By going this far with it all, he’s actually going to end up with people sympathising more with Gemma.
I don’t believe she is being paid to lie. I think more realistically, her parents are ill and she maybe thought it was Covid before anything was confirmed, or maybe she has actually lied thinking people wouldn’t find out. She’s got a lot of faults but she definitely doesn’t deserve this level of harassment, especially if she is dealing with her parents being unwell too.
The more I read about him the more I think he comes across as quite sinister. He wasn’t a pedophile hunter, he was using that as an excuse to entrap and extort money from pedophiles - he obviously didn’t care that much about what they were doing online otherwise he’d have reported them to the police, not threatened to beat them up and demanded monthly payments.
He’s obviously tried very hard to get famous over the years. He clearly thinks this sudden vendetta against Gemma is going to be the thing that gets him noticed - I hope she is taking legal action and/or the police get involved to be honest because he seems unhinged.
