It just goes to show that you can't spot an abusive twat easily. Who'd have guessed?

story, sorry, Torygraph

[edam]

Yes, quite. Scary man.

[picnicbasketcase]

If all of those details are true, yes he does sound extremely creepy and controlling.

[Bossybritches22]

Clever girl to tape it-much harder to disprove.

[TheLaineyWayIsEssex]

wow! did not expect that. Very clever of her to tape him, and brave of her to go to the police. Must have been hard knowing that he was in the public eye so attention would be drawn to the case.
What a vile man, hope he doesn't get off scott free.

[pictish]

Oh dear! If this is true, he is very nasty man.

[edam]

yes, tape wa a v. good idea, very powerful evidence it will be hard for the jury to ignore. Although I'm sure there will be some who believe the myths about domestic violence and will focus on 'why didn't she leave' instead of 'why didn't he stop'.

[GlibGlobGloo]

I'm shocked. What a vile, vile man.

[DuaneDibbley]

What a shit! I hope prospective employers take note.

[AmberLeaf]

I came here to search for a thread about this and if none was going to post one with this link Daily mail link

What a cunt eh? allegedly

[fraggletits]

Whoa! it Sounds like full blown Narcissism - with recordings of him being played out in court and the 'Pukka' pad then I doubt it's all made up on her part.

[KatoPotato]

Almost akes you wonder what strong arm tactics he used to reunite the Grange Hill Cast....

Allegedly

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

What an utter, utter cunt.

[Darkesteyeswithflecksofgold]

What a bastard! Cunt of the highest order!

[AmberLeaf]

Its all bad but that pukka pad filled with her sexual history and him using it in later arguments [read him using it to berate her] is just sooo fucked up.

I quite liked his shows before as well.

[PosieParker]

I believe every word, it sounds very plausible.
The waking her when sleeping if she wasn't facing him , the pukka pad , pulling her hair and slapping her face . That he may not get a custodial sentence .

[carlywurly]

Shocking. The abusive twats are all too often the least likely candidates though. That's how they get away with it for so long.

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I posted on another thread about it being allegations, and nothing was proved, but some of the evidence is pretty damning.
I wonder what his defence team will say.

[ripsishere]

I've never seen a whole program me with him in. Only little bits and pieces. He seemed like a decent, amusing man.
Just goes to show.

[DappyHays]

He seems so cuddly and lovely. It just shows there is no such thing as a typical abuser.

Frankie Boyle on the other hand is donating all his profits from his Irish gigs to an Irish domestic violence charity, or so he tweeted.

[Fairylea]

Awful. However I'm not surprised... he's always been very me me me and quite insecure having watched a lot of his programmes... that's a bit of a red flag in my experience..
Poor woman.

[DappyHays]

Aren't most performers "me me me" though? Kinda goes with the territory.

[CuriousMama]

Frankie Boyle may not be to everyone's taste but he's very intelligent.

Collins on the other hand

[CommunistMoon]

I remember seeing him 'peform' in a tent at Ashton Court free festival in Bristol 15 or 16 years ago - we thought he was the unfunniest twat ever. No change there, then. Sorry to hear that he is allegedly an abusive tosser, though.

[NorthernGobshite]

Wow, what a fuckwit. Awful.

[NorthernGobshite]

dappyhays* this isn't being 'me me me', it's domestic violence.
