Another man on TV abusing women

This has got to be a wind up!

Wow...just wow....🤢🤢🤢

Lots of people would consider grooming an underage child very wrong indeed, same for abusing a position of power to act in a predatory way towards the aforementioned groomed child.

Brave of you to declare publicly that you see nothing wrong with either…

Schofield did nothing wrong for goodness sakes.

Gino, Fred and Gordon came to my workplace years ago for the first series of Road Trip. I made sure I wasn’t around, but those that were confirmed I’d made the right decision.

@LizzieSiddal yes her husband Dan Baldwin produced it and seemed to have no problem with his wife and other females being subject to lewd comments.

You didn’t understand the OP? Really?

I assume English is a second or third language,

This one really doesn't surprise me. Sadly.

100%. And who was the producer of Celebrity Juice? Can’t remember his name but it was Holly Willoughby’s husband. So he encouraged the behaviour of the likes of Gino towards his own wife. 🤢
HW is a very powerful woman in ITV, yet she carried on working with this creep on This Morning. Also worked with the other creep Scofield but she denied knowing anything about that. 🤔

Fowl Programmes like celebrity juice have encouraged these types and given them a platform. Thank god it's not on tv anymore.

I've worked in hospitality in my younger days, from around age 15 to 22/23, and can confirm this is true in my experience too. It follows the same MO and power dynamics as male to female abuse and would always be a more senior woman - either by position or age, or both - towards a much young man, often a teenager. Lots of comments of the "oooh, young man!" variety, lecherous remarks about stamina/vigour of youth, having a toyboy, questions about their body, their girlfriend's/relationships, have they ever had an experienced woman, and so on. I have no doubt that there'll have been worse gone on elsewhere but these are the sort of things I witnessed. Basically all of the same pervy shit men direct towards women but all of it still based on power dynamics because abuse is never about sexual attraction, it is always all about power.

Agree it not shocking, people know what he is like and that's why he was booked.

Exactly how I feel- and with the fake accent. I could never understand why or how he was on tv.

Is there no end to it? I can't say I'm completely surprised about this one though. I've always thought there was something a bit 'off' about him.

Oh FO. Do you not understand why women and even men don't report abuse? Even as grown ups?
Not sure if you are being deliberately obtuse, your are an apologist for abusers, an abuser yourself or really really that naive. If it's the last, I suggest you educate yourself

It's called power.
Do you understand how many women don't report SA because of fear that they are the ones that will be destroyed? And how difficult it can be to prove something like SA and especially historical. Just look at all he powerful women Weinstein abused who didn't come forward for fear of their careers being destroyed and for fear that they couldn't prove it. It's only when a critical mass came forward that he was convicted. Same with Puff Diddy. And many other men including those with z level power

I hope Gordon and Fred are tainted by their association and acceptance of the twat

Such a dickhead. I’ve never understood why he was employed on TV and have avoided his appearances.

Why would anyone employ or watch him 🤢

This nails it. ^

I feel he's made a career out of being a letch. I'm not sure he's pretended to be anything else

Another ITV darling who seems to be on everything.

Quite like that simple turn of phrase

I despise Gino. He is also a convicted burglar, and when Paul Young offered to forgive him for burgling his house if he cooked him a meal, he refused. I mean, what a tosser! and that was before this business. He has never been funny and always been sleazy and inappropriate. I wonder what Gordon, Fred and Gino got up to on those road trips.. hmmm..

He wasn't even "hiding in plain sight", he may as well have been waving a banner saying "I'm a misogynistic perv". Not surprising in the slightest. The only surprising thing in all of this is how he ever managed to climb to the top of the greasy pole in the first place.

Women often don’t have 100% proof though do they. Even if there are whitenesses, there are also often NDAs
