>Michael John Kricfalusi was described by some friends and colleagues as a pedophile. His friend William Wray, the American animator and cartoonist who worked with John on Ren & Stimpy, described him as "pervert-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about him wanting to do inappropriate things with teenage girls and I'd be, 'But John, I have teenage girls,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean your children.' He had a definite Gary Glitter streak, [the belief] that he was entitled to whoever he wanted regardless of age."[27]
>According to Wray, in the early 1990s, K attacked a mixed-race girl at the Chelsea Hotel trying to reach under her skirt, saying "I love black people".[27]
>During a press conference in New Jersey, the audience became extremely uncomfortable after K performed Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire", but only sang the first verse repeatedly.[28]
