What's some juicy gossip that you can't share irl but can share with nosy strangers on mumsnet?

Special sausage just made me snort

They used to hang out in places like Courchevel, or probably Dubai

I had to Google "C suite executive".

Would make a hell of a novel/autobiography, anyway...

no, dear God 🤣

nicer and more attractive- and not an asshole!🤣

by “younger” I mean we were in our mid twenties and there was no grooming involved, and we had a clear idea what we were doing (and it was fun basically)

If that was me in your position I’d be having to draw a venn diagram and lock it in my drawer to use as reference before meeting any of them!

He wasn't called Andrew by any chance, was he?

He was one of C suite executives at some company plus had some property and other investments

What did he do to earn so much?

If this is real, you should probably stop. Although I'm hoping you're going to tell us he's 25 and built like a rugby player.

NC for this

one is a secret rather than gossip. Me and two of my best friends all slept with the same well off man years ago (when we were young and beautiful), mostly as a foursome (although occasionally separately). For money basically 🤣although we all had good professional jobs 🤣
but he was buying us lavish gifts (think Prada bags), taking us on holidays or shopping, giving us spending money and paying one off huge expenses like my degree or my friend’s house renovation. He was also married and had more other women on the side. And he was actually a nice man, not an asshole, it was just a normal thing among rich men in his circle

no one but us three knows.
this went on for a few years long time ago, now all three of us are married and not in touch with him

Did a DNA test through ancestry.com. I had a lot of matches and messages from people who share no common family names Turns out my father is not my father. Not sure what to do now. Still feeling surreal but not very worried

Definitely a Mike Ross situation. Not sure any amount of pleading their case is going to work in this situation though. I think I’m the only person who currently knows the truth but I’m not in the same industry and can’t do anything to help.

Clue please?!
Pretty please?!

The funny thing about doing this, is it can make people think you’re looking a bit haggard for your age. Whereas telling them you’re a few years older than you really are, is surely more likely to make them think you’re aging well and looking good….🤷🏼‍♀️

Every day's a school day! I had no idea this feature existed (and I'm guessing this poster didn't either!)

Thanks!

This happened years ago, but was fabulous gossip at the time! We had a team night out, and one of the Directors decided to join us. Bit weird, he didn't usually, but whatever. Late into the evening, his PA is crying in the loos, and as I consoled her, she admitted (between sobs) that she and the Director were having an affair, but she'd just found out his wife was pregnant. I told her she needed to forget about married men, put her in a taxi home and decided I would keep it to myself.

The next day, the office is buzzing with the gossip that the Director and his PA are sleeping together. It turns out PA was indiscreet all evening, and told at least 4 people!

Anyway, my favourite bit of this story is when a few days later, Director sets up a series of meetings with all the individuals who were on the night out, and sat there and lied to each of our faces that "There is nothing going on between PA and me, and if I find out who is spreading this rumour, there will be a disciplinary!" So I had to sit there and say "Nothing to do with me Sir!", all the while knowing I'd heard exactly what a shit he was straight from the horse's mouth!

Plus he had teeny, tiny hands, and called himself "Phill". Not Phil, like a normal person, Phill, with an extra "l" for being such a special sausage.

Someone I know has a fancy job that they got based on a particular high-level qualification they claimed they have. In actual fact, they don’t. They don’t have a degree at all, let alone this particular qualification. They are about to get rumbled due to a change in regulations meaning they will have to provide evidence. It’s a shame because this person basically got swept up in a lie that snowballed, and is actually very nice, and their professional experience and work ethic makes them perfect for the job, but I think they’re going to get fired 😓

Years ago my friend's teacher husband shagged his (married) TA, so she kicked him out, leaving her on her own with three under 5s. Fifteen years on, friend came across the TA's husband recently on a dating app. She made a catfish profile & got chatting to him as she was curious about whether he was still with the OW. Turns out he is mid-divorce as his wife (now a teacher) had had an affair with the deputy head at her school.

Friend gave him some kindly advice, namely to remember that as a teacher, the OW would have a decent sized pension building up and that this should be taken into account during the settlement. Revenge really is a dish best served ice cold. I'm impressed with her, but I can't tell anyone as she's terrified it will get out and people will think she's nuts.

A freedom to speak up guardian somewhere I worked years ago witnessed staff being bullied and humiliated but did nothing. He was also rumoured to have information about serious allegations which he kept quiet about. Turns out he was friends with a senior manager and using her holiday home. He runs his own executive coaching and development company now and talks a lot about compassion.
