Despite being in the middle of a worsening pandemic that has, so far, killed 135,000 Americans and counting, thousands of revelers flocked to Fire Island last weekend to party for the 4th of July.
Giancarlo Albanese drew criticism when shared photo from a Fire Island event, along with the caption: “F*ck Your mask. F*ck your social distancing. F*ck your vaccine. F*ck your eugenics. Kiss my a**hole if you think I’m an a**.”
Later, it was reported that Giancarlo’s mother is immunocompromised and currently going through chemotherapy, and his father is still recovering from open-heart surgery, putting both of them at high risk for severe illness and possibly death should they contract COVID-19. Not only that, but Giancarlo lives with them.
At least, he did until someone alleging to be his brother claimed on social media that he had been kicked out of the house for his reckless behavior.
Queerty reached out to Giancarlo for comment earlier this week, but we never heard back from him. Then yesterday, he posted a rambling 13-minute video blasting his critics, who he calls “tattletales,” and spewing conspiracy theories about how coronavirus was “lab-made” to cause “mass hysteria.”
“Paranoia, hysteria and fear that has crippled the world,” he wrote in the caption. “During these times, let us not hate or fear our friends families and neighbors for a Lab Made virus! Say NO to the agenda, Predictive Programming and Fear Mongering!”
In the video, Giancarlo doesn’t mention anything about being evicted from his parents’ house, but he does say he has “nothing to be sorry for” before launching into a truly bizarre rant about how the coronavirus pandemic is just a bunch of “bullsh*t.”
“The world has been consumed by mass hysteria and paranoia on an unprecedented scale right now,” he says, adding that he refuses to fall for any of it.
“We’re not going to fall for the lab-made virus, we’re not going to fall for the mass-media marketing campaign that’s been going on because it’s all bullsh*t, every single ounce of it.”
Then he accuses the people who doxed him of being “tattletales.”
“You guys need to grow up!” he raged. “You honestly need to grow up!”

Fox News, Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc… have a lot to answer for.
What an idiot this guy is.

All his future employers.
Paul Nadolski
Everyone who intentionally spreads COVID-19 deserves to die a long, agonizing death from it. I’m fed up with crybabies not wanting to do the absolute minimum necessary to stop its’ spread. God knows our government isn’t ever going to do a damned thing about it!
Chrisk
So the corona virus pandemic is just fake news yet you still believe it was man made in a laboratory.
He’s got so many conspiracy theories whirling around in his head he can’t even think straight.
jmg619
Yeah regardless if it’s natural or man made, it’s still a freaking virus that’s killing people! Where does he not see that?
WSnyder
Manga Cum Laude from the Trump School of Social Media. Double down, deflect, contrive and take no personal responsibility. Ramble passionately with a word-salad of meaninglessness. Change the story from your failures to your f*cked up messaging. Sprinkle with a dash of anti-government conspiracies no matter how stupid they sound because once people talk about them, they forget your stupidity that started it all. Wait for the News cycle to shift. Rinse and repeat until no ones talking about how you are just an moron.

yup

He is deranged, please stop giving him attention.

I looked up the word `Shallow`in the dictionary, and I was not surprised this guys picture was in the description
Kangol2
He’s as dumb as a brick and with even less intelligence or good sense. If he were confined somewhere but this one is roaming about, potentially spreading Covid-19 to everyone he comes into contact with, including his health-challenged parents!
bad monkey69
I did not live through the AIDS crisis to have a young self-centered twat tell me I am over reacting to a pandemic that spreads quickly and kills just as quickly. Please stop giving these people attention.
douglen221
Thank you! How correct you are.Many of us lived through the AIDS crisis,lost friends, and were scared to death of it. Luckily it has come under control, and we have a new demon to deal with Covid 19. Now this twerp is espousing all of the right wing garbage that is so bizarre,how could anyone in their right mind believe it? I believe it’s too much alcohol, drugs and poppers. It’s unfortunate that his parents are both ill, but perhaps when he was younger they should have used “A boot in the ass” approach to disciplining this idiot.
ronniebs
Sounds like he’s taken too much ecstasy.
CKNJ
I hope that his brother who barred him from their home because of his parents’ fragile health sticks to his guns and tells this little c*nt to stay the hell away… let him go be a miserable cold little conspiracy theorist all on his own. F*ck him in the name of the two friends I have who both lost both their parents, and in the name of a friend who lost his son, and on behalf of the 4 friends I have struggling with this virus, one of them literally back from death’s door. F*ck him, the stupid little twat!
Ed Hawkins
Well said. I add the name of my friend whom I have known since 1961 who died 4 days after showing the first symptoms. Why does he, and so many others like him, insist that there are various “versions” of the same truth? Facts are facts. Truth is truth. Trump and his crowd are to blame for this obscenity.
ryanM
Apparently, his brother is a Trumper whose social media is full of anti-Democratic posts.

This guy is a real douche!

Princesses like this are the ones who perpetuate the stereotype. If being a crackhead candy queen for a night on Fire Island is more important than protecting the health of your own family then go cry to the Log Cabin Republicans where they encourage your selfish behavior and delight in your conservative conspiracy theories. Selfish little byatch.
ShiningSex
She has some issues. She needs some help. Stay off meth dear.
Doug
He’s quite the narcissist. I’m getting so sick listening to these conspiracy theorists telling everyone about the New World Order and the Illuminati. I have two friends who are glued to their computers watching underground news channels on YouTube and have totally been sucked into this crap. They’ve also become just as arrogant and condescending as this guy is. It’s paranoia, plain and simple.
Toofie
It’s typical elitist behavior. It’s not real until it impacts him directly. People who downplay or believe this isn’t a real thing should ask everyone that’s been on a ventilator.
yaletownman
He’s a narcissist with nothing special to call attention to himself so this is his opportunity to feel like he’s important and somehow matters. He’s such a bore I could only listen to about one minute of his tired, unintelligent drivel. The reality is that there is nothing there with him and this is just shining a light upon that.
bluewater103
This guy is all sorts of deranged – yet, so many of these idiots are running around loose – and causing illness and death. He needs to say his crazy shit to a family who has lost a loved one and see their reaction…..I don’t think it will be very pretty. He is a very sad and sorry person.

His stupidity is scary.

Clearly this guy will be nominated as Trump’s next secretary of HHS or will be the new head of CDC.
Heywood Jablowme
And then we’ll have the gay Trumpers here saying “See? Trump isn’t anti-gay at all!”
cassiew
What a jerk. I am really shocked at how many people see this as a political thing. It is a freaking disease, moron. It doesn’t have an agenda, or sides, it just kills.
Godabed
The “white gay” is strong in this one.
RFD
I refuse to watch his stupidity on display. There are tons more like him of all orientations and races. So, I agree do not give him more attention than this. He is one who will have to learn the hard way.
Me2
He’s grossly misinformed & it may cost someone their life. But if the president himself is making misleading statements and presenting equally ridiculous conspiracy theories as fact, then chaos among those with the inability to think & discern truth from fiction is sure to follow.
drmiller
This person is a nobody. He’s always been a nobody. He will die a nobody. This is a carnival, messy, side show folks and the best way for us to show our disdain is to completely and utterly ignore him. Let’s not lose focus.
dennynova
Stop giving him oxygen. He is an idiot, An asshole. A Trumper. Being gay does not ameliorate this kind of behavior. He is a worthless human being. I feel sorry for his family who has been dragged into this needlessly.
ryanM
The entire family is likely nuts, although probably less narcissistic than this moron. His brother’s social media is apparently pro-Trump and full of childish anti-Democratic posts.
joelk57
Such a disgusting little ignorant Prig, his time is short on this earth so let him be. He will wish he had made better choices very soon.
gaym50ish
Are you kidding me? This idiot is basing his conspiracy theories on movies and cartoons? It’s not that the rest of us are living in fear — we’re living as if OTHER lives depend on how we behave. I hope his parents do not fall victim to the virus.
ryanM
One wonders when he’ll he fired from his job as a currency analyst. There’s been a bunch of firings recently of people behaving badly because of the negative publicity they bring to their employers. In those cases, it was just bad publicity and not any action that truly affected the job. With this idiot, his reckless selfish actions can indeed affect his co-workers, and in turn, the community at large. I can’t believe that he hasn’t already been fired.
If he ends up homeless and unemployed, I won’t shed a year. Maybe he can be Aaron Schock’s houseboy…
gerritjan
He’s an idiot. If there is a gay council, can we please kick him out? I lived through AIDS. He’s an insult. Even his own parents see that. If I see him on Fire Island he will get a (mask covered) mouth full from this elder black, gay, survivor of the civil rights movement, the Act-Up demonstrations, the Ronald Reagan death camps mentality, the racism of the last Bush presidency and the BLM protests of today. Just ’cause you’re young doesn’t mean you have to be stupid. KNOW YOUR HISTORY dummy. Let him commit his own suicide in a Trump supporting red state but baby, you better get your stupid ass off Fire Island. As the quote went, ” Ain’t nobody got time for that!” If you’re in The Pines…please ask for Robert, we’ll talk and I’ll lovingly set you…. straight in a queer conversation. We can do better and it can start with you. Close your mouth, open your ears, fill your heart.
Startrax99
This stuff is so reminiscent of when HIV was more prevalent, and we had “bug chasers” is COVID-19 the new form of that?
Please do your part, and stay safe.
Georgeiv2
The rest of the world is beginning to look at this behaviour as just American ! We in Europe although slow off the mark have got to virus fairly well under control we reopened our economy at the beginning of last month and are pretty much back to normal ( Although still wearing masks in close contact situations ) whilst America ?? Yes this guy is an American fighting for the freedom to infect others or in other words an American !
marcbruer777
Agreed, this guy is a total schmuck. But are we overlooking the fact that the hundreds of guys in that photo were attending what was obviously an outdoor mass sex party? I see few if any masks being worn and these guys all looked to be naked or mostly naked. I’m sure covid wasn’t the only thing transmitted at that “event.”
JoshGL
Doesn’t matter if he’s mentally ill or just a horrible person.
Either way, he craves this attention.
Don’t feed the flames.

I was on Fire Island that weekend, but my partner and I were at Cherry Grove rather than the Pines. The residents and businesses at the Grove adhere strictly to Gov. Cuomo’s COVID-19 mandates. My partner is a physician, so we wouldn’t spend time at the Grove if they didn’t. Actually, we feel safer and better supported in every way at Cherry Grove than we do anywhere else. That’s why the actions of partiers in the Pines over the weekend of the Fourth was so disturbing. Generally speaking, generalization is a dicey business, but I personally tend to see the Pines as an upscale community that serves weekend and weeklong rental clients who are largely young, male and white. It is the upper east side of Fire Island; the Grove is the outer boroughs. The Grove is a warm and welcoming diverse community of property owners and longterm seasonal renters who support and protect one another in every way possible, especially in terms of preventing transmission of the corona virus. We all make mistakes in life; we all act foolishly at times. Our mistakes do not define us; how we recover and learn from them does. For that reason, I’m sure any of the Pines partiers would be welcomed at the Grove – so long as they’re properly masked and/or observing appropriate social distancing, of course.
