Greg wallace

From what I've read I'm inclined to think those speaking out are not intimidated by him, but recognise the inappropriateness of the toad's behaviour. Younger women and those nearer the beginnings of their careers may feel less able to? There's a power imbalance and much of his shouting work has been as a judge in competitions where people will have been reluctant to speak out in case it ruined their chances. He's repulsive yet must have thought he was untouchable. Also thick if he didn't realise in this day and age that his behaviour amounted to sexual harassment.

Middle class women of a certain age.

if anything validates that man can’t read the room it’s that. It is likely one of the poorly thought through statements and will cause some uproar.

honestly it’s like he just punched himself in the face.

Apparently Wallace is saying accusations are coming from
'Women of a certain age'.

So that's nice.

Like Jamie Oliver, it's too big for their mouths.

He has a fat tongue.

😂

He has a fat tongue.

Thanks.

The BBC are clearly laughing at women by allowing a sleazy, pervy presenter to carry on harassing women in plain sight.

They won't ever be getting a penny of my money again.

It may explain why they don’t stay married to him!

you can cancel and get a refund for the months you've not used and I encourage everyone to not pay

Did anyone find out why 'buttery biscuit base' was removed in that post?

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme fucking chose.

The BBC needs to get a grip. Bastards.

This is so bad. This is so clearly aimed directly at Brand. This isn't ribald innuendo. It's disgusting.

I have been a bit reluctant about the pile on that's going on, but for this alone he should have been asked to step away from Masterchef. What the hell is going on at the BBC?

Thanks for the response. Both answers make sense.

but neither Jay or Jermaine had at that time been found guilty. Don’t think the other guy had been either.

Whats the common factor with the 2 men you have named..?

One that's been customised with those little googly eyes to make it look like a puppet?👀

He's Greg with 2 G's.

Ggreg 😁

He was sexually abused as a child apparently which may have a bearing on his needy and unstable nature.

He hasn't been found guilty of anything. I'm not a fan but being innocent until proven guilty is reasonable and it's what our justice system is based on. I'm not a fan of trial by media.

And I'd like to see the rest of the series of Celebrity Masterchef. If others don't want to they don't have to watch.

Good question. I wonder if it is because GW has not done anything actually illegal (just extremely offensive), while JB has been charged by police?

Sorry if it has been covered but I don’t understand why the program with him in it is still being shown.
Jay has been edited out of the repair shop, Jermaine was just booted. There was a guy who was in a 5 part drama and they dropped the last episode.
so why is it still on?

When are the BBC going to actually grow up and do something about the people they employ and endorse??

Is it possible to cancel one's TV license and get your money back?

. . . I am now actually thinking it is time to get rid of the BBC

I remember seeing GW on Who Do You Think You Are and got a very uncomfortable vibe from him. Not creepy (there weren't really opportunities to be creepy I guess) but INCREDIBLY needy and unstable. He was really really emotional about his discoveries - nothing wrong with that - but it came across as utterly self-obsessed and sort of grandiose luvvy whilst being deeply insecure at the same time. I was left thinking, gosh that man needs some therapy.

NDAs are very standard in film and TV. I work (very occasionally) as an extra and there is aways a multi page NDA to sign. We are not allowed to say ANYTHING about the set, what scenes we filmed, who was there or not there, even the name of the show we were working on. So I would be allowed to say I was filming in July as a peasant on a period drama, but wouldn't be allowed to say the name of the production or name drop an actor I saw on the day. All crew sign similar NDAs. I have seen junior members of production crew treated very badly on occasion on set, not usually by the "talent" but mostly by other members of the crew. Most people are lovely and friendly, there are some absolute arseholes around who think the way you get ahead is by swearing and humiliating.

I have an agency representing me as an extra and can feed back to them if we have been treated badly. And I have on occasion - things like not getting a break, or being sent to sit for hours in an unheated holding room in January. Actors are in Equity/BECTU and have an agent, production have the right to join a union to represent them. But who is representing these contestants on a talent or competition show?

Strictly has brought in chaperones to accompany contestants in the wake of allegations of bullying by some of the pro dancers, maybe this should be standard in all of these types of shows.

His understanding of the NDA was so that stuff wouldn't be leaked about winners, surprises etc in the show. That is fair enough.

However they were very broadly worded and effectively the bit on reputational damage to the show seemed to be the part used to suppress any whistleblowing and protect pervy "talent." In the case of the crew, not only do they sign NDAs as part of the contract of work but they can kiss goodbye to career progression - the power wielded by the "talent" is ludicrous and very different to eg the power of a senior manager in a normal business.

IANAL but I think its already illegal to use an NDA to prevent crime reporting but of course you have to be able to prove a crime to defend yourself agains tthe NDA wielding predators.

Why has this come out now? What has triggered it we dont know about yet?
