Another man on TV abusing women

There will be another one in the news very soon😐

It's for the same reason rapists and sex offenders don't get anonymity during the legal process, because it encourages other victims to come forward. These aren't isolated accusations, it's a series of accusations over a number of years by several different people so clearly there is an issue there to be answered for.

Yep.. 🤨

Not surprising at all 🙄🙄

Don't think changing values should be respectively punishable however he was a burglar so shouldn't have been on the box in the first place.

And women are still routinely not believed anyway. When the Gregg Wallace allegations first started trickling out there were lots of posters who didn't think it sounded "that bad". If we give these men carte blanche to operate under a code of silence then we are actively going to make life so much harder for all women.

If we waited for an investigation and verdict before naming men then Harvey Weinstein would still be raping women in his hotel room. The criminal justice system isn’t reliable enough

He creeps me out too! Always has

If I were his wife I would be burping, farting and picking my nose every time I saw him! 😂😂

It's in the public domain, you're not going to be sued 🙄

Love Gordon & Fred though 😊

Did you not know who it is then? Italian on breakfast tv and friendly with Fred and Gordon.
Personally I always found him crude and offensive and turned over. but in his defence he has been encouraged and laughed with for his behaviour so it’s a bit rich to suddenly change the guidelines on him.

I dare say there are a good few more names that'll come out over time, and rightly so they should be bought to court to face charges.

My only questioning on these cases though, No I'm not putting my tin hat on is should the accused have their name dragged all over the media, whether that be a so called celebrity or.... a Joe Bloggs MNers DH/DP, yes broadcast it on the news but to name a person without a full investigation is a bit Kangeroo court like.

Thank you. I would have thought that too

But it showed he was also harmed 🙄 I am small build 5'1 he is 6ft and muscular

Sorry you went through that. Surely the scratches were just evidence that you struggled against him?

I never saw this show and don’t know anything about the format. I’m glad about that now!

Exactly that and the groping too. I'm straight and have been groped and propositioned by women as well as men, not all in hospitality either. I learned to pull fast extreme aggression out of nowhere by the time I was 17 I'm not all that aggressive in real life, it was just a way to stop it before they go too far. I do hate it when people decide they can maul you or demand sexual favours just so you can continue to do your job.

While I would say it is mostly men committing these acts, there are some women who do this. It is about power and what people think they can make you do, the worst of it is when you are in your late teens to mid-20s because you're almost always in a lower status job but it doesn;t walways stop there.

And he's axed. At least itv have acted pretty swiftly for once. Sorry for Daily Mail link.

I understand why victims don’t report especially if it’s a celebrity.

You mean he did nothing illegal.

It can still be wrong though. I know Elton John and others have suggested nothing would have been said had it been a man and a younger woman, in other words homophobia is at play, but it was the fact he knew him from when he was 15, in a position of authority got him a gig at ITV, then had sex with him when he was of legal age, and behind his wife's back. He said it wasn't grooming and we can only take his word for it. It just doesn't look right though.

I agree the ordeal of reporting abuse is often very traumatic and stressful

I was told by a female police officer it was not worth pressing charges as my ex had scratches on his face, I was suffering from concussion at the time and bruised all over thankfully a lovely nurse asked the PO to leave me alone and then had a supportive chat with me.

No one has to report any offence. I admire those who do, and I thank them for taking that stand to help others. But it’s a whole new ordeal, and I don’t blame anyone who can’t face revisiting the pain they suffered.

I know a Michelin star chef who has worked on tv a bit who can’t stand him, he made that clear many years ago. The chef I know is really lovely, I haven’t watched D’Acampo since he told me how much he dislikes him, I switch off or turn over.

Not at all shocked by this

He has always made creepy comments and I am a Celeb he was revolting I couldn't want anything he was on after this

As for Celebrity Juice this was always the absolute pit if misogyny, utterly vile with its revolting its all a joke prat of a presenter. I am shocked so many intelligent women went on this show

Are you taking the piss?
