Has Catherine Tyldesley made a comment about this yet? She was in Viewpoint with him so thought she would have at least said she stands in solidarity with his victims.

these headlines make my blood boil. It’s not the reveal of the next I’m a celeb contestants!!! The silhouettes with the question marks!! bleeping hate the red tops so much make my blood boil. It’s all a game to them.Today’s front page….. who could they be
It’s not compulsory for every person who ever worked with him to comment. That is not to say they are supporting him, or not supportive of his alleged victims, just that there is this demand that everybody lives their lives in public, and a unspoken condemnation that because she hasn’t commented, she is somehow lacking.
I never said it was compulsory?
I thought she would have said something, as not long before the allegations were published about Clarke, she had been vocal about filming nude scenes for “Viewpoint” and was surprised when only one scene actually made the cut.
Thank youPlease don't let anyone make you feel like you have to justify yourself for reporting/not reporting or however you choose to process and deal with your OWN trauma. The only person responsible for future victims is the abuser. I'm extremely sorry that the moment you finally feel able to tell your story has been met with instant victim blaming. I had hoped we were starting to move past this but clearly not
, I do think these are the attitudes that stop women speaking out, while I don’t feel any trauma as such I know that at the time I didn’t tell anyone, colleagues or friends as I was embarrassed that he had asked me for something so personal after only minimal contact and was searching for a reason like was I coming across as overly flirty or suggestive and I can honestly say now that No ! I wasn’t. While we were having some kind of flirty banter at no point was it sexual until he came out with that request so I just didn’t reply and for a few days after he kept sending messages just saying “yo” and “what you saying then” after a while he must have got the hint as he never tried again.
I love PWB. How disappointing.
I love PWB too. Fleabag is a work of genius. It came across as a joke taken far too far rather than sexual harassment but it was clearly out of order and someone should have put her in her place. I would hope no one would find it acceptable now.
Hopefully it was just a one off misguided joke and she's not smashing cake with her labia.
And I agree total genius. I can watch it over and over and not get tired of it.
Not gonna lie I’m dying to know who the suspects lined up in the Mirror are
I think some of them are clutching at straws and we'll never know, like the 'actor'- being a terrible boyfriend and a serial cheat is not a criminal offence, and it probably applies to most actors so I bet it isnt one person. But there will be charges for the more serious ones.
I'm sorry but I don't agree that women don't do this. Sure, it's much, much more associated with men but it definitely isn't right to say that a woman wouldn't behave that way "in a million years"! Haven't you seen hen nights, and the whole "tits out for the lads" kind of behaviour? I've seen women mooning in the back of coaches on the motorway. I once saw a whole line of women posing at the beach with their tops lifted up and breasts exposed for laughs.
It absolutely does happen, the difference is mostly that people wouldn't be threatened by a woman flashing her body parts.
This ^ Come have a night out in Newcastle and it's tits and flaps left right and centre
As you say, people just generally aren't threatened when it's women, doesn't make it ok though for sure.
The penis is a weapon. The vagina just isn’t.
But is there not a difference between a woman whipping her tits out on a night out and man getting his penis out in the work place? I'm not saying women flashing is appropriate but there's surely levels of wrong IMO..
Also don't see any problem with women getting their boobs out on the beach if there's topless men tbh but I digress

Sorry but I have to jump in on this. As a man women ABSOLUTELY do this, maybe not as much and maybe in different ways (and probably more often than not while drinking). Older women to much younger men is very common (and I mean in the work place too, try and embaress/intimidate etc the new office boy), women grabbing groins and asses of bouncers, bar men, waiters etc all common.
It's not just older (think certain Loose Women) that do it, I've worked with young girls in their late teens and early 20s who would get everything out on a night out. And even sober talk graphically about their body.
Don't get me wrong, it's more common in men and as a gay man I can also say men on men can be just as bad. But I firmly believe a male me too movement could happen if so desired. Both on being assaulted my other men, and also my women.
I also don't understand mens obsession with their dicks passed puberty. The excuses being made for Barrowman are disgusting.
Yes, I think not only is she a woman so given more leeway but she’s extremely posh. Some people assume if she or someone like Stephen Fry writes a comedy about pedophilia it must be o.k.
Agree. If someone without the posh accent told the same story it would be chavvy and vulgar.
That similar to my University (donkeys ago) the very posh girls really were quite loose around the edges and made their way through various sports teams, but it was the ordinary or ‘poor’ ones who ended up being written about in the college gossip rag.
ETA I was amazed how much time they seemed to devote to it. Although if I could have gone through a lacrosse first team I might have tried. I surmise it was all confidence and a willingness to put out for athletic 19 year olds that did the trick.
