John Crist is an American comedian who achieved his great success by posting sketch comedy on social media. His success on social media facilitated his move into stand-up comedy. Crist has opened for comedians such as Seth Meyers, Dave Chappelle, and Tim Hawkins.
Crist’s comedy revolves around the Christian religion. He uses clean humor to entertain his largely Christian audience and to criticize the problems he sees in the Christian religion.
This piece will look at John’s relationship with Lauren Alaina, the criticism his comedy has faced, and the effects of his sexual misconduct scandal. We can confirm that John Crist is not married.
His ex Lauren Alaina revealed that she and Crist are best friends after their breakup
John and his long-time friend, Lauren Alaina, began dating in mid-2019. However, in September 2019, Lauren announced that she and Crist had broken up.
“It just didn’t work out,” Lauren revealed on The Bobby Jones Show. “I guess that’s what dating is like, right?” Lauren and John were best friends before they started dating and their relationship as best friends continued even after their split.
Crist has been criticized for some of his religious jokes.
John Crist was born on March 20, 1984 in Atlanta, Georgia. He grew up with seven siblings in a religious home.
Crist was fired from his first job at a Chick-fil-A restaurant for stirring lemonade by hand. It was at this time that he realized that he was not cut out for a career in the restaurant industry and decided to pursue a career in comedy.
One of John’s biggest challenges in doing comedy was creating content that was acceptable within the confines of his religion. He had grown up in a strict religious home that strove to follow Christ’s teachings to the letter. “My mom once washed my mouth out with soap when she cursed,” John said in an appearance on fox and friends.
John’s comedy got off to a slow start, but as time went on, social media audiences began to perk up. Crist gradually became one of the faces of Christian comedy. However, he was criticized by sections of the Christian community who did not appreciate his mockery of the faith. He came under further criticism when he began to criticize aspects of the religion that he considered questionable. christ said Tennessee:
“There is nothing funny to me about Jesus on the cross or the Virgin Mary, things that are at the core of our belief system. But if your pastor is dressed like he’s on ‘MTV Cribs,’ I’ll make fun of that. I worked at a church last week that had ‘Pastors Only’ parking spots, which in my opinion, I think is 100 percent everything that Jesus as a person was against.”
John has taken a break from social media and canceled a tour after facing sexual harassment allegations.
By the end of 2019, John was about to take the next step in his fast-growing career. He had a Netflix special in the works, a tour planned and a book deal with a major Christian publisher. However, after a report accusing John of sexual harassment surfaced, John’s projects were put on hold.
He issued a statement in which he denied being guilty of anything he was accused of, but affirmed that he had sinned against God. “My behavior has been destructive and sinful. I have sinned against God, against women and against the people I love the most.”
Crist took a break from social media after the scandal broke. She recently announced her return to social media and claimed that she had spent her time seeking help for her ‘problem’. John did not address the allegations against her, but stated that he takes full responsibility for her actions. Juan said:
“All of my comedy videos pointed out hypocrisy in some way…and the most embarrassing part of all of this is that the biggest hypocrite was me,” John said. He then thanked his fans for supporting him during his time of need. “I assumed I lived in a community of people who would be the first to put me down, judge me, and point fingers at me, but I felt nothing other than the opposite.”
