Phillip Schofield reportedly DID pay ex lover

77 replies

Twonewcats · 18/02/2024 14:55

Some of the tabloids today are reporting that an NDA was signed, and his ex was paid 6 figures for doing so.
Given that we already allegedly know everything, seems odd to gag him, so to speak...

Were you reading the DM as the article I read said it would be 'cataclysmic' if the young man spoke up. I suppose we don't really know everything, what actually happened between them is purely conjecture.

YeahBrackie · 18/02/2024 15:12

Yep and he swore blind in that interview that there was no NDA/ payoff. Don't believe a single word he says. All confirmed on tattle a couple of years ago so not in the least but surprised.

rosesareorange · 18/02/2024 15:13

yeah, I wondered what the cataclysmic reference meant.

Yep.

I personally think there's enough evidence of grooming at the very least.
But interesting that PS denied any NDA or payment being made.

Maybe it's happened since that interview, both things could be true

Like when Rolf H was exposed - my own mum said "oh, surely not him - he's a sweet man" 😒

@FrancisSeaton wow ageist and misogynist in one fell swoop “HRT brigade”. Remember that when you hit your 50s.

On the topic - the guy is a lying weasel. None of it surprises me. He’s disgusting.

TheSnowyOwl · 18/02/2024 15:17

Perhaps the NDA and payoff was after the interview.

People can know everything but once they hear the other side’s emotional take on it, the viewpoint can change.

What a shameful, and unfactual, post.

GatoradeMeBitch · 18/02/2024 15:39

He's so vile. Especially for making the decision to be Ever So Brave and come out, when it was just a strategic move to shut the young man up. Also for shuffling his old Mum outside to a bench so paps could get photos of her for the Poor Phil stories.

Twonewcats · 18/02/2024 15:44

Poor Phil indeed.
Disgusted at the coverage of it. Anyone who knows for sure and are keeping quiet are vile individuals

It was clear at the time why this man wouldn’t speak out or at least it was obvious to me

This story was done to death and I condemned him myself at the time. I don’t see the need to publicly torture someone though

Nice bit of internalised misogyny there. I'd recommend picking up a copy of Hags by Victoria Smith.

As an aside, I have not come across any women of HRT age (including me) who have said so much as a word in defence of Phillip Schofield. The only people I've seen trying to mount a defence on his behalf have been men.

Yep, altho I wouldn't be surprised if the press know a lot more and are publicly torturing him because of what they heard. Not saying that's right, but it's certainly a factor.

Wtf, I am 40 and am on HRT. What does your comment even mean?

Even with my HRT addled brain I have always disliked and mistreated him.

BoulderOpal · 18/02/2024 16:08

Mistrusted… off to top up

I'm giggling at this, as I didn't even notice the HRT brigade comment!
Not sure what it means either

cerisepanther73 · 18/02/2024 16:13

Oh what a susprise that is not

Allways thought he was over rated even as far back as in the 80s..

It's hardly news
Just confirms what we strongly 💪 suspected,

It was a case of smokes and mirrors 🪞 to deflect deflect to the hilt as much as possibly

As if we were all born last week...

Aquarius1234 · 18/02/2024 16:15

Not surprised typical arrogant celeb with money using NDA. Out of order.

Aquarius1234 · 18/02/2024 16:16

Any guesses how much he paid him ??

ConstitutionHill · 18/02/2024 16:24

@FrancisSeaton so all older women are gullible fools who would defend terrible behaviour just because it's from some seemingly nice bloke? Bit of a generalisation there, bit of a reach eh?

That's a really thick comment.
