Great to see. Some bosses think getting rid was a mistake and there is nothing they would dare do to punish his work mates who are standing by him. Once he clears his name I can see him on Bauer Media somewhere. Maybe somewhere like Heart and back in his old afternoon slot.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

Well, an article written by his PR would say that, wouldn't it? It conveniently doesn't mention his statement. Who represents Rylan, Zoe, Vine etc. - is it the same agency as him? We know that celebs aren't personally doing everything on their social media.
If he was innocent of multiple, serious sexual assaults against a child, he could have cleared himself very easily (in the court of public opinion, at least) by putting the words "I didn't do it" in his own statement.
But he didn't.
If any part of the allegations were incorrect, his lawyers would have approved him saying that they were untrue or false.
But he didn't.
The police stated multiple offences, yet he minimises it to one. He didn't say that there's no evidence - he confirmed that there is evidence! He didn't put a single word of denial in his entire statement.
Friends supporting him is irrelevant. People who commit sexual offences against children will deny and lie to everyone about it. And most people don't like to think the worst of others.
I sympathise with fans who feel deceived, but when someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Also, any talk of him suing the BBC is meaningless. Walliams sued and won over the leaked audio in his dismissal - is there anyone on Tattle who doesn't still think that he's a wrong'un?

They may very well have been warned, but told the BBC to get lost. They can't sack all of them - Rylan, Sara, Jeremy Vine et al.
I don't really know what to think anymore to be honest. The statement was a bit odd with no denial, which initially made me think there must be something to it. But if he is suing, would he really do that if he didn't think he had a chance of winning? And also noone else seems to have come forward with any other stories about Scott Mills, whereas with the likes of Huw Edwards, there were quite a few.
I dont think he can say “I didn’t do it” in a statement because it’s probably a legal matter where he is advised not to comment. Plus it would set people off on what “it” was now there’s an admission there was “something”. So I don’t read anything in to that.
Apart from that I’m not going to condemn him -yet. Let’s see what comes out.

Well gregg said he was suing the BBC
Then he didn’t, mainly coz he didn’t have any grounds
Exactly
Again - it doesn't have to be more than one person to make it a crime/issue. It could be that others haven't come forward, or it could be that whatever it was was a one-off especially given Scott's comparable young age at the time. It doesn't really matter.
That's it. There is talk that people are excusing Scott because they liked his show. That isn't me. I am a big Wrestling fan and two weeks today is 21 years since Chris Benoit passed away. Anyone in to crime shows would find stuff on You Tube that would interest them about the case. He was found dead at home and WWE did a tribute show saying what a great guy he was. The day after it came out he had killed his wife and young son and then killed himself laying a bible beside each body as if to beg for forgiveness like he killed them out of his mind, came around, felt the guilt and ended his own life.
It came out his brain was of someone with dementia in their 80s. Hardly a surprise as his main move was a flying headbutt off the top rope. You drop your skull in to someones chest from a great height with force thousands of times over the decades of your career and your brain is going to be mangled. For this reason many fans forgive him, want him in the WWE hall of fame and still enjoy his matches as he was 5 star in the ring he could have a world class match with a sweeping brush he was that talented. But me I cannot separate the crime from the guy who was great at his craft. I haven't watched anything of him in the two decades since.
Some people will still watch Savile clips. Some will still listen to Gary Glitter songs. I just couldn't. If I thought Scott had done bad I wouldn't be sticking up for him. It's not like he will be reading this thread. Wait he might as celebs know all about here, so I reckon even if he hasn't viewed this thread someone close to him will have seen all our varying opinions
He was the highest paid by a fair bit before being sacked.
If he wins an unfair dismissal his salary will look small fry, as he will get lost earnings as well.
Surprised naga earns more than Sophie and fiona
It's interesting how his wage is so out of place compared to the others. I guess it's due to legacy at the BBC and now Huw and Lineker are no longer there.
Do the BBC have to disclose any settlement?

I'm not sure what he does at the Beeb now, but I'm pretty sure Justin Webb pre-dates Mills.
Is there actually any confirmation of any legal action or settlement? It's pretty easy (and not binding) for his management to just hint at it in the media.
I can't see him winning unless the BBC have been absolute idiots (which is always possible).
Unlikely, settlements usually have an NDA
I think he might have got paid for Race Across The World as well? He was cheaper than Zoe Ball for the radio show. Market rates innit.
Am I allowed to say this - but is this who Victoria Derbyshire is talking about on TikTok maybe?
What’s she saying
