What happened to the bully?


I really want to know. His back was hit with a chair and from what I understand, Chiron went to juvie for it? It must have been a pretty serious injury.

reply

I normally wouldn't say something this awful, but that kid was a monster. Hope it paralyzed or killed him.

reply

Am I the only one who got the strong impression that he (the bully) was gay, too?

reply

Yes there were definitely hints that there was some ambiguity about the bully's reasons for his hatred specifically towards Chiron. He was very focused on the sexual details of his hateful comments.

reply

Yea I did as well. That scene where Chiron is walking to Theresa's and he's harassing him he makes some off hand comment about his sexuality which confused me because I didn't know if Chiron was open about that part of his life, or if Tyrell just had intuition about it maybe because he was dealing with something similar.

You're not alone in that at all. Glad to see anyone like minded here.

A very repressive guy.


May you receive all that Karma has to offer.

reply

I think he was gay too. He was scared of his own feelings so he had to rebel against those who were gay...

reply

I tend to agree with andreaahr.

reply

Not necessarily. I think it's more likely that Chiron was just an easy target, and his (possible) homosexuality a perfect opportunity to humiliate him in public.

reply

Probably damaged his back and his family pressed charges against Chiron of course.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

reply

Bullies like him, once he got a beating and his aggressor charged by the police. Well let us assume he lost his aura.


It's that man again!!

reply

I wouldn't doubt if Terrell's reputation dropped a bit after that. I don't blame Chiron for acting when he did, even if he could have handled it better.

All I need is one mic...

reply

After he was hit in the back by the chair he cut his dreads and became a normal kid dropping the tough guy act. He now is working at a Home Depot.

reply

I'm not sure if it was him, but at the beginning of iii.Black we see Chiron/Black in the car staring one guy with gredlocks, a dealer, and Black grabs his gun...I'm not sure if that guy was intended to be Terrell.

reply

The bully came out of the closet and joined the Annual Gay Pride parade in his wheelchair. 😆

Who comes up with stuff like that?! You're aweful!
