He is portraying himself as a victim and some people are lapping it up, including some on here.
This is a man who has consistently lied, and yet we are now expected to believe everything he says now. At the time of his coming out, he said in the last few years I have realised I am gay. The last few years he referenced were the period that covered his grooming relationship with MM. So, we are expected to believe that this old man’s forays into living his true life was with a boy he had known as a young child, and who had engineered things to have him around. He said that in case news about the relationship was going to come out, which It started to because it was weeks after MM declared his love publicly.
He is still married to protect the family fortune. Before all this he was a rich, famous, powerful man, out of the closet. I can imagine why a few opportunists would want to be in a serious relationship/marriage with him. Staying married to Steph is a shield so that others don’t get ideas about their permanence in his life. It suits him and Steph well.
There are others out there who has stuff to tell. He is trying to deflect everything by using other people’s inner torments (Caroline Flack) and using homophobia accusations. He used the 1st June, the start of Pride month, to do his interviews because he wanted to link in with that and deflect attention, people are being mean because I am gay. He also thinks that this will now prevent the likes of Wooten etc to stop the “attacks”. Well played Phillip. Hopefully, if there are others with tales to tell, they won’t be put off coming forward
He isn’t the victim. The victim here is MM, who was groomed no matter how PS spins it, and who was discarded when he became manly and wanting a serious relationship. His life is in tatters. He won’t speak out now, he is still being manipulated by PS.
It’s clear that he still thinks he has a chance of controlling the narrative, it’s working in some cases, people are starting to come out in support. He will hope to resume some type of tv career (his safe space

), and he won’t leave the limelight quietly.
