The podcast that I mentioned previously addresses this. Apparently he agreed to curb his behaviour and appeared to understand what was being asked of him but seemed unable to stop. It sounds like his behaviour had some compulsive or addictive quality to me which would fit with a childood trauma history. His bad behaviour is obviously still his responsibility but I guess we are all trying to understand how he could be so wanton.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

I thought I read above that he said he never discussed it with his therapist. I've never had a therapist so I don't really know if that's normal or not.
One thing is clear, the tabloid media and corporate media as a whole is almost finished now, the blanket coverage is utterly OTT. The main news on BBC at 1pm stopped half-way through with 'breaking news' ... I thought maybe something had happened to King Charles, no it was to announce that two xmas episodes of Masterchef were not being aired. REALLY?!?! THAT'S NEWS??!?!
A small man who got lucky, very lucky.
It's not normal - that's exactly what he should be discussing with a therapist. No wonder he continues to act the way he does. There are two big things there to be unpacked - the sexual abuse and his mum not really wanting to know about it. They have shaped his behaviour.
Look he's an average guy that got bloody lucky and somewhere along the way he got decidedly big headed, he's a narcissist, this shows in his inability to apologise sincerely, he blames everyone but himself and doesn't think he's done wrong, he's an oaf
I think you've summed it up perfectly. But of course that's not enough for a 50 page pull-out in The Sun tomorrow, a two-hour documentary on Channel 4, a roundtable discussion on Newsnight, a panel discussion on The Jeremy Vine Show, or a phone-in on LBC.
Come on, I need 1500 words, on my desk tomorrow: "Why Gregg Wallace is a twit".
Then, next week I want 1500 words on my desk: "Are Middle-Aged White Men who are mats misunderstood?".
Then, the following week, I want ... "Has Feminism gone to far? Are men the problem? Or is it women?
....You get the idea. The media-churn does my head in.

Tick box training doesn't do anything unless managers enforce a just culture. Although it does mean people can't claim, as his excusers are, that they simply don't know (the 'we don't know what we can say anymore!' thing)
No, I'm suggesting it doesn't cause or excuse his sexism. It would be gross to suggest CSA meant he had to persistently and prolifically harass women. There is evidence suggesting CSA/other ACEs may be linked to psychological disorders, of which I don't think being a workplace sex pest is one. I think there is a line to be drawn for adults between saying CSA/trauma might cause hypersexuality/certain behaviours (to consensual acts) and harrassment/anything non consensual.
The vacuum he developed in is misogyny and a culture in entertainment where the talent does what it likes. I agree with your point about media churn, it will not help any discussion around this.
Having to come to terms with that at such a young age must affect you.
GW described himself as 'insecure' in one article and Torrode said he is OCD.
Maybe he should have sought help.
GW may have felt he had healed from the CSA therefore he didn’t raise it with his therapist. If he was in marriage therapy then he may not even have thought to raise it.
One cannot be a disorder.
I can't remember who said it but wasn't it a 90 minute meeting about his behaviour at one point?
More allegations yikes
I think with the whole masterchef thing They should rest it for a year then comeback with with a fresh look
Has the twit actually been found guilty of anything yet? I hate to be the party pooper here. I know it's all people and giggles right now but the likes of Wayne Couzen's and Bellfield are playing on their games console right now in HMP laughing their arses off.

Those half naked pictures he used to put out....
He looked like a shelled turtle.

Who hasn't put a half-naked photo out on social media? Come on.
All joking apart though, social media has ducked UP society. Everyone thinks they are a model and everyone else is interested in their daily routine. It's brainwashing 101. WAKE UP.
(sorry to shout).
What I meant is that even if people go to EDI training it doesn't mean they'll act upon it, if they're a crappy person, they might still behave shittily. In most companies there's a disciplinary procedure but it doesn't always get implemented, or it can be very protracted, so people who harass, bully or discriminate often get away with it even if they've allegedly been on training.
As for MasterChef, they're probably doing the right thing showing Professionals to the end, it's nearly finished and people are invested, not least the actual contestants. Cancelling celeb Christmas specials is no big deal as they're low stakes anyway. The next civilian series is tricky though, as I think I read it's already been filmed? Would they even be able to edit around his presence? And if they didn't show it at all, is that fair on the contestants?
