It’s really poir
It’s really poor to drag other forum user’s opinions like this and mock them. DS is just a little more mixed in opinions like Mumsnet. I quite like the debate quality and find some of the most perceptive posts on DS. Love this site, especially for the influencer cult shaming, but sometimes it does feel like a bit lacking in balance views.
Gio has never been a favourite but he has had some truly memorable partnerships and performances.
I do not find Amanda’s actions commendable in the slightest.
I can imagine that those live Saturday night performances must be TERRIFYING even for contestants with performance background. It would surely be so much easier to be with a more nurturing pro, even if they might not get the best from you.
Long hours rehearsing would be a slog with someone you found difficult too.
At the end of the day though: Is it worth ruining someone’s career over? I don’t care who the pro is, it’s set a bad precedent and unlikeable fools such as Stacey Dooley saying “women should be believed”?! Total conflation.
I may be totally wrong about the severity of accusations but we are already talking about “victims”. I think Amanda probably does have PTSD but not sure it’s Strictly that caused it. I think she was probably angry and still in shock when she joined the show. Another partner might have been in the firing line for other reasons.
Just does feel like a witch hunt.
The tabloids are sensationalizing it of course, I can understand calling that a bit witch-hunty, but the investigation itself is obviously the correct course of action. A workplace can't keep refusing to ignore mounting complaints. If the investigation finds he's done nothing wrong then it's Amanda's career that'll be ruined not his, so, whatever.
It's not like I'm mocking someone with a fair, balanced 'we don't really know anything, no one should be taking sides' kind of opinion. I'm quite comfortable mocking the most unhinged, deranged and just plain stupid comment in the whole thread though, thanks!
Come on, how can you do anything but fall over laughing at "It's a year since Rose and Gio won everyone's hearts with their performances. This never gets any mention in the tabloid's one sided allegations"? Yes, you're right, I'm sorry, when a choreographer of unparalleled genius wins a shiny plastic ball and a BAFTA all by himself *shoves Rose in a broom cupboard and kicks Arduino down the stairs* and is officially bestowed the title of World's Best Disability Advocate by his fans for *checks notes* teaching an Inspirational Deaf Girl to dance (his job that he was contractually obligated to do, and that several other pros have also done with disabled contestants) it totally should guarantee him immunity from having his career ruined (which it only will be, if he's actually found to have done something unacceptable.)
Also, how am I supposed to take seriously the opinion of someone who thinks Rose won a year ago? lmao even my ADHD warped perception of time isn't that far off!
If the viewers notice it, I can't imagine how it was in person
