I've just discovered Jonny Vegas Carry on Glamping. It's my dream to build a glamping site. Jonny is so genuinely in love with the idea and speaks about the vehicles with such affection and respect he has blown me away. I love him. Help me...

Didn't he sexually assault a woman on stage during a show?

Does that help?

ShirleyPhallus · 22/05/2021 19:13

I met him in a pub on a night out once and he was absolutely lovely, he spent ages talking to people and bought a round for a group of us. Was happy to have pictures etc. Seemed like a really nice guy.

Not sure I can get on board with having a crush on him though!

I know nothing about an assault but have been loving the programme OP, highlight of my week atm.

LubaLuca · 22/05/2021 19:18

I had a very fun night out with him about 20 years ago. He's really lovely and modest. I didn't fancy him at all though, just thought he was great company.

Yes, I think there's a guardian article about that, it sounded absolutely horrific. But it seems to have been swept thoroughly under the carpet. Ah, found it - www.theguardian.com/world/2008/may/01/gender.comedy

ASchuylerSister · 22/05/2021 19:26

That article is horrific.

LubaLuca · 22/05/2021 19:28

Oh Christ, that is truly shocking.

AnnunciataZ · 22/05/2021 19:28

Yuck, no thanks. Not into fat blokes and he sounds a complete creep.

Kittykat93 · 22/05/2021 19:38

God I think hes vile. Each to their own I guess..

PaperMonster · 22/05/2021 19:43

He did a lot of good work in his home town during the first lockdown. I contacted his agent hoping to get a signed pic of him as she loves a character he plays, but sadly didn’t get a response.

That’s made me feel ill. Skin crawling. And I don’t like their clarification at the end - there are loads of reasons why the girl might have said that, and besides which it’s not just the individual women that are harmed by male celebrities getting away with doing things like that.

TheQueef · 22/05/2021 20:13

That article.
Another one bites the dust.

NiceGerbil · 22/05/2021 22:39

Fyi it looks like he sued for libel but the internet has nothing more.

If he'd won I'd have thought there'd be pieces about that, an apology from the newspaper, and probably on his wiki to say it's not true.

In the end all the audience who were there saw what happened so...

NiceGerbil · 22/05/2021 22:41

I really warmed to him on taskmaster by the way.

Even knowing that.

But I remind myself. And think yurgh how awful and why is the internet so lacking in info and etc

buckeejit · 22/05/2021 22:59

Ugh, I did like him & the show but that's fucking horrendous.
