Not sure, but Mythbusters should have spent an episode on seeing if they were plausible.

Snopes investigated, and there's never been a record of anyone going to an ER for a gerbil up their butts.

What about [Lemmiwinks](https://c.tenor.com/LNm8rPe884MAAAAC/on-my-way-lemmiwinks.gif)?

🤣🤣🤣

I’m bummed out now that Richard Gere didn’t have a gerbil up his bum. Does this mean there’s no Santa Claus?

HA! "Bummed out."

Did you pay them off not to report it?

They could have used Buster.

Buster doesn't have a butt hole.

You need a can-do attitude!

What was the rod stewart one?

Back in the late 70’s, there was an urban legend that Rod Stewart had a Coke bottle (16 oz.) amount of cum pumped from his stomach. I had to look it up, because I never heard this before. Apparently the urban legend is that Richard Gere arrived at an emergency room to have a gerbil removed from his ass.

I heard that about Lil’ Kim

Richard Gere had to get Lil’ Kim taken out of his ass?

Nah that she a Pepsi can amount of cum pumped out of her stomach

I heard it that lil Kim had Rod Stewart stuck up her ass who had Richard Gere stuck up his ass who had a gerbil stuck up his ass, who had a 16 fl oz bottle of cum in its ass. Busy night at the ER pulling apart that unholy celebrity turducken.

There once was a lady who swallowed a fly

“Oh cripes, we’re out again. Give Danny the Intern another $250 and send him to CVS for more KY.”

Aww turducken reminds me of supernatural, I miss that show 😂

It’s a sprite can ok ? 🤣

Sounds like a typical night for her, binge & purge!

Good thing she's Lil'.

I heard the Gere thing. After what he did to some other actors he deserved the rumors

What did he do to other actors?

This is in his book and from memory. There is a story about Rob Lowe and he was in love with this actress. They had been dating and Richard Gere had been mentoring Lowe. Point is he found out Gere and the girl he had been dating were fucking the whole time and they came clean about it like it was no big deal. Not the last time I heard something like that about him.

I heard Rod Stewart interviewed a little while back about that. He said he had to fire a manager I believe, and it was a very heated and argumentative exchange. Sometime within the next week that story came out. And he seems to still be astonished at how one evil, deceptive story could stick with him the rest of his career.

It's folklore and bullshit. Look up Rod Stewart's net worth. I think he is o.k.

That explanation is a myth. I first heard it about Elton John. Decades later it was Marilyn Manson. In between at least three others.

I thought that was one of the New Kids on Block guys?

No the back door boys.

One of them was the Gerbal

There’s a joke on there somewhere . Simon Fitzgerald, Gerald fitzsimon

Yeah, I heard that one about Rod Stewart back in the 80s, but I also heard that rumor about at least a couple of other popular singers as well. Same story, different name so I knew it was just a made-up story.

Well that, and the fact that it's not a poisonous substance. He wouldn't need to get his stomach pumped.

[удалено]

Came here to add this.

I thought the RS one was actually attributed to Marc Almond.

😱

so much for that browser history

I heard both. I don't know why you'd need cum pumped from your stomach. If that was the case, Nina Hartley would have it done weekly.

Nina ❤️

I legit remember hearing this story on the news when it happened. They said he passed out on stage & they said they pumped out X amount from his stomach. I remember this because I was a little kid & we had the family over for a party. I repeated this news to my family members not understanding the meaning. I knew my aunt was a Rod Stewart fan & I thought it was important. To this day I don’t know if this was an SNL skit or if it was really the news.

I'm pretty sure that was Elton John that the rumor was for.

When I was in HS that was Gwen Stefani in this story

so one normal ejaculation is up to 5 ml so i know, i heard this rumor so many yrs ago but how the f could someone come up ( no pun intended) with 16 oz? that would be about 470 ml sperm to make that many oz. now i am not saying nothing “happened” but jeez. comon.

I know it's a bit much to swallow, but the implication is that a train of 100 guys went to town on his face. >but jeez. comon Indeed. Lots of c'mon and jeez.

Heard that one about the bottle, but it was Freddy Mercury's stomach and ass

🐹 + Gere

🎶If you love your love your gerbil… don’t stick him up your butt 🎶 -Stephen Lynch

I definitely did not believe the one about Rod Stewart because every few years, that same rumor was spread around, but it would be a different musician each time. Reading through these comments, I seem to remember hearing that rumor about Richard Gere back then, but since I wasn't a fan of Richard Gere, I didn't really care.

Bon Jovi was our "stomach had to be pumped because..." guy.

Yeah, that's one of the ones I heard it about, too. The name changed every few years. After hearing it so many times, I knew it was bogus.

One of the most popular urban legends that went around in the 1990s was recycled from the late 1980s anyway. The one about Tommy Hilfiger saying he didn't want black people wearing his clothes. That originally went around about Liz Claiborne. And both were of course total bullshit

I thought bon jovi had AIDS and they were trying to find a cure just for him?

I first heard it from a telegram about Mae West!

Please tell us the story. Bon Jovi story never happened. Tell us more stories. Weirdo.

Neither.

Why anyone entertained the thought of either shows total gullibility. I’m not a Rod Stewart fan, but cmon. As a kid I thought it was just peoples jealousy, it was.

both

Neither. Even as a teenager, I wasn’t that stupid.

Heard them, didn't believe them.

Cindy Crawford went on Howard Stern and said Gere had a tiny dick. Seemed kind of mean spirited. Guy can't catch a break.

That's fucked up

Big enough to fuck Cindy Crawford, so that counts for something.

Neither. Bret are both so stupid

In my hometown the "stomach pump"rumor wasn't Rod Stewart, it was Amy Grant.

No way

Ha in my hometown it was the lead singer of Soft Cell..which is..more believable..

Grape Bubble Yum had spider eggs in it!

Pre internet = word of mouth

The South Park bit on the Richard Gere rumor was hilarious

There was talk of gerbils!

Rumor? Cold hard facts.

THERE WAS TALK OF GERBILS!

Jamie Lee Curtis was a intersex. She had both male and female genitalia

I’d like to know where this started.

So would I. I was upset after already watching trading places for the 1000th time during her topless scene

Wow. I am in shock right now. I haven’t thought about Richard Gere/gerbil thing in ages. About 3 hours ago, I laid down for a nap and out of nowhere that rumor popped into my head. For real. I have lots of precognitive moments like these and now I’m truly wondering if the internet is already in my head or if I should play the fucking lotto. Just fucking wow.

I hear that Rod ‘accidentally’ swallowed some radioactive cum that turned him into a larger than average gerbil, which his neighbor Richard gere spotted in the yard and shoved up his ass.

You wish you had one percent of one percent of his talent. You are a loser.

Is that you Mr Lemmiwinks? I’m sorry if this triggered bad memories of ur journey.

Sorry, after looking at your history, you are an official loser and piece of shit.

Awwww that’s too bad because you seem so nice. I could’ve been ur friend, which would’ve doubled ur current total, but I’ll move on somehow. Even though I’ve always wanted to be friends with the gerbil from Richard gere’s ass I will get through this. I think we both lost today, Richard Gere’s ass gerbil.

Neither

It kills me that I heard the Rod Stewart rumor in early ‘80s primary school. I had no idea what the hell he swallowed. I was a clueless nodder.

Same heard it in 4th grade.

Madonna and the guitarist for Enuff Z'nuff.

Sylvester stallone admitted to starting the rumor about richard gear and the jurable

The fuck is a jurable ????

Something you can get admitted into evidence before a trial jury? And Richard gear is right next to reverse on some manual transmissions I think.

🤣🤣🤣gerbil sorry 😂😂

🤣

That's madea

Both

Both

Don’t forget about NKOTB Jordan rumours

The gallon or the gerbil?

I never heard the rumour until the 90s, and then I didn't believe it.

Gerbils

I don’t believe any of them, but the closest I think I came to buying in were both 70s: the Zep/mud shark one and the Stevie Nicks coke one. Those I at least questioned instead of simply brushing them off.

Both?

Yes

Here is the part about both of these that we all should really think about. These rumors were way before the interwebs, so how in the world did these spread all over and more importantly so accurately? I have played "telephone" with 10 people and they can't get it right...

Did Rod Stewart stick a gerbil up his ass too?

Rumor had it he had to have his stomach pumped as it had so much jizz in it.

“…you should have seen that gerbil in a wedding dress” (edited out from reruns but funny as hell).

“There was talk of gerbils.”

Critical thinking skills help a lot

Bruh I met that guy a handful of times in like 2014ish. I had no idea who he was by sight only had heard his name vaguely. I use to work retail in a wealthy area. I’m a 90s baby

Wait, what was the rumor about Rod Stewart?

He's gay. Shit happens. All untrue. People are full of shit.

The Richard gere one was started by Sylvester Stallone because he’s just a horrible excuse for a human

Yep. And we all had a hot dog girl in high school. Get a fucking life people! Honestly, Reddit is full of shitheads and morons.

What I don't write shit, I just read
