Phillip Schofield #31 Unwise but not illegal

[Don’tStart]

When else has anyone offered up their own scandal in a grovelling apology to a newspaper?

There has to be loads more far more damning stuff.

If it was just a case of "oh maybe he might have been underage possibly" he wouldn't have been completely dropped by his agent etc.

agents don’t drop people for having affairs with other adults, and if the affair was the issue the ITV would have struggled to get rid of him without facing an unfair dismissal case. There is more to it than two consenting adults having sex.

 

[Veronique]

Much, much more to come on this.

He's another Saville

There has to be more. Because without a victim/s who might be willing to say they were underage when anything happened this would all seem a bit much - the scandal, losing your entire career etc if it was just only one consensual affair with a younger adult coworker. Plenty of people have been guilty of that so there absolutely has to be more to this. And to force him to make a statement like this?

 

[Ennui]

Well done Tattlers. Right all along. Can't believe he's got away with it for so long.

I really hope MM has support around him.

 

[Chronically_knackered]

Did he have sex with anyone under 18? No evidence of that at all. Yes he lied and cheated but no evidence he had sex with someone underage and it is potentially libel to say so so I suggest you stop it

the photos speak for themselves. At the very least, there was grooming behaviour going on

Ok I didn’t comment again last night on this as it was quite triggering for me but as you’re bringing it up again in order to win some kind of argument…if your only job is to keep your child safe and you fail with your child being abused UNDER YOUR NOSE, by default you are a shit parent. Sorry if you don’t like facts.

I’m sorry all the adults in your life failed you as a child . My experience was that my mum screamed and screamed for help from social services to get me away from my abuser but as she had mental health and substance issues , no one believed her or me . Like I said, your experience is your experience, and your opinion is valid but it’s not my experience. Please stop telling me it’s a fact my mum was a shit parent - I don’t blame her for my abuse, I blame my actual abusers

Phillip knew from the very off that he wanted MM. He made sure to keep in touch with him, then when he was old enough, went in for the kill. More sordid when you realize poor MM has had a predator waiting in the wings, ready to pounce when the time was right. That's not falling for someone and it being mutual, that's grooming. Anyone who even thinks of defending that dirty old nonce for even a millisecond can get to

Well, knock me down with a witch's broom! Been out at the coast all day (having a lovely time) when this broke and have only just settled down to catch up with the news. Schofe was the initial reason I came over to Tattle (after the Digital Spy wipeout) and stayed. Haven't JUST things come 'full circle'? Dammit, I've so much to catch up on, now, it's gonna be the wee small hours and beyond 'til bedtime. Well, Tattlers, you saw this coming. Not got much to add but just....WOW! Crikey, Moses.

My main concern in this is for Matthew Mc Greevy. Hoping he's ok and feeling supported. He might have been 'legal age' when the physical shenanigans began but he was still very young and it most certainly won't have been an 'equal' relationship, by any means.

Couldn't give a flat damn about Holly. She'll always look out for number 1.

How much per hour are you paid?

Grooming is not illegal either unless it leads to sex with someone under 18 or financial abuse

 

[bizwizz89]

Katie Price??? The revenge porn culprit, animal killing, child neglecting evil witch who has fucked up hundreds of peoples MH by not paying them and ruining their businesses, whilst claiming she suffers mental health issues to get out of drink and drug driving crimes???

Said Katie Piper to be fair.

 

[Newnamewhosthis]

The agency I work for has been buzzing about this all week! Apparently he’s been looking for a crisis coms team. no agency will sign him as a represented client but they are all tripping over themselves to provide ER support on a hourly basis and if anybody can turn this round or limit damage for him it would be a massive win with not much to lose cause he’s already in the gutter

 

[ChastityDingle]

Are people forgetting the power Philth had at ITV?? One word from him could do serious damage to careers of people who dared to disrupt his narrative. I don’t blame them at all.

Spot on. I don't blame them either.

Look at all the people he managed to oust. Look at the fact that he was given a platform to announce his 'coming out'. WTF! There's just so much harm he did to so many people over the years and he was protected by ITV no matter what.

I think it's very unfair of anyone to blame people like Eamonn (and Ruth) for not speaking out.
Even yet, there will be apologists for Schofield, I am sure, attempting to defend him. The lowlife creep,

*Sticks the kettle on*

 

[Warriorqueen]

I’m mindful that a couple of his crisis management team are on this thread trying to disrupt and confuse. I think you’re fighting the tide there guys. I’d retreat tbh. The war is officially lost.

I can't keep my joy to myself any more with the breaking headlines x I was with a Twitter group many years ago and we did detective work about Matthew M .. screenshot the messages filthy phil sent him when he was only around 14yrs old and the connection with the 2faced company. We tried to get the media to listen and got nowhere was like we were making up a conspiracy theory. I’ve been waiting for the truth to catch up with him .. he is a child groomer. I had to drop the group cus I was even doubting everything we found out there was ignored xx

 

[loveanatter]

I really can't see him putting his mum through anymore pain.
It's only a week since her other son was sentenced to 12 years.
I can't believe he would put her through anymore purgatory.

I feel really sorry for his Mum. I mean you could argue that two sons who are wrong ones blah blah blah. But to get to her age, and have to deal with all this, I find really sad. And sad for whatever the repercussions (on her) may be x

 

[AllSeeingEye123]

Schofield Savile Harris. Now that's a solicitors you wouldn't go to.

 

[CanIGoBacktoBed]

Sorry to say again Philth and his brother fit the profiles of generational sexual abusers they were probably abused themselves. It's normal to them to have deviant sexual behaviour.

Not 'normal', no. I was SA by 2 family members and have never, ever had any thoughts of deviant behaviour. Please don't generalise as this school of thought is distressing to victims.

 

[veevee04]

Why would you want to talk to random little kids? You don't have anything in common , he was contacting underage boys to then groom into having sexual relationship. The thoughts were there before they had the sexual relationship he got him a job on TM. It was always his plan.
