Just read this.

What utter hypocrisy from him and his endless criticism of Huw Edwards and knocking BBC continually.

He harrasses people all the time. Karma has caught up with him. What a disgusting man he is.

Why isn't this being reported? He used to be on the ITV breakfast show.

(And for anyone knocking Byline Times, they will have run this past legal experts to be able to write this article. )

"GB News presenter Dan Wootton used multiple fake identities to trick and bribe scores of men into revealing compromising sexual material.

The victims included members of the public, his own colleagues and a senior executive at News UK"

And hang on a minute... what about this? It was only yesterday...

You couldn't make it up

I mean it took that newspaper 3 years of investigative work before they published this story. There is a lot more to come I'd imagine.

The UK is run by the right wing press. No word from Sarah Vine or Isabelle Oakshott or Julia Hartley Brewer or Tory boy Pierce. Just a loud silence.

I've been waiting for this story to break and I'm delighted that it has. He is an awful creature.

SallyWD · 18/07/2023 14:55

There was a guy on Twitter last week saying Dan Wootten had drugged and raped him! Shocking. I have no idea if it's true. He said he reported it to the police a couple of years ago.

Roussette · 18/07/2023 15:02

The allegations are horrendous. Blackmail, catfishing, targeting young colleagues,
For ten whole years posing as a fictitious showbusiness agent to target six Sun workers (his colleagues) a senior News UK exec, and users of dating apps.

Do none of you believe in innocent until proven guilty.

He has caused so much unhappiness and so.much distress to so many. The much quoted and repeated 'authority' finally being outed. His fantasies still being repeated on the royal family board ad nauseum.

Have you read the article? Do you think he hasn't done anything at all?

He spends day in day out criticising others in the most inhumane ways possible. Now we learn that perhaps he has been undertaking catfishing and blackmail. It's hardly going to be a case of never mind. He hounded Caroline Flack mercilessly.

Totally.

I think the 'Palace' better distance themselves sharpish

The favourite to become the Conservative Party's London mayoral candidate Suzie Hall has now deleted this tweet

Good grief. I bet she has.

Byline times are a trusted, independent news agency. Fighting against a corrupt media. There is no way at all they'd publish without having hard evidence.

LookItsMeAgain · 18/07/2023 15:35

@DuncinToffee - I guess he might be, but perhaps not in the way that Suzie Hall was imagining when she posted that Tweet which has been deleted...perhaps he's the story and not the broadcaster of the story if you see what I mean 😆

Yes, his ex that was.

Journalists have taken 3 years to investigate his dealings.

Three years.

Not three minutes, or 30 seconds to jump to a conclusion. Three long years of investigative journalism.

Yes, I do. I don't know wtf the "Byline Times" is. There's no evidence in that piece at all - just he said, she said.

MouseMinge · 18/07/2023 15:37

Well, Karma's a bitch and this has made a day that is already pretty damn good a tiny bit better. Couldn't happen to a "nicer" man.

booktokbear · 18/07/2023 15:37

Funnily this is what Dan wrote when Phillip Schofield was being investigated. Such hypocrisy.

This has been chitchat on media circles for weeks. Much more to come! The Canceller is about to be cancelled.

He was pretty vile even without this, to be honest.
