Don't bring John C Reilly into this 😣 he's one of my faves. McKay is right - he did fuck up.

Right, leave Wreck It Ralph alone 😤😤😤

Lol I submitted this too.

Will was gracious enough to not say why their relationship ended and Adam just had to tell everyone that he’s a fuck up. Why? And to be petty enough to go, “well, you hurt me too,” in emails trying to apologize. What’s wrong with him lol?

[blanchedavidian]

I could NOT with the "and then I reminded him of things he said that hurt MY feelings and he never apologized for" motherfucker, I would be ignoring your emails too!!!!

He’s a man. And Will Ferrell seems to be juuuust slightly less of one, good for him.

Creative separations like this are so fascinating to me

He reached out to him just to say, "hey, you did shit to me too?" No wonder he didn't get a response.

Lmao, for real! It's the sort of vibe I imagine Messy Nelson's messages to the LM girls have: very much playing the victim while attempting to extend some sort of olive branch.

All of Adam’s solo work is dripping in smugness and condescension so I can only imagine how much he is irl. And he went behind Wills back to recast him in his dream role in a project they were working on together? And then made John C Reliy do his dirty work and tell Will? Damn I wouldn’t pick up the phone ether!

I haven't seen much of his movies but I def have noticed a certain smug attitude in interviews.

"Vice" is VERY smug.
