7 Worst Things BoJack Horseman Has Ever Done

Yes, BoJack’s history is so scattered with wrongs that this brutal assault only takes the bronze medal. The meta-themes of Season 5 all collided as a painkiller-addicted BoJack struggles to separate his detective TV show from reality.

With his drug-addled brain constructing a conspiracy around himself, BoJack confuses shooting a scene with confronting his attacker. He begins choking Gina’s character, Sassy, as scripted, but continues to strangle her even as she splutters for help, tears streaming. In the end, the assault only stops when Mr Peanutbutter forces him off.

This time, BoJack’s remorse has merit. He offers to take full responsibility and confess to everything. However, Gina angrily tells him there’s no way that can happen. In a blistering assessment of why assaulted celebrities often don’t come forward, Gina knows that any confession will tarnish her career just as it’s starting to blossom. She’ll forever be ‘the girl that BoJack choked’.

Because of this, we again see BoJack pay almost no price for his actions. It does lead him towards rehab, which will hopefully be of a long-term benefit to those around him. But on a legal level at least, he appears to have gotten away with it.
