Dan Wootton trending on Twitter...

[LookItsMeAgain]

I was wondering why this name has been popping up on my "Trending for you"on Twitter over the past while

Wow is all I can say.

Just wow!

I thought there was only one tape that his ex found, which DW paid £500 to one of the participants to make , the other person didn't know they were being filmed.

Some people attract "Dark Forces" because of their own behaviour, Mr Wotton. Surprised you don't know that.

I stand corrected, just read the report. It doesn't say people actually sent the photos just that DW offered them money to do so. Although if they were junior members of staff maybe they did, as he was offering substantial amounts of cash.
Hopefully more information will be released soon, serves him right , he's vile .

The ‘dark force’ is complaining about dark forces? 😂

He can get bent. You reap what you sow and all that. Whilst I have no doubt this has the potential to disappear, his ‘team’ might just cut him loose if they can’t manage to stomp it out.

It might be a pipe dream, but I hope this has the potential to put this particular network of arseholes back in their box.

I too don’t understand why it would be illegal to offer money to send a video of you having sex. I mean it’s sick and grubby but surely not illegal. Was he maybe putting pressure on them in some way?

I did watch his 8 minute speech and thought he was doing a Philip Schofield, denying everything and blaming everyone else. And thought it was true to form for the nasty misogynist that the only person he mentioned by name was a woman- Carole Vordoman.

Tricked as in catfished - Dan pretending to be a woman chatting up a guy, sending false female photos in exchange for the person he is talking to sending their own nude pics.

legality doesn’t matter to the likes of DW. He knows that he can whip up a storm of public morality that can kill even the sturdiest of careers.

I listened to his monologue. 🤮🤮

What a hypocrite, talking about news, twitter, SM being a cesspit.... well, he's been in that cesspit tweeting out, spewing out bile incessantly. And saying.. I've made some mistakes, an understatement, unbelievable.

He's going to try and be a better person? I'm waiting...
Errors of judgement? Yep, we're now hearing about them.

Here's what he put out about Schofield... you couldn't make it up

I think the sex tape in question, the one that his ex found, was made without one of the participants knowledge, which I think is illegal.

Byline Times have said they are releasing more information this afternoon.

It's looking like if nothing criminal can be proved he's going to sweat it out with a mea culpa and the backing of his employers. Let's remind ourselves that HE did less and didn't commit any criminal offence according to the police - the big difference here is the BBC and the fact that he was a national treasure DW is a national disgrace and in a crowded field probably the vilest man ever to work for the UK media !

Until tonight I had only ever heard of DW. I've just watched 5 minutes of his statement in that GB news clip. My almost immediate sense was that he's lying, and crapping himself, and desperately blaming social media, trolls, his ex, etc in the hopes that the gullible masses will believe him.

I found it more credible that I expected. That's not to say it was true but he managed to sow a few seeds of doubt about events.

I love how one of his alleged catfish personas was Martin Branning - a portmanteau of Martin Fowler and Max Branning from Eastenders! 😂

As snakes crossed with a scorpion go he is certainly one of the most polished bastard children of Satan out there. Tactically from his point of view it was a masterful, come out all guns blazing with a touch of fake humility performance. Byline Times have put their arm into a hornet's nest I just pray they have enough legally, or it will be the end of them if not.

@grass321 of course he sowed doubts, that was his aim. Remember Philip Schofield absolutely denied he’d had a relationship with that young man for years, to his lawyers, management, family, bosses, work colleagues and the public.

I don’t like saying no smoke without fire without fire but with this individual who had no problems bullying Caroline Flack, Meghan Markle and many others, I think he was down right lying last night.

Vera99 agreed. A better PR move than the infamous Pizza Express interview.

The Sun and the DM are investigating now, as they employed Wootton:

I would hope that they’re fully aware of this and have rock solid evidence. They could do with backing from a publication like Private Eye - I haven’t kept up to date enough with it lately but I’ll be interested to see their comment on it.

Popbitch have been writing about Wootton. They've been sued enough times to be very clear on what they can and can't do, so they wouldn't name him unless they were sure.

I think Private Eye has also previously mentioned Wootton.

It was a total performance for very gullible people. Dark forces indeed. You would have to be simple to believe it

I’m so happy for Lilly! I wasn’t a huge fan of her music back in the day and didn’t follow her in the tabloids, but was aware of her drunken, loud-mouth persona (which was really a caricature).

Recently saw her in a stage play and she was great! Love that she’s come through to the other side and seems happy and successful. Many of Dan’s victims weren’t so lucky.

Am I the only person who doesn't know who he is?

You'll have seen his writing - or the results of it. Journalist who used to do, amongst other things, showbiz news at the Sun. Now writes for the Mail.

Dw has shot himself in the foot with his little display last night. It's all in the mainstream now. Nice one, Dan.

I love LA she can provide the song to dance on his grave party which these 'dark forces' aka karma rebounding back is unleashing.
