Joe Rogan opens up about his “evil” teacher
Recently, in episode #2007 of JRE, Rogan revealed yet another distressing incident from his past. This time, it involved his catholic school teacher. Recounting his time as a young child, he shared that everyone in his life, including his parents and grandparents, had been kind and loving.
“Everyone was nice to me. I was 5-6 years old. My parents were nice to me, my grandparents were nice to me. And then all of a sudden I am in a room with this lady who is representing God.”
However, his experience with a particular teacher at his school was far from positive. Rogan described her as “evil” and recounted how she seemed to derive pleasure from making children cry.
“And she is f*cking evil. She is mean, she wants you to cry. She would try to get kids to cry. It was weird. Going to that Catholic school, I was like ‘Maybe it’s God but this lady is not doing the work of God’.”
