Gregg Wallace responds with “A handful of comments from middle class women of a certain age”

[Conniebygaslight]

Just heard his comments on the news….unbelievable.

Or drop in clips of Jim Howick doing Historical Masterchef

Don’t worry he’s getting totally crucified for it! Everyone is taking the piss out of him on social media. To be honest, it’s exactly the kind of response you’d expect from someone like him - not taking any responsibility and playing the victim - just like Schofield and Russell Brand and Randy Andy and all the tedious misogynist narcissistic twats before him. Hopefully that comment is going to be the nail in his coffin.

Maybe he could use all his newly found spare time to parent his son for once.

dh comment on it-it's a very strange way to submit your resignation 😂

Absolutely spot on, very well put.

Best summery so far !

Hoping they don’t take the last few episodes of Masterchef off the TV this week. I’ll be well and truly pissed off. On radio 4 today people saying the BBC should not show the remaining episodes because it might be triggering to his victims, which is madness. Obviously his victims are not going to be watching it - just like they haven’t been watching it for the months/ years since they’ve experienced innuendos and inappropriate behaviour.

I wonder if his gym is still going to open half an hour early for him

HAHAHAHA is he banned from harvester?

They've said they're going to show them

Omg that’s hilarious. I was going to say it sounds like it was written by Alan Partridge but I see Caitlin Moran got there before me! So he spends all afternoon at home but chooses to spend more time playing computer games on his own than being with his son? And all that stuff about “manifesting” and his “guru” just screams “deluded narcissist goes woo-woo spiritualist and thinks he isn’t a narcissist any more” (see Russell Brand for full details).

They could put in benny hill as a body double.

I’ve always had the feeling that GW doesn’t know when to stop talking, his idea of a joke is way beyond what most people would say, male or female.

Until they don’t. Never underestimate media power. Been on loads of media outlets today with people demanding they not be shown, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they do replace it with replays of some random drama series.

I had to read your comment twice in case I’d misunderstood… Does he literally get his dick out at work? If so that’s not just disgusting, it’s a criminal offence.

It's his Instagram stories

It's just an expression!

It must be because he’s so fit. The producer must have been female and said she’d give him a job if she could see his six pack and penis. 🤣🤣

Please tell me his 38 year old wife has fucked off and left him...

i am not sure that it is, in the PP’s case - given one of the complaints about Gregg is the RHCP re enactment with a willy sock.

Thank god for that! I also use the expression “willy-waving” to mean a man throwing his weight around but given that (Gr)egg apparently waved his around in a sock made me think you might just mean it literally.

Thanks for sharing. But argh! Yet another commentator diagnosing that GW didn’t keep up with cultural shifts in a post Me Too world. As I keep saying, those cultural shifts happened decades ago.

The first industrial tribunal case on sexual harassment in the workplace (behaviour at a work party) was in 1983. And the first court ruling (lewd comments and nude photos in a school lab) was in 1986. Both LONG before GW started his broadcasting career in the early 2000s.

He’s a similar age to me and everyone knew sexual harassment at work was unlawful in the late 1980s. He knew! He was just allowed to get away with it, which may have been part of the thrill.

Or calling them lesbians - the classic cry of the rejected tosspot!

They often do when it's too late, and given the roll call of sex offenders the BBC has employed as presenters - and this is just the publicly known ones - it can surely only be that they're bendable to government will which keeps them being funded by the taxpayer

How many more? More to the point how many more are known, but kept in place because they make the BBC a great deal of money?
We'll probably never know ...

Yes I'm similar vintage and equally sick of hearing "its his age" and "its his class". Both are just making excuses.

The men in my WC childhood community would not have considered this acceptable behaviour toward women, even if some tolerated it in the "locker room". I do remember more than one man advising his daughter to be careful of the "posh boys" who couldn't be trusted to behave!
