Jeremy Vine is threatening to sue

[gemstoneju]

Just read on Twitter that Jeremy Vine has screenshotted a tweet accusing him of 'underage sex' and is threatening to sue the poster.

I know MN keeps taking these threads down, quite sensibly, but do be careful of naming anyone on SM in relation to these allegations, it wasn't even a tweeter with a particularly large following. I don't want to link to it.

Personally, I’d do exactly the same! Mud sticks….

He's spoken out. As one of the replies says, was probably waiting till his potential libel winnings hit a high target.

Just to say I'm very much looking forward to hosting my radio show on Monday — whoever the “BBC Presenter” in the news is, I have the same message for you as Rylan did earlier: it certainly ain't me.

Poor man. I hate online fuckers who think they know all but are just thick as shit. I hope he sues everyone

Good for him. On an earlier thread someone just kept repeating it was him. Not saying his name of course but it was obvious who she was talking about

I don't blame him. Shocking that people will carelessly throw names around with zero evidence

Is it always possible to trace twitter users?
I don’t blame Jeremy Vine in the least for wanting to clear his name, but if the tweeter lives abroad or is tech savvy, can they be found?

I hope Katie Hopkins is shitting herself

I hope he does sue them to be honest. There's a poster on one of the other threads saying his name with certainty when they clearly know fuck all.

I hope he sues too.

It’s horrible that people are chucking names out there, when they don’t have a clue. I listened to JV for years and really enjoyed his show, unfortunately I can’t listen to his show now (open plan office). There are a lot of creepy TV presenters but I have never got pervy/creepy vibes for Jeremy at all.

Good for him.

It's silly to speculate. This could be anyone.

He's an obnoxious twat but he's right about this. I'd love to know who it is but people posting random names with no evidence is ridiculous.

I don't understand why the bbc don't just name the person concerned and stop all of the speculation.

Looks like we're in for just days of indignant rebuttals and the men who don't speak out will look like suspects. People shouldn't have to do this.

They've just announced it on the news and had quite a segment about it. I find it incredible. Theres no police investigation, theres not a lot of communication from the family to the BBC by the sounds of it

Seems to me they're trying to fall over themselves to show they're doing 'the right thing' to the extent that its become a farce.

Either someones done something wrong and they need to be sacked or disciplined (or police intervention) and there is evidence of that, or there isnt and stop all the hand wringing.

Me too!

And I don't blame JV at all for threatening to sue!

It must be difficult its only an allegation. At present and the person could be entirely innocent ,but the situation is going to.get ridiculous

I said on the earlier thread that was deleted that posters should not be throwing names around. One poster seemed to think as long as you know it’s not you then it’s ok to name random names. 🙄

Why would she be? Genuine question

Well considering This Morning is on ITV I’d say it’s pretty much guaranteed to be unrelated

No they cant name the person

If at your work, someone made an allegation about you, but there was no evidence of it and so your employer wasnt going to take any action, do you think that your colleagues and other departments (or the wider public) should be made aware of that allegation?

If evidence is gathered and found, fair enough, do whats needed with that, go to the police or sack the person or whatever. But at this stage when someones made a complaint about the person, they shouldnt have even announced it

But then of course you get people talking about a 'cover up'.

Name them based on what? A second hand allegation? Last I heard the family in question weren't talking directly to them and hadn't gone to the police.

Same.

My arms are strong 💪 I defend my right to free speech.

Although I do need to pointlessly rock up to my next AA meeting - they know I'm good.
