He’s alluding to the fact that he’s being accused of rape!

OneHornedFlyingPurplePeopleEater · 15/09/2023 23:12

I'm sure I've said this before when there has been similar rumours...

Years ago, shortly after the Jimmy Savile scandal, someone told me of a friend in the business that had told them about Jimmy years before. At the same time they told them about someone else - this other person is going to cause a much bigger upset to the UK public.

I obviously have no idea if it's true. And I really hope it's not. A lot of people would be sickened and devastated. A lot of re-runs would be cancelled. Its someone you'd be hard pushed not to know.

How can the media spend the whole week laying the ground for aliens and then the aliens don't turn up? Angry

We need an AIBU about these flaky aliens agreeing to visit, then at the last minute failing to turn up with some pathetic excuse like 'It's been really full-on in deep space last week and to be honest, I just want a lie in on Sunday."

BBC, just don't bother inviting them again. Time-wasters.

I managed about 60 seconds before I had to turn it off as he was rambling but essentially that there are accusations being levelled against him that are serious and he denies them and that although he was promiscuous his relationships were consensual...... apparently.

Sadly you missed ‘Stay alert… but most importantly Stay Free’

Haven’t seen him for years, still looks like he needs disinfecting.

I am interested in the documentary, wonder who the other 4 are? This isn’t the biggest story of the year though!

I am literally so disappointed that it's RB.

I'm embarrassed for Channel 4. 😂 hardly big news is it. I'm also embarrassed for anyone who worked for 3 years on it.

Jesus...

Anyway, back to real news I guess!

you don't even know what the story is, chump. save your embarrassment until you find out.

TinaTeaspoons · 15/09/2023 23:13

As others have said, surely they would have to be very certain before making these kinds of allegations against him as would be in for a heafty lawsuit. Got to be more to it ?

AliciaLime · 15/09/2023 23:13

I feel a bit sad that he didn’t start with ‘Firstly, how are YOU?’

bellac11 · 15/09/2023 23:13

If someone is alleging that he raped them, they need to go to the police, it shouldnt be trial by dispatches.

CaveMum · 15/09/2023 23:14

Could there be an Epstein-like situation (or even actual connections to Epstein) involved? He died 4 years ago granted but people have been trying to find out just who his clients were ever since.

ItstimeToMoveagain · 15/09/2023 23:14

Yeah, I'm not going to bother watching that

We don’t know that they haven’t. Police don’t / can’t always act, unfortunately.

WimbyAce · 15/09/2023 23:15

I guess it wasn't dispatches who said it was the biggest story of the year I think it only came from the OP.

I'm assuming this is DJ. I think rumours have been circulating for years.

MsLavender · 15/09/2023 23:15

I've never seen any of his Youtube stuff before but the comment section is like a cult! Is he really A List? I thought he'd dropped off the face of the Earth pretty much. Wouldn't consider him someone so dangerously knowledgeable that he'd be worth silencing with a conspiracy theory set up by Dispatches. Weird.

Who was hyping the hell out of something for a reason no doubt

fairydust11 · 15/09/2023 23:16

RB? Seriously?
He’s not even A list anymore.
I highly doubt this’ll be the biggest story of the year…there’s been rumours surrounding him for years so not a huge surprise.

I was honestly expecting something much, much bigger…

justasking111 · 15/09/2023 23:17

Sunday Times owned by Murdoch group who owned news of the world who had dirt on many going back decades.

It'll all be behind a pay wall anyway.

TroglodytesTroglodytes · 15/09/2023 23:17

I hope Jonathan Ross isn’t involved. He would be more of a household name. I think we all knew about RB, obviously not the extent but he gives off very bad vibes. I’ve always liked JR though.

GuinnessBird · 15/09/2023 23:17

Russell Brand? Who the fuck cares about that knob?

Is this someone who has been in several well-loved sitcoms? And, later, a detective drama?

Yeah but who shot him though ?

lanadelgrey · 15/09/2023 23:19

The Sunday Times part will be published early afternoon, apparently. The C4 programme is related. Maybe it’s that Naked Attraction will feature a quartet of Tory MPs

WinterDeWinter · 15/09/2023 23:19

Jesus I hadn’t realised what a populist demagogue he’d turned into. I am smug because I had an argument ten years ago with a friend in which I predicted exactly this. I will email her annoyingly directly.

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 15/09/2023 23:19

Wonder if anyone else got the same letter (s)???
