I’ve got to admit. After everything there’s still two aspects that doesn’t fit.

1. ‘What have you done’.
2. ‘Tell your mum to call off the investigation’.

Neither of which have been confirmed as being true though.

Well after the rollercoaster that has been the last few days, my contender for the biggest revelation:

If you drag the screen down on your phone on tattle, it refreshes. Mind blown.

I had a revelation like that a while ago. Just to let you know lol - it us not just tattle that it works on! Who knew?! On a related note, my contribution would be that whichever way this case goes, I blame the BBC as if they had just done what any normal HR dept would do and suspend the person and investigate as required, none of us would be here right now. This all lies with them.

If this whole thing is a load of lies, then the most sensible action would be for the presenter concerned to say he was the one being investigated.
Admit he has been suspended and that is absolutely the correct action for the BBC to take under the circumstances and that he will cooperate fully with their enquiry. He looks forward to returning to our screens soon.

This reminds me of that time Leslie Grantham got his knob out over webcam in his BBC dressing room even though it is nothing like that time, it’s just that that whole thing came into my head and I thought everyone else should experience my pain.

Can I say with the deleting his social media, when you face false accusations, you literally want to hide. It happened to someone close to me (incidentally it was a person’s mother who made up a story and ran with it because she was mentally ill and having delusions but it still had to be investigated). It’s a feeling beyond shock and grief. It’s like your whole body stops existing and your mind no longer knows how to think. Everyone who was close to the accused took down/limited our social media. We just didn’t want to have to see the outside world/it see in. And this wasn’t a reported story etc as no charges were made (except against the mother but that’s a diff story entirely). Because of that I also know the devastation that follows false accusations because you still lose your life. And I do see this in the same way because that’s where social media etc went with this.

The BBC should absolutely be held to account to see if they’ve dealt with this appropriately. They have a duty of care and should be able to show they take all these instances seriously.

However, The Sun are known for their sensationalism and they have definitely used inflammatory, cleverly not-libellous language throughout this.

We also only have what the mother said as proof. There has been no evidence at all. For all we know, the person is on OF and the mother assumes that means they must be into drugs too but no one actually knows that’s definitely true. And what’s become clear is how the story has basically been ‘someone’s mother has told us this about their child, now the BBC need to investigate’

She’s got her wish if HE is taken off air though.

Mum's never smelled weed before and instantly assumed the pungent aroma must be crack.
The son is just a completely average 20 year old making a killing flashing his nob to middle aged men on OnlyFarts.

Well considering the Sun said RIP to the very much alive teacher who was stabbed today, I’m not taking what they say for gospel!

That’s true. I mean, every news station has reported on it. So if it was false, I would expect them to refute it as quick as they did HE Peachy backside.

Because it wouldn't change people's opinions at all?

I don't think the BBC can take him back now anyway if he's innocent, it's too controversial. But another broadcaster could if they can handle the heat- and if he's never officially named then it doesn't reflect as much on him

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

It could be that he was getting so much hate via DMs that he deactivated it. Also, some weirdos will start photoshopping his face on to things and his family will be targeted. Even if he isn’t innocent, his family shouldn’t be published everywhere. Imagine if he is innocent and he’s had to deal with all this shit.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head there. The damage is done.

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.
