Catching up - so there's no proof that PS met MM at 10, which explains the Mail story. Theatre company didn't open until MM was 12, and PS didn't visit until MM was 14/15.
Either way, PS is scum but it's good to be accurate so people can see that Tattle information can be trusted.
The photo of PS and MM with the caption of MM being 10 years old, where did that come from?
I have to agree. There is no need for frustration at the Mail reporting verifiable facts and steering clear of speculation or joining of the gaps without concrete evidence — they’re not a gossip forum. If they get more “receipts” then I’m sure they will post them.
Although the Mail gets a lot of criticism, much of which I agree with, they’ve multiple times shown themselves capable of serious investigative journalism on stories other outlets won’t pursue to that level.
15 is questionable enough to me. GB News last night played the facts as: “well, 15 when they met but over 18 when anything happened, consenting adults” and “lots of people in the media have younger partners” and cited Leonardo DiCaprio. I find Leo nearly always dating women in their early 20s as his age advances a bit ridiculous, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a story that he first met any of his girlfriends when they were 15, and then helped them get a job at 18, then after that had an affair with them, then lied about it.
I also think that the media are firmly in their weird little bubble if they think most of us don’t find it very weird and frankly a bit disturbing to think of a person at least well into their 40s, meeting a 15 year old and then within a few years even once that person is over 18 engaging in a relationship with that person — a secret relationship that they lie about repeatedly when asked. That’s not the “just a simple age gap” narrative.
Add to that the power imbalance, wanting to succeed in an industry the older person has been very successful in, the older person is married, the older person (and this is the only bit I’m mentioning here I think the press need to get the very full receipts on) seemingly has the ability to get the younger one a job and take it away…
