I don't want that one.

Wow! It’s always the ones you most suspect.

Sorry, it’s a serious subject but that made me chuckle!

So simple, so true!

Don't worry, showbiz will come to his aid (or feign shock)

OhTheCowsInTheMeadowGoMoo · 10/11/2026 13:16

Really uncomfortable reading. Some of these accounts. Just - jeez

'Quelle surprisé' indeed! At least I don't have to read any more 'Little Britain' jokes/lines from people giving the 'nudge nudge wink wink'!

Another one. Who next!

Crikey! That joke from the 2006 Comedy Awards! 😳

Jonathan Ross seems to feature a lot in these men’s lives…. Just saying

Damnloginpopup · 10/11/2026 13:35

Let's see if he's an honourable man, a man of his word and now does what he said he would 🤔

Eyesopenwideawake · 10/11/2026 13:38

Oh well, nice cell mate for Russell Brand. I'm sure he'll be made to feel welcome.

course he won’t

I found the lunchtime news profoundly depressing - Russell Brand, David Williams and the abuse at Edinburgh Academy.

WTF is wrong with them all ? Sick bastard losers every one of them.😡

*Walliams

Nofeckingway · 10/11/2026 14:11

Fuck . Are there any normal men in show business anymore ? It's so disheartening to realize that performers you did like - Little Britain was hugely popular for a reason - are just these disgusting individuals. Walliams even received an OBE for charity . Remember his impressive swim ? And now we all have revaluate ourselves . The general public can't possibly know details which is why those at BBC who knew should be held accountable.

Exactly. In fact he was the first one (rather than Brand) to very enthusiastically say "he fucked your granddaughter" on the Sachsgate tape.

I noticed just how many of the Russell Brand clips shown all over the news in the past week he has featured in.
Haven't found him funny since 'The Last Resort' in the mid '80's
The YouTube' onlyfans' discussion clip is mortifying.

That whole thing was so utterly despicable, even by the standards of the time. Cheap, mean, slut-shaming and kicking down. Not even any pretence at humour. I've never been able to buy the "jolly old funtime Wossy" persona since. He's a cunt.

MadameEtourdie · 10/11/2026 15:19

May I respectfully be “that person”- and whisper there is no accent required?
Quelle surprise!

RipplePlease6 · 10/11/2026 15:36

Jonathan Ross, another scummy sleazebag.

Lessisbest · 10/11/2026 16:22

I remember him interviewing a female celebrity on his show and saying he'd shag her, but he didn't want to "ruin her for other men".

Now I'm obviously not accusing him of anything at all, except things we know he said because it was broadcast.

I don't believe these types of threads are "witchhunts", like some say. Mostly it's just people remembering incidents/comments they've seen over the years.

Edit: Jonathan Ross I'm talking about.

madaboutpurple · 10/11/2026 16:24

I do think there will be quite a few more and expect none of us will be surprised.

LetMeGoogleThat · 10/11/2026 16:34

I wonder if the entertainment business should have system for men (The fucking talent 🙄) to prove they are not rapey slimeballs, save women having to repeatedly prove that they are. The coverage drives me mad, all the 'Its a power imbalance ' 'The stars have a protection' 'Their fame allowed it' 'we need better systems'

Well, I would rather hear its men! Always bloody men! Never once heard of a female celebrity doing this. I find it helpful to honest in these circumstances.

I always thought so. At best he's a misogynistic and lewd creep. The Sachsgate scandal made me sick to my stomach.
