There we go Schofield has admitted ‘affair’

[muppetmayhem]

Front page of the daily mail for my sins.

Yikes...

He was actually ten. But whatever. I get they have to be careful.

Not exactly 'news'!

So we can officially call him a filthy article.

He disowned his brother, will be accept everyone disown him?

Dirty old man - they called them when he was younger.

Fifteen? Try 10.

This story is going to get much bigger. He's behaved like a pedo groomer.
As usual, there must have been plenty of people who knew what was going on and turned a blind eye. It's all going to kick off. Horrible man.

For the umpteenth time, he is 15 in that picture. Not that a group picture of a visit to a theatre means much about anything. People need to stop wanting a 10 year old boy to have been abused so they can throw more rocks at Philip.

This is MMs story to tell, not some fictional event where everyone on the internet gets to make up their own version and want it to be as salacious as possible. There is a real young man who has to live with all these crazy assumptions being made about him and his life.

The story is on the website now

I dislike phil and obviously Think he groomed the lad. I think there’s more dirt to come too.

chatting with friends earlier and a mate said, how is this different to Cheryl and Liam? I guess I found it hard to answer. Phil was in a position of power so there’s that. The way he disposed of the boy when he was done. And the cheating on his wife etc.

it’s interesting that some people can see the other side of the story… I just can’t myself.

Spot on @Freefall212 (not that I think anyone will stop to think before posting)

The ony new information in the DM article is that Phil came clean because MM went to 'his' lawyers and told all (not sure whose lawyers 'his' is). I wonder what prompted MM to talk to lawyers now.

And that the incident at the 2020 awards ceremony was that MM publicly declared his love for Phil in front of Phil's friends and Phil got mad. That disclosure was what triggered the ITV investigation during which MM denied it.
Also likely why he then came out about that time. Something was said publicly and MM was beartbroken and probably hard to predict.

Sleep?

Must admit the whole Cheryl thing passed me by - I had no idea how much younger the father of her son is.
So I had a look and it seems he was on X Factor when he was 16/17 and she was one of judges.

Im not saying it’s good and I could be wrong about the age/timeline - and happy to be corrected if so - but it’s not quite the same as grooming someone from age 11. It’s still pretty morally suspect though - I’m not defending it.

How old was he when they started a relationship?

Liam was 14 when he auditioned. There’s a 10 year age gap

Ah ok. I don’t watch it so wasn’t aware he’d auditioned previously before One Direction.

Cheryl never hid her relationship, she never got him the job and she didn't groom him.

You are reaching here, very far. How much is Phil paying you for your speakers corner tactics?

If you want another reaching rumour, their was speculation online for years about Cheryl being more into women than men.
Hence all her relationships not working and her hiding under a rock.

@Whatt read my post. Not my opinion. I think Phil is evil.

but a friend playing devils advocate had the comment about Cheryl.

I can't believe the amount of people that are suddenly reading the Daily Mail.

The problem with that blurred photo is that is that he looks older than 18.
What I thought was odd after after he came out in 2020, There was no pictures dating history for months and months if not a couple of years, it seemed kind of strange I know it was during covid but it seemed very odd that he was never pictured with a man younger older. It didn' ring true to me At the time.
How sick that a 60 Yr old preferred type was 18 or younger.

PS too insecure to date a man in his late 30s / 40s let alone 50s 60s.

As soon as he came out as gay, there was loads of info and proof that he’d been cheating on his wife on Twitter. Further proof showed that he’d been cheating on his wife with this young guy that he’d actually groomed. I have no clue why it’s all coming out in the media now though

I could be wrong but I get the feeling the media - particularly the DM - been chomping to break this story gif years but because of legalities haven’t been able to.

It does seem his brothers trial has caused a shift and maybe someone now got a story to tell.

There’s definitely more to come though and this story isn’t going away any time soon

How did twitter know?
Perhaps his wife is gay too.
