Shocking. Didn’t he get any advice before putting out a statement like that?

Anyway Charlotte Crosby has spoken out and she is not middle aged or middle class.

Grrrpredictivetex · 01/12/2024 09:36

Isn't he on wife number 4? This latest one 21 years younger. Maybe he's upset women of a certain (his) age just don't find him attractive.

Prince Andrew: I’ve just done a great piece to camera

Gregg Wallace: hold my drink

NooNakedJacuzziness · 01/12/2024 09:37

Has he denied the cock in the sock business? He might be able to get away with "it was only bantz maaaaate, they can't take a joke" as regards his comments but no one presumably asked to see him strutting around like a bad Red Hot Chilli Pepper tribute

NonPlayerCharacter · 01/12/2024 09:37

This is how misogynistic stereotypes perpetuate. Stupid narcissistic man does something stupid and narcissistic, is too stupid and narcissistic to realise he's being stupid and narcissistic, doubles down on his stupidity and narcissism and then projects his stupidity and narcissism on to women and declares them stupid and narcissistic. Other stupid narcissistic men join in and voila...

I am not trying to defend Greg but I have worked in work places where there is a lot of sexualized banter from both sexes which seems to be just cultural really. I found it a bit unpleasant but there was no changing it. Maybe Greg is in a misguided fashion thing to make this a class thing? He might say on certain jobs there is an entrenched culture of innuendo just being part of the banter (I think Any and Dec are being brought up on this).

I think the dig was aimed at Kirsty who he probably viewed as straight laced and humourless and she thought him a bit of a dick. I find it strange that he seems to have no concept of boundaries though and maybe he can't take verbal or non verbal cues that he is crossing a line?

Looks like he's already deleted that insta post? I can't see it... Said lawyer's smashed avocado lying untouched while he frantically tries to undo the damage. To quote Maya Angelou, when someone tells you who they are, believe them!

It wasn't a post it was on his insta story, I can still see it unless it's because I already watched it earlier.

mids2019 · 01/12/2024 09:39

Sorry for the typos

SilverBlueRabbit · 01/12/2024 09:39

I heard that too and confess I just burst out laughing.... talk about proving the point of the people who have made complaints!

He also tried to blame his 'autism' which outraged me. In fact I can't even type what I think other than suffice to say he clearly an incredibly unpleasant and deeply stupid man.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 01/12/2024 09:40

Just read this and thought he may as well have signed a confession in blood - what a colossal twat. But we knew that anyway.

I knew people at one of his factory visits for his stupid shouty TV program, and after he left there was uproar at the awful, sexual way he'd spoken to staff every time the filming stopped. It was rightly pointed out to management that if he'd been a member of staff he'd have been sacked, but instead they all just stood there gurning at him while women were made to feel incredibly uncomfortable.

NotbloodyGivingupYet · 01/12/2024 09:40

Paddy O'Connell on radio 4 just now, tried to turn a discussion on Greggggg into a discussion on prevalence of middle class at the BBC. Fortunately the women in the discussion fairly quickly turned it back.

FlabbergastedByTheGorgons · 01/12/2024 09:42

God he is odious

Redfox · 01/12/2024 09:42

Who are women of a certain age anyway??
What does that even mean?

He can fuck right off.

Has he no friends/ wife to ban him using social media.

WillowTit · 01/12/2024 09:42

well done those women

Did Greg James mention him at all on Friday?

The "fire them up, let's go!" was finally removed on Friday. He's had rumours swirling for so long I'm surprised it wasn't already dropped.

therewasafishinthepercolator · 01/12/2024 09:43

Oh, GregG. WowW.

Good luck lawyers. Good luck.

FaceLikeACrackedScreen · 01/12/2024 09:45

He is a vile, arrogant and inappropriate man. This has been a long time coming.

DanceTheDevilBackIntoHisHole · 01/12/2024 09:47

It's amazing he felt able to do that insta post considering the Observer is reporting that he'd already had a formal warning from HR at the BBC for this behaviour. It's on record! But he's acting like it's all a big surprise.

WillowTit · 01/12/2024 09:47

handful,
that is 13, who felt able to complain, financially in a position to complain

BlueBrush · 01/12/2024 09:47

Rather proves the point that he's a misogynistic twat, doesn't it?

Yup. He needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut!

I know someone at a different factory where the employer filed an official complaint against him with the BBC. The BBC 'investigated' and said that everything was fine. I hope they go back and say "do you want another go an investigating this'

comfyslippets · 01/12/2024 09:48

Bloke's a fuckin idiot. It's actually made me so angry!
