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.

😂😂😂
(Sorry, quote fail in previous post)

Why would that bother him? The younger model is a thing, is it not? Personally I think he should have kept his counsel, but that does not seem to be the thing to do anymore.

'Middle class women' = 'females I'm intimidated by, who are usually awkwardly silenced by faux-jaunty references to my cock, unlike working class women who dutifully roar with laughter like good girls, unless they're frigid or something'.

'Of a certain age' = 'women I consider too old to fuck, which is, by the way, the ultimate burn'

We can only hope he gets permanently cancelled

20 years too late but better late than never

always thought he was vile.

BBC have serious questions to answer. I commented on a similar thread I’m really shocked that Kirsty Wark complained about him in 2011- surely she has a fair amount of clout at the bbc? (Not that you need clout to be listened to) and yet here we are 13 years later. He must have both felt he was untouchable and also actually been untouchable.

The fucker! What a lack of insight to his current predicament!
His statement digs his hole deeper.

I met the Twat once
Awful man, I told him not to F ing speak to me like that and yes I am a MC middle aged women. We tend to be the ones who are able to stand up to these Dickheads

I agree. When does humour and innuendo become offensive?

Alison Hammond jumping on the back of Dylan wasn't appropriate

@StressedLP1 - You are a star! I'm howling!

I think I can say categorically for all women not just "women of a certain age and class" like me no one has made any sexual remarks or innuendos to you or about you Greg double g. He has now alienated the main audience for that show. He is shitting himself because he's up against these powerful, successful women. I bet he's hocked up as well.

If i had to guess I would say around 3 or less

Tbf I do look like Rod Stewart before I’ve put my make up on and done my hair!

My mums best friend was HR at one of the factories features, similar complaints and staff refusing to be in the same area as him in day 2 of filming.

I’m afraid so.

Not if s/he charges triple time on a Sunday.

did he cancelled from the factory programme? there were allegations from that werent there?

When does it become offensive?

When people feel it's targeted at them personally ? When people feel it's being used to intimidate?

Comedy is difficult but think how different it feels when a comedian takes the piss out of themselves as opposed to other people

Honestly he’s such a twat. I showed my son that video of the contestant with the lemon tart (who is also asd)and aged 25, likes a dark and good joke, also a parent and he was shocked. His words bloody hell mum that man really hates women doesn’t he, what a bell end 😂.

thank God Greg (minus the extra g lolz) doesn’t speak for every man.

his career definitely gone down the shitter!

Wow, heard him on the news this morning when I woke up.
Doubling down and looking to be a 'hero' for misogynists who hate women, especially women who know their worth and won't be silenced about it.

I've never liked him or his arrogance. This just confirms what I sensed about him.

Can you explain? Are you suggesting that GW is not offensive?

As the mother of young adults, the minute this type of creep is eradicated/cancelled the better.

Even more so when they are funded by the taxpayer in a public funded institution that has lost its grip on reality.

Middle class middle aged women are probably the most confident at calling him out.

In my current job I work for a sexist penis who loves a willy wave. He is the CEO, so the best thing I can do is find another job.

Sexism is real and most of the time women put up with it because of the power imbalance. But, the behaviour that is bring attributed to Greg Wallace has never been acceptable.

Not at any point of the 20 years I have been in the workplace.

I really don't understand how the casting for these shows works. Greg was never in industry, has no charm or insight or or ability to connect with people - so why was he the first choice for the factory programme? And Masterchef- why, why, why? John and Marcus and Monica all seemed to do fine on the days he wasn't there - and I can think of ten presenters who would do the job better.. so why, year after year?
And there have been loads of complaints - and yet???? There's something wrong at a much deeper level than just one twat.

When you're in a hole numbnuts, stop digging 😂

Ggood Ggrief.

Yes, but by the looks of things he was told that people found it uncomfortable, warned him and he still carried on.
I think in normal workplaces off-colour jokes/misplaced humour shouldn't be instant grounds for dismissal. Different places have different ideas of what is appropriate and some people will always misjudge the boundary (I had a really apologetic email from someone once over a comment they made I didn't think was a big deal but which they later regretted). A normal, decent human reaction to being told that you have unintentionally been making large numbers of people upset/uncomfortable with your sexual bants is to stop the sexual bants. Not to keep doing it - that kind of suggests making others uncomfortable is part of the point. Witch hunts do happen sometimes. I don't think this is one of those times.

I think he comes across as having a very bullying. entitled personality.

He’s utterly deluded. Yes intelligent women who are old enough and confident enough not to tolerate any shit will call you out on your unacceptable behaviour.
