Severance director Ben Stiller insults anti-LGBTQ+ podcaster – who then thanks him for it

Ben Stiller has been thanked for insulting pundit Tim Pool – by the right-wing podcaster himself.

Zoolander star Stiller responded to a post from the right-wing, anti-LGBTQ+ commentator regarding news that Apple had lost $1 billion (more than £77 million) on its streaming service.

The company has reportedly invested more than $5 billion (close to £3.9 billion) in Apple TV+, the home of Stiller’s hit sci-fi thriller Severance, as well as other highly rated TV shows and movies. The finale of the second season aired on Friday (21 March), to critical acclaim.
