Showtime’s Shameless is no stranger to fights between about fathers and changes of heart. He’s a father, and a father-figure in real life as well as in the troubled fiction he portrays. His young fans on social media love to call him “zaddy,” or daddy with swagger, but he’s more than just your dad-kink fantasy. Steve Howey, who brings Kev to life on Shameless, is best known for this combination of masculine demeanor, naivety, and heart of gold that he has mastered onscreen in roles in shows like Reba and films like Supercross, See You in Valhalla, and the upcoming Game Over Man.
This moment of zen is a short-lived retrospective to a prior incident - when Kev accidentally fired a gun he took from Mickey, in order to take back money Mickey stole. Amidst the bloody brawl, Kev holds a standing meditation pose behind the bar. A big old ‘mo.” Mickey’s homophobic father, just released from prison hours prior, leaps over the bar, fists ablaze, to punch his son in the face. Ian gives Mickey the ultimatum of coming out or breaking up, and so Mickey announces “I’m fucking gay. Shortly after this moment of heart, the bar breaks out in a fight. Mickey, masked in his own masculinity, fearful of what kindness could indicate, asks him what that even means. “I’m just trying to put everything in the past, OK? I’m a ‘conscientious objector’ now.” Kevin says. Kev fills Mickey’s flimsy paper plate with corn beef - an act of kindness - and Mickey asks him why. At this moment, the venue hosts an after party for the baptism to the son of Mickey Milkovich, a juvenile delinquent and (secret) boyfriend to one of the show’s troubled leads, Ian Gallagher. The bar is known to have housed undocumented Russian women upstairs, who pay rent through sex work. WauchulaGhost plans to continue the campaign with two other hackers who go by the name Ebony and Yeti.In a memorable scene in Shameless - Showtime's long-running dramedy about a dysfunctional family - bartender Kevin Ball (Steve Howey), or Kev, stands behind his bar, bulging muscle and bravado in South Side Chicago.
However, many have since been taken down by Twitter. The vigilante hacker claims to have taken over 200 Twitter accounts belonging to ISIS supporters. WauchulaGhost does not disclose his real name or exact location, other than to say he is based in the United States and that "shit is getting too close to home." The taking of innocent lives will not be tolerated." "Daesh have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. "I did it for the lives lost in Orlando," the hacker tells Newsweek. Following the mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 13, the hacker decided to replace ISIS imagery posted to the accounts with rainbow flags and pro-LGBT messages. Twitter accounts belonging to supporters of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) have been hacked in the wake of the Orlando shooting, with jihadist content replaced with gay pride messages and links to gay pornography.Ī hacker affiliated with the hacktivist collective Anonymous, who uses the online moniker WauchulaGhost, first began hijacking pro-ISIS Twitter accounts several months ago.
