Seinfeld is absolutely that kind of person, I've met him a few times. He's a complete assh_le who sees less successful people as "lesser" overall, and acts as if he's the sole purveyor of what comedy is despite not having written anything funny in 19 years.
If he decided that Orny (also a jerk) was never going to have a career anyways, Seinfeld would have zero compunction "self-fulfilling" that prophecy if he though he was making a point in the process. He is not a good person. At all.
For all we know, we could have gotten the only 45 minutes of Orny acting like a dick out of an entire year of footage.
I don't think any main figure in this came off well except for George Shapiro. Seinfeld picked a kid he could easily *beep* over to demonstrate a point, the kid got too big for his britches way too quickly.
