Just seen on Instagram that PS is stepping down with immediate effect from This morning!
I mean, I'm not that bothered but there's been lots of speculation recently re his brother's conviction and the rumoured spat with Holly but I thought it would probably all blow over.
I'm sure he's got a bob or two is loaded but I'm still a bit surprised if I'm honest.

I highly doubt that she was sleeping with him when he was 15.

If Phillips behaviour is so A Ok, why has he been thrown out of ITV with nobody supporting him? That never happened to Cheryl.

The capacity for whattaboutery and deflecting blame onto the nearest woman never fails to amaze me.

DM now saying "sources" have said the young production assistant was never asked about the rumours of a relationship with PS.

BonesBrennanz · 28/05/2023 23:29

@Freefall212 I didn’t say he did groom him, but the previous posters were saying as long as the relationship didn’t start till after he was of age then it was fine. I was explaining why that might not be the case.

@Justmuddlingalong Jesus what are ITV trying to do Dig themselves an even bigger hole.

Cheryl and Liam are completely different.

Cheryl didn't take responsibility for getting Liam into the tv industry and have a personal interest in him from a young age.
Yes they met when he was a teenager and she was a tv judge, but there was no inappropriate behaviour.

There were other relationships, marriage, and a lot of time between their first meeting and becoming romantically linked and by that point it was a perfectly acceptable age difference and no power imbalance. If anything, Liam was the more powerful and famous one due to 1D.

The DM seems to be quietening down apart from the main sponsor leaving. Can't imagine any celebs will want to be on the show.

BonesBrennanz · 29/05/2023 09:33

Well BBC breakfast news have just talked about this. They stated that PS had had a relationship with a runner on the show whom he had known since he was 10. I don’t think the BBC would say this unless it were fact…

OneFrenchEgg · 29/05/2023 09:41

And PS has issued a statement on Insta stories - basically saying it's the same people moaning and TM was ace and lovely.

Who is ever going to believe a word PS says? He’s admitted he’s a liar.

LizzieSiddal · 29/05/2023 09:58

PS ”In all the years I worked there, there was no toxicity”

Is he for real?!

We all know now he was grooming a young person he’d met when he was 10, he was lying to every single person he worked with, complaints about PS behaviour were not being listened to, people were getting sacked when they raised concerns about said grooming.
And non of that was toxic, was it Philip? What a piece of work that man is.

WeAreTheHeroes · 29/05/2023 09:58

I don't even think it's about him being a known liar, if he's at the top of the chain and the cause of the toxicity does he even have the self-awareness to realise? If you're surrounded by sycophants do you know?

Enfys1982 · 29/05/2023 10:04

Why does he keep on releasing these statements?! Does he not realise he’s ruined and will never work on TV again, is a proven liar and no one wants to see or hear from him again? Why can’t he take the hint and go away? Someone needs to shut down his social media for good.

Also important to note that power struggles in gay grooming cases are skewed further because of how vulnerable a child is when dealing with stuff to do with their sexuality.

Wow, that was an awkward start to the show. Before discussing today's top stories, Dermot acknowledged they were in the news, but they're carrying on and Giles said it was a happy place to work. Dermot took a deep breath in and everyone looked incredibly awkward.

The wheels are well and truly coming off.

True, he’s admitted lying to everyone and having an “unwise (was that the word?) but not illegal” relationship, he knows people complained about his behaviour and he lied again, and he STILL does not understand that HIS behaviour was creating a toxic environment. Its just not normal behaviour.

WeAreTheHeroes · 29/05/2023 10:40

DP has pointed out he's had to go because he lied to his employers when they investigated allegations about his inappropriate relationship. Gross misconduct.

Exactly but that's the mark of a narcissist. DARVO

This. If he had a good friend they’d be telling him to STFU and lie low for a while.

BordoisAgain · 29/05/2023 10:51

So where are we now, line 4 of the narcissists prayer?

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

RocketIceLollie · 29/05/2023 11:47

The shit hasn't even hit the fan yet. Just wait till the runner sells his story and tells all. Schofield knows this is coming aswell.

Startyabastard · 29/05/2023 12:04

👉This broadcast is very telling.
It's stating that there was suspicion and it was investigated by itv and both individuals were asked but both denied it.
I haven't seen anywhere else where a formal investigation is mentioned years ago.
Sorry for it being a Facebook link, its just what was 'recommended' to me and I stumbled across it. Confused

I really wish Dr Ranj had waited a couple of weeks before posting his toxic Instagram post. Now the toxic story is at the forefront and not PS grooming.

Took out my swear word in my first sentence but you get the drift.

Yes exactly! Fits the bill.
