wouldn’t really characterize a “curse” as a rumor. A superstition, perhaps? Or a misogynist way to place the blame for male failures at the feet of a woman.
Khloe says that she’s not responsible.
“Please don’t give me that much power.”
Please do not give Khloe any kind of power, folks.
And then Khloe got a little confrontational:
“Lol fool that you are.”
Random tweeters aren’t the only ones who seem to sincerely believe that Khloe Kardashian represents some malediction that effects Tristan’s entire basketball team.
Also, this year, a sports fan created a petition for Tristan to end his relationship with Khloe.
According to Sports Illustrated, the petition read:
“It is almost that time of year again — where we prepare for our long trek back to the NBA Finals.”
Our research tells us that there are some major basketball events during the spring, making us wonder if 2018 will see a similar petition to this one.
“However, this year as the defending champs, we’ve been in sort of a funk.”
That happens to anyone, as individuals or as a group.
All of that was perfectly rational, right up until:
“And it all has to do with the Kardashian Curse.”
The petition’s text continues:
“One of our most beloved athletes, Tristan Thompson, has taken it upon himself to date Khloe Kardashian and by doing so, invited the curse into Cleveland.”
That’s quite the claim.
“The curse has been ruthless to the Cleveland Cavaliers.”
Perhaps, their players haven’t been doing so well. Or opposing teams’ players have been doing very well.
Or, you know, a curse.
“The curse is nothing new however — it has plagued professional athletes such as James Harden, Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, and now our beloved TT.”
Doesn’t every team on the planet have their good days and bad days, though?
We don’t see the Kardashians as wielding, um, supernatural power over athletic competitions. Which would be a weird power to have.
“This is no coincidence. This is the Kardashian Curse in play. And it needs to end now.”
Obviously, that petition was a little tongue-in-cheek. We hope.
Even if you believe in curses — and we won’t tell you what to believe in that regard — surely there would have to be an actual reason for the curse.
Like, if this were all based on the belief that Khloe stole a rock from a sacred mountain and now her lovers are cursed to professional failure, we’d be like “okay.”
Not necessarily believing in that cause-and-effect, but we’d understand the story that the person was telling.
Similarly, if somebody argued that Khloe or Tristan had been actively cursed by someone — maybe cursed by Azealia Banks, for example — we’d get it.
Even so, we don’t buy that Khloe’s cursed. She’s rich and healthy and pregnant with her lover’s child.
Besides, nobody who looks this good modeling fishnets while pregnant could be cursed, right?

Cheryl Burke on Dance Moms: I Broke The Curse!
Now that everyone has had some time to let it sink in that Abby Lee Miller is parting ways with Dance Moms, her replacement, Cheryl Burk took to Instagram in a revealing post.
Her most recent post could have had a dozen meanings, but we kind of think it could be a dig at the outgoing dance teacher.
The above picture has Chloe Lukasiak, Camryn Bridges, Nia Sioux and Reagan Martin looking dressed up for one of the latest competitions on the veteran reality series.
“Broke the Curse #dancemoms,” Cheryl boldly captioned the snap. Without more context, it’s difficult to know exactly what the heck Burke is going on about.
It could all be innocent, but when you consider how strained Abby’s relationship with the girls has been in the past, maybe Burke wants to let the world know she is on much better terms with them.
In another picture, Burke and Lukasiak look cute with dogs snouts. Yes, they should be dancing, but at least they are not bickering.
“Puppy love,” the Dancing with the Stars pro captioned.
It was confirmed last month that Abby Lee Miller was quitting the Lifetime reality series in a scathing rant at the producers of the series.
It reads as follows:
The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement:
I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS.
FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING – TO NO AVAIL!
TODAY, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I WENT AGAINST THE PRODUCER’S IDEA (ONCE AGAIN) TO ENTER A COMMAND PERFORMANCE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS… “WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?”
ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS!
I don’t have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people’s children successful!
I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!
Abby continued to trash the show on social media and interviews, branding the show as fake and claiming the budget was horrible.
If you watch Dance Moms online, you will already know that Abby is not exactly portrayed as the nicest of women. Whether that will be the same edit given to Cheryl is another story.
What do you think about all of this?

LeBron James: The Kardashian Curse is Real!
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won six games and lost nine in the month of March.
They have the second-worst defense in the entire NBA since the All-Star break and have seen their one-large lead for top seed in the Eastern Conference dwindle away to nothing.
And LeBron James knows who to blame for this downfall.
Coach Tyronne Lue, for not instilling a better game plan over the past several weeks?
Point guard Kylie Irving, who told reporters this week he has to “demand more” of himself at a “high level” for Cleveland to rediscover its dominant ways?
Nope and nope.
LeBron has his angry sights set instead on Khloe Kardashian.
The reality star has been dating Cleveland power forward Tristan Thompson throughout the season.
Way back in October, LeBron allegedly expressed displeasure over this relationship, fearing Khloe would infect Thomspon the same way she infected past NBA lovers such as James Harden (whose team nearly missed the playoffs last year) and Lamar Odom (who is lucky to be alive after an overdose in October).
But you can’t defeat true love.
Thompson ignored LeBron’s pleas to remain single at the time and has gone on to average a career high 9.3 rebounds per game this season.
Over the past 10 contests, however, that number have fallen to 7.6 and it’s hard not to wonder if Thompson’s drop in production is related to all those Khloe engagement rumors.
Has he finally lost focus on the NBA season?
James thinks so. Supposedly.
“The Cavs haven’t been playing up to their potential lately, and they’re coming up with every reason possible for their bad play,” a source told Hollywood Life, adding:
“LeBron actually joked and talked about the Kardashian curse being real.”
Ah, yes, the Kardashian curse.
These sisters have dated a number of athletes, that’s for certain.
And it’s hard not to look at the affect Khloe, Kim and kompany have had on their boyfriends or husbands, either during their relationships or soon after.
Kim dated Reggie Bush for a number of years and he’s since bounced all around the NFL, never living up this status at the second overall draft pick.
She also made love at various points to Kris Humphries (never an All-Star) and Miles Austin (who never made a Pro Bowl after the break-up).
We’ve already documented Khloe’s past with Odom and Harden, but she also dated Rashad McCants (43% career field goal percentage), Matt Kemp (career-low .285 on-base percentage last year) and Derrick Ward (out of football since 2011).
You can understand why LeBron is concerned, right?
He isn’t alone, Hollywood Life alleges.
“The Cavs are dodging Tristan now,” the insider says. “Everyone is superstitious that Khloe and the curse have something to do with their poor play.”
Will Tristan actually break Khloe’s heart in an attempt to turn his team’s season around?
Will he put his personal interests above those in the organization?
Or is Cleveland simply taking it easy before the intensity gets ratcheted up for the playoffs, coasting a bit to close out the season in order to peak at the right time in May, and the idea that Khloe has actually cursed the team a bit ridiculous?
Weigh in below with your thoughts!

The Curse of 2016: Why Have So Many Celebrities Died This Year?
In the comments section for her latest post on the blogging site Medium, a writer named Judy Anne was heavily criticized for her overly-simplistic explanation for why so many beloved celebrities prematurely passed away in 2016.
Like so many of us, Judy Anne is desperate to make somehow make sense of how the entertainment world could be shaken by so many tragedies in a single 12-month span.
Unlike the rest of us, she claims to have the answer.
Judy believes that a rise in the use of illicit substances is to blame for the endless string of famous deaths that marred the past year.
Thankfully, dozens of Medium users were quick to point out the foolishness of her argument.
(The fact that she felt the need to refer to George Michael as “an enthusiastic cannabis user” – as though that habit played any role in his death – certainly didn’t help her case.)
Were some beloved entertainers felled by substance abuse over the past year?
Sadly, yes.
The most obvious example is the death of Prince, who overdosed on the fentanyl, which he had been using to treat chronic pain.
But the celebrities who left us in 2016 did so in myriad ways, ranging from freak accidents to unthinkable acts of violence to old age.
By now, you’ve likely heard the jokes about the awfulness of 2016, joined in the mourning when an entertainer whose work touched your life passed before their time, and wondered aloud why so many celebrities died in such a short period of time.
Of course, despite what Judy Anne would have you believe, there’s no indication that a new addiction epidemic is sweeping Hollywood.
No, the real reasons that stars seem to be falling in record numbers are more complex and far less scandalous:
For starters, the number of entertainers, athletes, politicians, and other public figures who could be described as famous exploded in the years after World War II.
As television entered households, entertainment options expanded, and faces were matched with the names of America’s favorite stars.
With each ensuing decade, the number of celebrities increased, sometimes exponentially.
The Internet opened the doors for a new breed of media personality by eliminating the need to follow the traditional paths to fame.
In short, there are more celebrities now than ever before, and because the pop cultural landscape we know today began to take shape in the mid-20th Century, many of those stars are getting on in years.
So part of the reason it seems like so many famous people are dying is because we’re feeling the after-effects of the celebrity boom that began in the late ’40s and early ’50s.
Sadly, that means the trend of beloved showbiz icons passing on in astonishing numbers is likely to continue in the years to come.
Of course, the fact remains that some of the stars who left us this year were not baby boomer legends, but young phenoms who had yet to show us what heights they could achieve.
Anton Yelchin, Christina Grimmie, Joey Feek, Phife Dawg, and Dave Mirra ranged in age from 22 to 45, and they all left this world well before their time in 2016.
There deaths remind us that there’s no way to fully make sense of the tragedies that hit Hollywood this year.
We can point to the increase in the number of celebrities, the proliferation of media that brings our attention to deaths we may not have known about, and plain old horrendous luck, but as anyone who’s ever mourned a loved one knows, attempts to make sense of the loss of a life that touched your own are usually in vain.
Perhaps all we can do for now is be grateful for the stars who are still with us and hope for a better year ahead.

Scott Disick Has a Curse, Must Get Rooster to Unlock
On the last episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, we saw that Scott Disick was super depressed.
The love of his life had dumped him and he thought the entire Kardashian family – who had basically adopted him as one of their own – was shunning him as well.
Khloe Kardashian wasn"t having any of Scott"s mopey crap, so she told him to quit feeling sorry for himself and get his sh*t together.
So what does the Lord do? What any unreasonable person would do: seek out life advice from a psychic.
Specifically, he wants to know if he"s been cursed by the forces of evil.
In the clip below, he brings Kendall Jenner along with him, although we don"t know why he didn"t just ask her for a reading, because Kendall claimed she was psychic last month.
"The cards talk about a load of negative energy that"s been going on, and in the center of the spread comes up the devil card, which means there"s definitely been an energy that"s been following you around," says the psychic.
"So to answer your question, I would probably say you do have a curse," she adds.
Scott is floored. But he"s also impressed by the soothsayer"s mad skillz.
"You know, right off the bat, she confirms that there is a curse. So I think she"s pretty good," Scott reasons.
To unlock the curse, says the oracle, Scott must adorn himself in white and perform an offering with a live rooster.
Don"t worry, he doesn"t have to kill it.
"The rooster carries what you have, it sets you free as you set him free, and off he goes," the psychic explains.
But where will he go? Will the rooster ever find his family again? What if he gets hit by a car?
Pardon my concern, but the rooster didn"t ask for any of this. So allow me to offer my own divine knowledge to Scott.
YOU DON"T HAVE A CURSE, DUDE, YOU JUST MAKE TERRIBLE CHOICES AND NEED TO GET OFF THE BOOZE.
That"ll be 500 dollars, please.

"Kardashian Curse" Inspires Memes, Jokes About Kanye West
As you’ve probably heard by now, Lamar Odom nearly died from a drug overdose last week and is currently undergoing extensive physical therapy
Less than 24 hours after that shocking news broke, we learned that Scott Disick checked into rehab for the sixth time.
The two incidents are probably unrelated, but they’ve led to jokes, speculation, blog posts and memes about the ways in which the Kardashians seem to ruin men’s lives.
It’s ridiculous to think that the women themselves have such a negative impact on the lives of downtrodden dudes like Scott, Lamar and Rob Kardashian, but the guys’ issues may have a common bond.
Perhaps these guys just had trouble coping with the fame and scrutiny that accompanied their involvement with “America’s first family.”
Whatever the case, folks on social media are having a field day with memes like this:
That one was stolen posted to Instagram by famed hack/joke thief The Fat Jew. It’s just one example of the newest form of Kardashian-bashing.
Ragging on the Kardasdhians is one of the Internet’s favorite pastimes, and we would never try to put a stop to it, but if this “Kardashian Curse” trend is to continue, it’s important to keep a few things clear:
- Caitlyn’s life was not ruined. She seems to be doing just fine. Don’t be D-bags, y’all.
- Scott and Lamar almost certainly suffered from substance abuse issues before they got romantically involved with members of the Kard clan. In fact, Kourtney and Khloe deserve credit for expressing their concern and offering help even after their relationships were through.
- Kanye will be just fine. You can see the dude’s ego from space. We can’t be certain about Tyga.
- Rob Kardashian probably suffers from depression. Yes, the constant glare of the reality show spotlight almost certainly isn’t helping his condition, but it’s not like his sisters are planning a two-hour special where they repeatedly bash his testicles with a sledgehammer.
Although come to think of it, that would probably pull in bigger ratings and be less painful to watch than Kim and Kris Humphries’ wedding.
Anyway, fame ruining people’s lives is nothing new, and the Kardashian gals aren’t to blame for their men’s recent misfortunes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t joke about the idea. Hell, we sure did:
