And, er he shouldn’t have even started because she was under age

Jonathan Ross owns tv production companies so he’s not just a presenter. Also half his family also work in TV and make TV shows. That’s why he is super connected in all things light entertainment. He’s going to keep coming up especially with British comedians and actors especially North London types.Seems really weird how Jonathan Ross is being mentioned in a lot of articles the last few days
I really hope Matt Lucas hasn’t played any part in this.
It‘s also how he survived Sachsgate. He was on a multi-million pound contract to make his programme for the BBC, not just as his own personal salary. ITV was in ratings hell and so he offered to move his show there and they bit his hand off.
Lucy is incredible, it's the first time I've really heard a celebrity speak unequivocally about a case like this. Very brave of her.
Looking forward to watching this when it gets put online.
Ross might not have been behind the joke, but the fact that it was written and performed at all proves insiders knew exactly what was going on. How many times at rehearsal did he say it, probably snigger. Turning it into a joke has shown DW'S behaviours were known, and by chosing to say nothing they all enabled and protected him for years. If there wasn't a true basis to it, they wouldn’t have made it.
Which Lucy is this?
Handy seeing as her career has tanked anyway!

I'd like to know who wrote it and whether he or she was trying to convey something very concerning, publicly.
Unfortunately, it was just the culture of the time - sleazy, predatory, abusive men were able to get away with it in plain sight if they were (very dated word here) ‘metrosexual’. Everyone thought they were being very clever and post modern.
Couple that with a tabloid culture that routinely objectified and dehumanised women, it really was the perfect storm for behaviour such as we’ve read about recently to flourish.
I imagine a number of other stars of that era will be sleeping a little unsoundly in their beds this evening.
I was a teen and early twenties in that era. Hated all of the ladette rit. I still think somebody could have been saying "read between the lines". Unlike Johnny Rotten who just out and out came out about Savile.
