Jerry Seinfeld’s 17-Year-Old Girlfriend Saga Resurfaces After Duke Walkout
Jerry Seinfeld’s problematic relationship with a high schooler (when he was well into his 30’s) has been grossing out a new generation this week, just after Duke students staged a walk out in protest of his commencement speech.
According to video of the incident that’s making the rounds on X, Seinfeld’s introduction to Duke University’s commencement stage was interrupted by a handful of students who chanted “Free Palestine” and walked out in protest. This comes after campus protests swept the country, as students demanded that their universities divest from Israel amid the country’s attack on Hamas.
Seinfeld has vocally supported Israel and was previously photographed while visiting a West Bank military camp with his family in 2018. According to Times of Israel, the camp posted the photos of Seinfeld on Facebook with the caption, “Finally we are allowed to tell you! Jerry Seinfeld and his family were in Caliber 3. During their visit to Israel last week, they came to us for a special and exciting activity with displays of combat, Krav Maga, assault dogs and lots of Zionism. It was great.” The photos have been making the rounds on social media and receiving renewed interest amidst the Hamas War. Seinfeld returned to Israel to visit with families of hostages taken by Hamas to Gaza last December.
