I have updated & edited my previous post of 15/2/20 for the benefit of newcomers, apologies for repetitions of earlier info and any missed out for those who've been with the thread quite a while... When looking at this information summary in conjunction with the very detailed tweets and other social media postings that
@Rob123 and others posted in the previous thread, as well as other information that has come to light through social media, one can understand why there is a continuing frustration at the seeming lack of response from anyone with any authority to curtail PS and his activities, in addition to the apparent cover up by the removal of comments, tweets, posts etc since his big "reveal".
• This all apparently started last July with a private tweet stating PS had a flat in London where he took young guys and that he had been in a relationship with MM who was a runner on TM. This tweet was made public after PS made his public "outing" on 7/2/20, but the timeline confirms the date of original post.
*PS is gay, apparently a fact known in showbiz circles over the last 30 years. The public, in the main, doesn't care about his sexuality (no homophobia here) - the issue that upsets everyone are the blatant attempts by him, his cohorts and the media corporations backing him to manipulate the public into believing this is a recent personal "discovery" or "revelation", despite its being known in the "business" - both television and journalism - for years. I repeat, No one cares that he's gay. They care about being lied to and being manipulated, particularly if this is any part of an attempt to cover up any other potentially more damaging (perhaps even illegal as well as immoral/unethical) stories and behaviours...
* Another concern is that this "revelation" may or may not be in connection with the rumours of PS being intimate with a much younger (teenage) person, MM, who he may have met at a theatre group he is patron of when MM was aged @ 10 or 11 yrs. He also "friended" MM on social media when he was 15 although there does not appear to be many tweets shared. PS then "mentored" him through "menial" runner work at TM for a number of years after MM had crowdfunded £500 for a move to London as a young teenage adult. MM was then "promoted" to personal assistant, as well as runner, for PS & HW before being moved over to LW in the summer of 2019 after an alleged falling out or break up with PS. Rumours were that MM was apparently sacked by ITV the week just before the big"reveal", but these appear to be unfounded because he was seen on the LW video blog at the NTAs and is still in the LW end credits. MM's Twitter and media accounts, alongside the web page of theatre he attended as a youngster, have disappeared. Further rumours have surfaced that 3 runners, possibly MM and friends, tried to gain entry to the TM box at the NTAs this year to celebrate with PS & HW, but removed on the instructions of PS who did not want menial staff celebrating with the stars. This incident is possiblythe catalyst for the "big reveal".
*PS has been "mentoring" young men at ITV who have been having "issues" with their sexuality for some considerable years, all the time he's allegedly been in a happy heterosexual marriage and it's only recently he claims, over the last couple of years, that he has realised and "struggled" with his own homosexuality. Being gay isn't a virus he contracted from mentoring the young men caught like rabbits in the beam of his celebrity and influence. No, his sudden epiphany and revelation about his sexuality was so dramatic, and it literally was a drama, that everyone could see that this was a public relations exercise in damage limitation. Of what, we do not yet know, but we continue to hope that the truth will out!
*SS (no relation to PS, surname coincidentally the same) ran the 2 Faced theatre that MM attended. SS was a child performer, with PS and has remained friends with him, occasionally appearing on stage with him, on ITV shows and on the cruise liners promoted by PS and his family. Coincidentally, JS also promoted the same cruise liners. SS has socialised with PS and MM, as seen in regular social media postings, and has supported PS as recently as his recent personal "outing". It seems from social media that SS was a friend of MM's family - having socialised with them on family occasions. MM certainly appeared in photos to look up to him as a role model. Further information indicates that SS was in a relationship with MMs older sister, and that MMs family were very actively involved in the theatre group as members and supporters.
*PS became a patron of the theatre and regularly attended and supported them. The theatre's closed down last year and its web page has been closed down after the "revelation". This may be because the theatre closed down last year and is no longer paying for the upkeep of the webpage, recent searches have exceeded the minimum bandwidth allocation and therefore it is no longer showing.
*PS has been Snapchatting teenagers/young men for some years, illustrating a pattern a behaviour with a prevalence towards young guys who are young looking. His language and behaviour shows a concern because he is addressing young boys/men in youthful vernacular, not what would be expected of a middle aged married family man, and the use and promotion of the use of alcohol during these Snapchats is also a concern. Recent information indicates that he has also responded to a few young teenage women, but again his preference or target "audience" over Snapchat is teenagers, preferably males. One has to ask why a successful television personality in his 50s feels the need to try and engage with and solicit the responses of young people in "banter" in the early hours of the morning? I personally feel that there is a degree of grooming and exploitation in this type of behaviour, from an adult with experience, money and influence towards younger more vulnerable and malleable teens on the verge of adulthood.
*Yes, MM when viewed as a young teenager in the videos he posted could be perceived by some adults as a precocious, irritating oik (which, tbh as a mother of four, I can honestly say a lot of teenagers can be perceived this way), who wanted to make his way in the "wonderful" world of showbiz. But, and this is a big but, that in no way excuses older, richer and more influential men like PS from taking advantage of much, much younger adoring, desperate and vulnerable children/young people and using them for their own personal sexual gratification, and then possibly casting them aside once they lose their innocent looks and charming boyishness. That's called grooming and exploitation whichever way you look at it!
*In addition, MM is still a young guy (early 20s). It's entirely possible that his potential in acting or a career in television has been robbed from him by all this and by the adults who should have been giving him proper guidance and protection right back at stage school and at ITV. Shame on them. It is being touted that MM has accepted a payment for signing a NDA. Even if this were true, this payment will not last forever and his hopes of a career could still be affected by his association - whatever it is - with PS, who has long had a reputation of being a nasty piece of work in reality.
*Rumours are rife that both PS and HW not only indulge heavily (and glorify in this the day after on television) in alcohol but regularly partake in the use of "Columbian Marching Powder", which may account for some of their manic "under the influence" behaviour at times, as well as possibly their weight control and their reported unpleasant manner towards other people in more menial/less public positions. Obviously, we all know that other "stars" use and misuse non prescription drugs as well. What rankles though is the celebrity and profit PS & HW make from their reputations that they are clean living family people, and that they get to be "outraged and indignant" towards other poor people appearing on their programmes that struggle with their issues without the benefit of the "smokescreen" of hypocrisy, big finance and corporate protection that PS, HW & all their other presenter/celebrity friends have. It's sickening, hypocritical and a blatant manipulation of us the general public.
*Almost all the big presenters at ITV are represented and aggressively promoted by the same company JG Media, which coincidentally employs many of the adult children of said "stars", and which explains why we see them on so many programmes and in so many adverts ad nauseum. This is like a "mafia" that runs a protection around them to prevent "unpleasant" and negative stories appearing in the press whilst promoting positive and, as we have seen with the the big "reveal", basically fictional stories. This organisation seems not only to organise their lives/relationships but also influences the public's, because it controls the information we get access to and thereby decisions we may make. There is obviously not only reputations but big money in this. Just how much and how far are they willing to go - or have gone - to protect their sources of income?
