John Barrowman

[VC10]

""Aww, Im sorry . Its just little old gay me , messing around, thats all""

""" Its showbiz """



So thats all right, then........

 

[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

Oh fuck off you fucking cockwomble. You were rightly called out for abuse and now you're cooing about being suicidal. The fact is, no one wants to see your nasty genitals and it says everything about you that you consider such behaviour in any way acceptable.

 

[House of Tea]

Is he playing Dick Whittington?

 

[Dirtyhorseshoes]

Buttons - undone of course

 

[Mark81]

Lorraine Kelly, the Loose Women have all been quiet. They are all guilty of enabling 'friend of the show

The BBC is getting a lot of flack for hiding poor behaviour, but ITVs incestuous policy of cross over of people in shows and supporting other shows on the channel creates the same toxic atmosphere

 

[Mark81]

His behaviour has been known for years, he's had a weird juvenile Obsession with his dick. He also loves sex, nothing wrong with that in theory, but his time in the west end as an actor it did border on what would be called predatory now. He assumes everyone thinks like him.

 

[Dirtyhorseshoes]

Dancing in Ice will have to find a new judge. I wonder if he ever got it out and slapped Jayne torvill or Phil Schofield with it.

 

[Mark81]

He is also therefore suggesting that all gay men would happily get their dick out and play with it on people. No, they wouldn't.

Gay men already have this obsessed with sex and dicks reputation, to dismiss what he did in such a way feeds that reputation.

And even IF the gay argument is accepted for women. What about straight and gay men on set.

Unfortunately he has been protected and enabled for so long he doesn't see a problem

I've just seen the celebs that are supporting him on Instagram post...actually quite disgusting. Especially Ashley banjo who is quick to jump on anything race related, but he is perfectly OK with this

 

[LadyMuck]

If it was Joe Bloggs flashing and exposing himself he would be probably jailed.

 

[Mark81]

Thing is...there is no explanation for getting your dick out in the work place, or anywhere outside your own home/hotel etc. It's never been acceptable in society for hundreds of years. Flashing hasn't suddenly become illegal. Trying to normalise it and explain it away is frankly bizarre. Did you get your dick out on set? Yes. There is no further context needed. There is no excuse

 

[House of Tea]

Think that Noel was labouring the point because he was disgusted about it, but none of his colleagues were. I think he wanted the behaviour highlighted, but nobody took it seriously (because it’s John and he is lovely!). He might have also had the Barrowman treatment himself. A photo, a plonker on his shoulder, a flash or two.

Ironical, seeing as he is accused of worse, arguably.

An odd profession, where normal workplace rules do not apply it seems.

 

[liar liar]

I say this is just him saving face in PR. Jumped before pushed

I'd say that is a very unfortunately phrased headline!

 

[kev1974]

His 30 May show in Lichfield, not the man himself

Although some might say ...

Both ticketholders have apparently been refunded

 

[VC10]

I don't understand how ITV have taken action against John Barrowman, yet Phillip Schofield gets off scot free?
Someone please explain this to me.
Both of them disgust me.

Schofield comes out on tv to elicit sympathy ( hes so brave, etc) - whats brave about that? A pained poor-hard-done-by expression all over his face, etc ....
He only came out to circumvent the real news coming out over that teen lad .

 

[Amelia99]

He sounds horrible. One of those crass “some people have no sense of humour” types when someone finds his behaviour offensive. And as for “it was a different time”. Was there ever a time where it was ok to get your dick out in public and rest it on people’s shoulders? Terrible shame hat pins have gone out of fashion. One swiftly applied would have quickly cured him of the shoulder resting habit!

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

And all the stories of him being a backstage bully were instantly stopped. His time will come….I hope!

And Eamonn and Ruth booted from the Friday slot. Wouldn't have anything to do with Ruth standing up to Pip would it

As for John Barrowman's supporters saying it's homophobic they need to give their heads a wobble. He's behaved like a dick (see what I did there ). The question is , has he done it since and modified his behaviour?

 

[Flowergirl14]

Oh fuck off you fucking cockwomble. You were rightly called out for abuse and now you're cooing about being suicidal. The fact is, no one wants to see your nasty genitals and it says everything about you that you consider such behaviour in any way acceptable.

The fact that he thought it was only “tomfoolery” to get his cock out and wave it at women, colleagues as well!!
Just because you are gay, it is still not acceptable.
Not to men either….
And he did it in the workplace??
He disgusts me.

 

[Ndrangheta]

I've been on a real tear recently. About 'enablers'. Not that I forgive John, not at all. But let's just take a moment; it's the enablers who allow people like John to show their willy to people. Obviously it's not in the same ballpark, not by a million miles, I'm just illustrating the point: The BBC enabled Savillie to abuse people. It's the ENABLERS we should really be targeting here. I'm going back to Chris Evans ... brilliant broadcaster, millions of viewers -- liked to get his dick out; they all turned a blind-eye. Who? The TV execs. The faceless enablers of these sex-offenders. Why? For viewers, for money. MONEY. Hollywood; Weinstein ... M.O.N.E.Y.

 

[coconochanel]

Whipping your cock out is bad enough (personally Id have just said put it away you dirty bugger) but putting it on peoples shoulder is out of order IMO.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Oh completely, it's never been OK and I've never understood how he has got away with that (and I'm sure other things too). I don't believe things just stopped in 2008. Like that journalist who said JB made comments to him that made him uncomfortable. Using being gay as an excuse has got to stop.

As always it's only when a light is forcibly shone on a situation that anything happens.

I'm not condoning his behaviour and I don't know if he has modified it or not. If he'd lobbed his knob on my shoulder I'd have hit it so hard he wouldn't have got it back in his pants but I'm sure as far as he was concerned he thought it was dealt with. It's pathetic for ITV and the BBC to take action now. They should have the balls to say we knew about this behaviour, he's apologised, it hasn't occurred again and we back him. They're as culpable as him.
