As the title. Aibu to think it’s a bit of a joke Jonathan Ross is being slaughtered while Matt Lucas is silent? Surely he would have known and have things to say!

Oh for goodness sake, how many more names are you all going to throw out tonight? Some poster got criticised for suggesting Sooty and Sweep, but we might as well.

Well many many people knew and ignored and stood by while they behaved as they did. Maybe people (men usually) should be taught that silence is the same as being complicit.

There are allegations teenaged boys were abused on a little Britain tour… silence is complicity in my book

Im fed up of hearing about all that crap now. Focus on the good in life instead of looking to stir the pot and get worked up.

He's busy distancing himself singing in Les Mis last time I saw him.

I just watched the ITV documentary on David Williams.

The staff on the shows said everyone knew.

So Matt Lucas knew too.

Did you read her post? She hasn’t suggested Matt Lucas has preyed on girls and women.

All these guys know, they flock together. It is similar to how Piers Morgan knows all of the perverts and invites them on for air time and befriends them. They get a kick from knowing they can buy silence with their fame and enjoy each other's company because they can say and do whatever they like in front of each other.

Do tell which “perverts” Piers Morgan has befriended! What a ridiculous statement.

Andrew Tate, Trump, Spacey...it's not hard to figure out!

This is what has silenced women for years. "Shhh. There, there don't make a fuss, there's a good girl". Ffs.

All that crap? That’s an interesting way to describe abuse. 🚩

Exactly. Pipe down women. You've made a fuss, now shut up again.

Many women must have known amd said nothing too.

Why not drag their names out too?

Mumsnet has gone to mad extremes tonight and its in danger of muddying the waters in regards to the actual perpetrators

Um you do know that there are plenty of photos out there of Piers Morgan with Andrew Tate/ Donald Trump/ Nigel farge .. so it's hardly riding when the evidence is right there

LumberPainJackie · 11/11/2026 00:18

I feel the poster might not think those are predatory men. Which is why so many of them want us to shut up now...these are men they like and admire! Which kind of goes back to my point about birds of a feather.

I never said it wasn't women too. Just mainly men. It usually is. Not always. But usually.

Because women are not the problem. Because young women working in TV during RB's heyday had a really, really hard time navigating this stuff. It was absolutely toxic. Why do you need women to share the blame?

sittingonabeach · 11/11/2026 00:23

How many time were women listened to when they raised concerns?

Many women did know. They had a system for dealing with him at his publishers. But knowing, and trying to protect young women at their place of work, are different than publicly naming and shaming - which would result in him sueing them for defamation, etc. Now the open secret is public knowledge.
