Gregg Wallace

Possibly because when women complain they are told things like “ it’s just Gregg. Ignore him.”
Or are accused of having no sense of humour, being hysterical, frigid.
Then you are classed as a troublemaker and that is reflected on your annual appraisal.
So true. Same back in the day I had to put up with racist "banter" that I found excruciatingly embarrassing and upsetting. I soon learned that if I didn't laugh along with it I was told I had a "chip on my shoulder". It's the same feeling.

A colleague who worked on MasterChef for 3 years says that whenever the cameras are off John Torode can't get away from Gregg fast enough, like literally moves to another room if possible.

If anything in the latest Popbitch mail out is true, the man should be in some sort of treatment program.

I'm glad we are finally entering a society where 'banter' is no longer an acceptable excuse for bad behaviour. It's about time the Greg's (stick your 2nd G up your a) of the world learned that you don't get away with dismissing women to little more than sexual objects, and humiliating and degrading them for your pleasure, just because you haven't physically done anything. Mental trauma is no less valid than any other variety. I have no doubt every woman here has at least 50 tales of their experiences with men like this. He's always come across as a sleazy wick, if reports like this come out about you and noone is surprised, that tells you everything you need to know.

I will say though, it absolutely is relevant that he was abused as a child and dismissed by his mother, which seems to have set off a lifetime if neediness and feeling unloved and desperate. It is also relevant if he is on the spectrum, to understand if there's a lack of awareness of social cues etc - or just blatant narcissism and disregard for others. What neither does though is justify his behaviour, but it is really important we look into the history of people like Greg - so we know what needs to change to try and prevent it in the future, or give people the help they need to be better in life.
Thoroughly agree with you here. Greg does come across as needy but also full of himself, he thinks he's God's gift but I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. I've always thought he was odd and didn't like him, couldn't put my finger on why though.

Does anyone else remember Harry Hill's programme years ago (TV Burp?) where he ripped the piss out of Wallace every week, then a few weeks later Wallace is on the programme sitting there looking ecstatic whilst Harry is taking the piss out of him?? Cringe.

The comments that have got on my nerves this week though have been the usual..... this is unfair, it's a pile on, remember Caroline Flack.... where was people's outrage over grooming gangs...... it's only banter, stop being woke..... why did people wait 14 years to come out with this?

I honestly cannot believe that the BBC have let him behave this way for so many years, what the duck goes on there? They knew all this and they let it go on AGAIN. Who is still to be exposed, because there's got to be others?

Wallace told one woman she was handling a fish like a 'rapist doing foreplay'. That's not banter or acceptable AT ALL. He's said he's on the spectrum and was getting his friends to speak to the media last weekend to remind them of that but it's no excuse. He's a grown man trying to get out of trouble so he's fully aware of what he does IMO.

I can't see this marriage lasting long. He must be like a caged animal at home not able to get out and be a sex pest. His wife must have known what he was like so I'm not sure I can sympathise, sorry to say but she's never looked the full ticket to me. I bet he really thought last weekend that blaming 'middle class women of a certain age' would turn it all around and he'd be back on TV before he knew it which just shows what an appalling thought process he has.

His 3rd and 4th wives he met through twitter after they tweeted him. I bet his private messages on twitter would be an eye opener, he must have been messaging women left, right and centre to meet up.

Last word is for Greg's lawyers who says he does not sexually harass women. Projection, much? I would say the people suffering their client's pathetic behaviour get to decide whether it was sexual harassment. The fact they mentioned sexual harassment says it all.

It's just the same tired old schtick Clarkson does ... then he says: "Oh it's just a joke". :rolleyes:

I am autistic too but I also have disabled male friends (although I use this word loosely) who use disability for their poor behaviour. There is a difference in being an a and having a genuine behavioural need.

A predator may happen to have autism, but autism does not cause their sick behaviour or prevent them from knowing better. How many people, both men and women, with autism manage to live their entire lives without sexually harassing others? I imagine the vast majority. It's sickening that horrible people like Gregg will feed into negative stereotypes of autism.

Also just to add, he was obviously well able to tone down/ hold back on his nasty inappropriate comments and behaviour with certain people. So that in itself says that he knew well what he was saying and doing was totally wrong. I never could stand him and I didn't actually know why. Now I do. It's a disgrace that he was allowed to get away with his abhorrent behaviour for so long.

Mental elf used as an excuse to slaughter innocent citizens in our streets and excuse pedophilia and grooming (Huw edwards and Schofield) now autism to excuse sexism :mad: bleeping jellyfish

They will always be a problem to society if they can't own up to their perverted and disgusting ways. Using mental illness as a shield. duck off and take your punishment like a man!

Give it time, and it will happen... I'm betting as soon as he realizes the bull apologies aren't working, as that is what usually happens.

That's when we will get reports about him going to some rehab/MH place to try and 'sort himself out' which will be enough for the 'everyone deserves a second chance' and 'did he actually do anything that bad?' lot that appeared when the news came out about Schofield.

The rest of us with brains will know he is only doing it because he was told it would get him sympathy and he will come out after and do interviews peppered in bull like 'I learnt my lesson' and 'I am so sorry I used to act that way.' only for him to slip up pretty soon after and show he has learnt nothing.

The restaurant biz is in dire straights (eateries of all calibre). So there should be no shortage of people.
Yeah Gary Neville's restaurant in Leeds just went belly-up after losing almost a million quid, with 500k being owed to HMRC. It might not be the fault of the economy in this case though given that Gaz is a thick-as-tit ex-footballer (and pretend socialist). Plus his business partner, chef
Michael O' Hare (hair?) liked to serve-up one pea on a plate covered in gold-leaf for 75quid. :rolleyes:

If Gregg is truly suggesting that his sexual harassment is down to autism and nothing else, then two points:
1) does that mean he is acknowledging he did sexually harass people?
2) if it’s down to autism and nothing to do with him being a sexual predator, and he is saying he simply had no control over what came out of his mouth then surely we’ll expect to hear from men who also experienced this?

As this all unfolds, I’m sure he will enter a facility to treat his very fragile mental health- because he can afford to. Same as he had the money to seek treatment for this compulsion earlier if he felt it was uncontrollable.

Long story short: he knew exactly what he was doing. He’s been told before about it, and the behaviour continued. As far as I can see there was no ‘OMG, I’m so sorry for how my behaviour must have made you feel; I clearly need to learn from this so I don’t put someone else in the same position’. bleeping creep. His wife looks vacant behind the eyes too.

Apparently Greggggg is going to blame being an utter a on undiagnosed autism, undiagnosed as he is sensitive about his autistic non verbal son, thus dragging an innocent child into this tit show which has been carrying on for years before the kid was born.
Nah, he acts the way he does cos he wants to, cos he's never been stopped as he absolutely should have been. I give the marriage six months, tops. As he realises he's cornered, the game is up, I expect more Insta rants blaming whoever, it's all just temper cos he's not getting his own way, like his *apology* earlier.

At least he accepted he was drunk and didn’t claim it was due to an underlying condition. I still don’t like him though and I think Dec would have managed fine without him.
