BBC Presenter Scandal #3

[Cabbage_2021]

I have friends who do webcam work and have regulars who tip them a lot of money. My thoughts are that HE is a sugar daddy for this young person and the young person has been spending the money on drugs. The mum has found out HE is the one providing the money for the drugs and is so stressed out with her child being a drug addict that she's gone to the papers to try and cut off the funds for the drugs, that's why she doesn't want paying. He might not have known their age, he may very well have. The young person is probably denying it because they don't want to lose their payouts.

Unwise but not illegal

 

[Riiiiiiiiight]

Cbeebies has been binned tonight for the news! Call me a bad mum it’s fine

 

[givepeasachance]

This has pay off all over it. Lawyer probably paid for by the Beeb. Payout offered on condition of signed NDA. Alternative was them being dragged through a lengthy painful court battle. A case of 'take the money son and say no more about it' . Look at Scofe - untouchable. The Beeb have unlimited resource and friends in high places.

 

[ABiggerBoat]

I’m not sure there will be an announcement on the news. I think it’s more likely that a statement will be released first. I think naming him is definitely coming though. And it needs to, for the sake of every other presenter that is having their name dragged through the mud.

Girl?

Take no notice of India. He can't tell girl from boy.

 

[NomDeGuerre]

I NEED Huw sat behind that News At 10 desk, bold as brass, to send this story into a whole new direction.

[pommobear]

I feel like this person's mother was after money. Sorry to say it but that's how it reads to me.

 

[Nadia Vulvokov]

It was me that said this was a distraction. I do believe there’s something to this story. I think HE has to be the most realistic candidate. However, I think there’s got to be a reason The Sun ran the story without saying the victim denied it. They could have sat on it for a week or two to investigate the claims but preferred to print a half arsed story. Now nobody will probably find out the truth.
Still think The Sun are disgusting. They had a countdown to Sam Fox’s 16th birthday with photos printed the day of her birthday. Therefore had to be taken when she was 15. Dirty, filthy rag.

The Sun are disgusting. I studied the Hillsborough case as part of my degree and will never forget how they treated victims and their families. Didn't they also do a Charlotte Church countdown? The hypocrisy is wild.

 

[anushorribilis]

Huw has liked two tweets on his twitter in the last hour

 

[WestSideIsDaBest]

Where does a young crack addict get money for a lawyer…perhaps someone else is funding it…

Philip schofields paying

 

[D_Wills]

The Sun may be scum but they will NOT be happy about being called liars and I think will bring the receipts. Interested to see their front page tomorrow!

 

[House of Tea]

This is going to be another Schofield. It will rumble on for years until something else comes out.

BBC said the boy has engaged the services of very expensive lawyers, not Hight Street ones, big hitters - how come, where did this addict get the funds? The Sun says they have seen evidence to prove that what the parents said is true.

 

[pommobear]

Meant to be starting a new job tomorrow and can't bring myself to give a shit.

 

[Limey]

Wonder if there will be any consequences for £35k undeclared income down the line for the young person

Alright, the HMRC

 

[InkHeart]

Coming this autumn on ITV1 - 'Exposed', a three part drama

Concerned mum: Sheridan Smith
Concerned mum's bezzie: Suranne Jones
Concerned dad: George Costigan
Crackhead child: Sheridan Smith in heavy makeup

and introducing Dan Wooton as Dan Wooton.

It's illegal to make a British crime drama without Sarah Lancashire.

Where does a young crack addict get money for a lawyer…perhaps someone else is funding it…

 

[Limey]

So:

Something may or may not have happened
Someone may or may not be a crack head
Someone's parents have complained to the Sun
The BBC are looking into it

 

[explodeyourgoss]

Some are already being cynical about whether the young person's denials through their lawyer can be relied on, but here's the thing: if even the so-called victim, who is an adult, says nothing happened, then this greatly reduces the seriousness of the allegations made by The Sun in absence of any further material information. The Sun has already said in response to the young person's statement, rather sheepishly, that it's now up to the BBC to investigate.

As I've been saying in various comments today, too much has been read into little information and many people here have over-egged the pudding without taking a more reasonable view of the information we have. This doesn't reflect well on us.
