BBC Presenter Scandal #3

[GiveMyHeadPeace]

Well one of them is lying - either the mother or the young person via their lawyer

Am very confused as to how a photo of HE with his bare arse has surfaced online. Is it real or photo shopped?

 

[MissMissMissy]

Maybe the Mum made up the ‘age 17’ bit for clout… not really as dramatic if he made friends with an 18 yr old and had a cyber fling… and paid him. Not saying it’s right but doesn’t scream Saville to me.

 

[House of Tea]

I wonder if he is well liked among his peers, do they feel sympathy or are they rubbing their hands together with glee.

He isn’t someone I have had any feelings for before, neither liked or disliked him. Thought he overdid the pomposity. It is quite the shocker.

If that photo is real, he seems a real risk taker. I guess part of the frisson is the chance of getting caught. I wonder if there are other young lads who might have a story to tell too.

Why is he liking tweets? Whatever the outcome of what happened with who and when, presumably the solids here are he has been paying for something from someone that isn’t his wife, and he’s made a utter fool of himself / treated his wife and kids appallingly. He’s hardly in any position to be taking the high road and liking tweets imo. At best he’s a dirty old git. If he wanted a different life he should have made arrangements to have one.
He also should have chosen a cheaper lawyer. Now it just looks like he’s paying once again for the outcome he wants. Round two. It’s pretty grim these filthy old codgers keep getting to select representatives for the potential victims. What bang average 20yo gets a top top lawyer at the drop of a hat.

How do you know his wife isn't fine with it? People have all different types of relationships.

I'd like a mash up with the LoD team investigating the Beeb, I cannot afford to make this drama.

Makes note to comeback to these threads in a year’s time. Thread number 45 I am guessing.

Here’s a bit of light reading while you‘re gone ENJOY CARIAD!

Girl?

 

[slmapg]

Perhaps he’s saying it’s rubbish and his mums lying because he wants the drug money to continue. Whatever is going on, what a fucking mess.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

My thoughts were similar
Young person gets into online thing with presenter
Young person decides to bribe presenter
£35k and 3 years later Young persons mother steps in and alerts the scum about the money
Young person realises if this all comes out they will be in trouble for bribery and tries to quell the rumours

You get a heart just for your user name...

Why has the Instagram gone then?

Probably doesn't want to get spammed with a load of comments

Tim Davie: surprise acting debut from Gary Lineker

Damn, I would watch this but the casting and the legal fees would bankrupt ITV.

Their concerns have always been the drug use, not that the person was 17 when it all began though

 

[xLJ03x]

Right, I’m switching back to the tennis now. I was hoping for a name, not a plot twist in which I will probably waste hours refreshing Tattle!!!

 

[explodeyourgoss]

Ok that’s great but listen, you’re wasting your time trying to convince me. Please continue caping for your wealthy white cis male Presenter. there are many other posts here which you need to be busily rebutting with your strange justifications of toxic power imbalances, exploitation and familial betrayal

I already know I'd be wasting my time with you. That's a given

And your assumptions about me are way off and quite vile.

Unless more substantive information comes out tomorrow, this whole disgusting saga should be a lesson in how mother doesn't know best, that females no know more than males, that misandry leads to a lot of false accusations based on almost nothing (nothing!), and that an innocent man has potentially been pushed near the edge because of a barmy mother going cap-in-hand to The Sun of all places! I assume The Times told her to sod off, or perhaps she is a Sun reader.

 

[LadyWeatherwax]

That very much reads like they’re absolutely shitting themselves.

There was one paragraph in that article where the word "allegedly" was used so many times it was like machine gun fire.

I don’t want to see the rest of the pighash news with Fiona so I’m going to GBN

BBC = Bizarre Big C%ckup

 

[Cabbage_2021]

I think the fact that HE has now removed his IG account speaks volumes, he won’t be on the News tonight and likely never again. He’s only got himself to blame.

I'm not so sure, I think its probably because he's being sent that picture or questioned about in thousands of times... I don't think it's a guilty thing

 

[WhatABore]

Just a thought: Theoretically, would deleting one’s Instagram anonymise any DMs that you had sent? Say, sexually explicit messages to young men? So the words would still be in messages but not linked to anyone’s username?

That's correct.
It wouldn't show a name or photo anymore.
The name at the top would just be "Instagram User"
With a blank photo

 

[NomDeGuerre]

This whole saga shows a contradiction of the old motto that "Mother Knows Best". In this case, she has caused a national scandal and potentially ruined a luminous career and probably ruined the trust between mother and son. How dare she go the papers on behalf of her adult son! She will probably be very greatly regretting her actions. She probably won't be sued, which would cause this saga to go even more public, but perhaps she should. The Sun also better watch out.

I shouldn't wonder there was financial motivation for her.
