John Barrowman

[Snippysnips]

The amount of people who still support him is insane, an his stans are ridiculous, would they be that way if it was a work colleague of there's, would they be all "oh but that's just John" NO of course not, this fascination with celebs an thinking it's OK for them to do certain things just because of who they are is not only shocking but dangerous, if a random contacted a under age for photos there would be authoritys all over that but yet celebs could easily not only ask for these things but meet up an it's just a slap on the wrist, it's about time they were punished twice as bad as the public because these are people who others look up to an they should be made a example off that nonsense like this won't be allowed no matter who you are

He managed to get away with doing that kinda shit for ten years before he was plublically called out and his career ended. I'd say he got way more leniency than the average person would have so I don't know why he's crying victim.

It also shows the kind of person he is that as soon as he realised his mea culpa wasn't working, he tried to throw others under the bus by claiming they had done worse yet had the cheek to now ignore him.

 

[Reverend]

I should say that my sympathies for Barrowman are genuine but limited. It is possible to worry about his mental state at this time and acknowledge that his crassness and stupidity have led him to this point, as it would have done anyone. All he had to do was not take out his genitalia at work. That's not an unreasonable expectation.

 

[shellie]

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.

He's also trying to throw others under the bus. I can't remember the actual wording but it was along the lines of claiming they turned their backs on him even though they had said and done things sp they had a cheek to act all high and mighty with him.

 

[Norfolking Good]

In a way a simple argument for him is if a teacher/police officer/doctor etc got their penis out at work repeatedly they would hopefully either be seriously reprimanded or worse case fired. The reason we wear clothes is exactly this, it’s not funny or clever it’s at best sad and attention seeking. I’ve no sympathy as it’s not even a one off stunt.

Bottom-line is: He needs some therapy. Or some pills or something. His behaviour smacks of psycho-sexual psychopathy. He seems like a 'nice' fella to me. But he clearly has some compulsive issues he needs to deal with. Personally, if he got his willy out in front of me I wouldn't be offended. I'd be embarrassed, for me and for him. But I wouldn't make an issue out of it. But it's not 'normal' behaviour is it. It's the kind of thing a 3 year old would do. Put it away John.

 

[Mark81]

Oh please. I used to love watching Jimmy Saville as a kid ... are you going to blame me for his his abuse?

So was I, but I'm pretty sure neither of us were jumping up and down encouraging him to abuse children.

John barrowman is a product of his own ego and his fellow cast members, crew and fans egging him on over the years. To the point now that he just can't see he has ever done anything wrong

Looks like he has been pulled from a panto as well. He was meant to appear in a Bristol panto but is no longer doing it.

He says that it is due to his tour because it has been rescheduled- as if! Face-saving. Panto is very lucrative.

 

[butterfliesandhurricanes]

I truly hope he doesn’t get invited back to doctor who once RTD takes over again. I think they were good friends? Not sure if they still are. But obviously Captain Jacks character was a huge deal for the RTD era of doctor who. I wonder if the bbc have said no to having him back after all this flashing scandal. I think it’s quite telling that none of his former cast mates from DW or torchwood said anything in his defence..

 

[Snippysnips]

He always reverts back to his Scottish accent when he's "home" met him a few times due to friends wanting to have stuff signed an his accent was the typical trying to be posh Glasgow accent, which is at least better than the common Glasgow accent lol, can't stand that accent an my brother is married to a glaswegian lol

I feel sorry for those that probably did speak up about his "willy waving" years ago an were either shushed or told to keep it quiet or it was laughed off because "oh that's just John" I wonder just how quick it would have been dealt with back then if he were straight, he seems to use him being gay as a excuse that it was only done as a laugh, I personally can't be bothered with him an his over flamboyant attatude, he's one of those I feel that would deem you as being homophobic if you didn't like all the glitter an rainbows being slammed in your face, I have nothing against gay people but I for one don't enjoy being forced into the glitter an rainbows, have your pride month but allow others to just get on with life

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.

Phil would be thrilled

Only meaning more stories will be coming out ; I think.....

Using it as a whisk???

 

[Meowsy]

To be fair, acting is not quite like an office job, and actors do pull pranks on each other. On the Noel Clarke thread, someone referenced a story Phoebe Waller-Bridge told on Graham Norton show about flashing her private bits at a fellow actor on stage as a joke. I also remember she did an interview where she talked a lot about her love for farting, and I think even did it in front of the interviewer - that’s not something I would appreciate someone at work doing, but she seemed quite proud of that.

 

[Prince Harry Monk]

I see lots of people on Twitter defending him and the argument of “why aren’t you calling out Noel Clarke instead” type comments but surely that’s because the generally feeling is that the exposè came out on Noel, the victims and the public had their moment with it, he lost his awards etc and he’s very much seen as already “cancelled” that’s why his name has gone silent on social media.

I think with John there’s not really been that big moment as it was overshadowed by Noel being the big shock story and because of that he probably thinks he’s got an opportunity to be seen as the lesser pervert who’s now deeply regretful and thus has a shot at saving his career.

I was a big fan back in the early days of Doctor Who/Torchwood. I'd go to conventions and his concerts and it was a good time. The stories told of his behaviour at work told for laughs didn't register for the unpleasant sleaze they were as I was so much younger and a bit clueless.

It's really, really sad to see what's become of him. Not excusing him at all as I think he does need to face ramifications for being unable to just hold his hands up and say sorry, I was wrong (and actually mean it) but he comes across as someone who is on the verge of a big mental breakdown and I hope that doesn't happen. Ideally, with his wealth he would get some therapy and take a good look at why he just might have been in the wrong and learn from it but this is easier said than done.

 

[no-no]

Why are these men with no concept of boundaries still on TV?

Still a long way to go judging by the morons excusing his “harmless antics” on his Instagram post

He’s never been my cup of tea, wreaked of desperation and I turned over whenever he was on tele. He reminds me of an old James Charles, another seedy narcissist.

Btw I only knew Eve Myles from Keeping Faith, loved her in that, thought she was stunning blonde.

 

[George Agdgdgwngo]

It’s just “John” flopping his cock out in the workplace, it’s okay he does that to all the girls.

if someone did this to any of my female family I would be livid

shame someone hadnt a rolling pin out and smashed it.

JB on a CBeebies film for kids TV this morning.

 

[Mark81]

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 is all rumour, the press skirting around it and his and ITVs PR machine working over time. His coming out was a big damage limitation. It just needs some.concrete accusations to come out or stories be sold.

It's the same everywhere , if you're important enough the powers that be will protect you as long as they can

 

[Mark81]

Exactly, he still doesn't see he has done anything wrong. It's also quite telling that none of his colleagues were really leaping to his defense, even his recent ones in Arrow.

There are plenty of guys in the west end that I'm sure could tell a story or two as well.

He also seemed to think captain Jack was more of a big a deal than he really was. Then the surprising leap to Hollywood, it just all fed an already out of control ego.

 

[EastofHollywood]

A thread to discuss John Barrowman.
After Noel Clarke’s horrific behaviour was revealed, this video resurfaced, and brought to light more stories of Barrowman’s fuckery.

@Sideboard Bob not gossip but my imagination always completely fails me when I have to think of Internet names, so I love yours
