BBC Presenter Scandal #3

This is FASCINATING because it really is a case of ‘unreliable narrator’
Do I trust the sun? No.
Do I trust the bbc? No
Do I trust the word of a mother who went to the paper and not the police? No
Do I trust the bbc presenter who wiped his insta this afternoon? No
And do I trust the 20 year old, potential drug addict? No.

I'm not saying I'm sure HE hasn't done anything, but I really don't think that taking a social media account down proves anything either way. People, even victims, often take down their socials during a media storm because they're getting thousands of messages, thousands of people are combing through every post they've written in ten years, their devices must be giving them a hundred beeps a minute and they must feel really overwhelmed by it all.

Graham Norton took his Twitter down when all he'd said was that he might not have JK Rowling on his podcast again. Stephen Fry has taken his down several times when he can't stand get nasty comments.

(Please please for the love of God, no one derail this thread into talk about JKR or gender issues. I'm literally just saying people take their socials down for reasons other than being a criminal.)

I deleted mine when my husband left me. Sounds like I'm being a drama llama but I just wanted to not have "the world" looking at my pictures and wondering "ooh I wonder if he'd met someone else when they had that photo". HE knows he's completely under the microscope and he's got of cute pictures with his mum.

The picture can only come from one of 2 sources. The boy (who’s claiming all this is fake) or the mum.

Well, not necessarily, there are many potential explanations for the photo. Could be fake, could be that HE sent it to his wife, could be that HE sent it to a different crack addict, could be lots of things.

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

Its been reported she declined any money she just wanted this person to stop funding her kids drug habit and to stop taking advantage of her kid

The Twitter account which initially posted the picture said that it's from the friend of another person Huw was messaging with. It was just released as "proof" that Huw is a sleaze, it was never claimed to be part of this case.

I think this basically sums the whole thing up rather well.

She doesn't work for the BBC anymore.

Ah my mistake. I thought she was still with them. Maybe bitter then at leaving.

Have we had an update from Liz Kershaw and her reliable source?

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

Cast:

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

and introducing Dan Wooton as Dan Wooton.

I feel like you’re missing an opportunity here not casting Ioan Gruffudd in this epic drama.

Why so? Are we to assume this is the first time the bloke has had online interactions? Could it not have come from someone else who has nothing to do with this 17 yr old and the mum?

That was my thinking too. They don’t want a lawsuit.

Especially with what's happened over the years Youd think theyd be careful

Why if you do a search for Graham Norton it says he has been suspended for sexual misconduct occurring in May.....

Suspended from what though? He's not on BBC TV or Radio at the moment and won't be for months so how can they suspend him?

hardworkinggardener · Jul 10, 2023

honestly reached the point now where I have no idea what is going on

Merpedy · Jul 10, 2023

The deleted IG makes me wonder if he thought that it would delete evidence of him allegedly messaging other young people

yup barmy mother lets keep with the parent blaming. The Woman has gained nothing from going to the BBC & The Sun in fact it looks like she's prob pushed her Son further away

A) It hasn't been reliably confirmed if the child is a son or a daughter. Various news outlets have used both genders.

B) Just because the parent hasn’t gained anything doesn’t mean that their expectation initially wasn’t financial gain. Or it could just be that the parent has a fractured relationship with the child and wanted to project the cause of that onto someone else.

The fact is we KNOW almost nothing.

Honestly, I'm not being nasty, but I think she's just not very bright and she thought the BBC could stop him sending her son money, because she doesn't know how these things work? We can speculate on her motives in going to the BBC then the press, but I think the most straightforward explanation is just that she's not bright and she thought the BBC could stop HE, so when they didn't, she felt like she'd been wronged.

If this whole story is true, I definitely feel sorry for her. Loving an addict is horrible. I'm just saying that I think her actions seem odd because she misunderstood what her actions would cause to happen.
