India knight still at the Times?

[Greenthomson]

Writing about her idyllic Christmas..I had no idea about her husband, is she still with him?

Who wasn't a paedo

So, in a nutshell, India Knight is happy to tolerate child abuse?

Yep.

I still read the newspaper too but I won’t read a single word she has written ever again.

Absolutely stunning hypocrisy in this Times article (14 Sept 2024) from India about Strictly Come Dancing

She has zero self-awareness. None whatsoever.

This!

They probably had other things on their mind than vetting guests.

I am not subscribed to her substack, has she ever said anything about this - I remember them both promising explanations at the time but these have not been forthcoming as far as I’ve seen? Certainly nothing in the Times who continue to pay her for her other thoughts. Odd and insulting indeed.

I've previously written to TST to complain about her still being employed but didn't get a response.

Omg I did not know her husband was a paedo!? That's fucking sick. Good job I won't pay money to read her then.

Isn't it interesting how low profile she is these days? A decade ago she was one of the 'Twitterati', fawned over by the likes of Caitlin Moran, she had a book out every couple of years, had three columns in The Sunday Times, and was often featured in other media. Now it's the opposite of that. Was it all worth it, I wonder, sticking by Joyce.

There must be something not obvious going on, you would think. She can’t just have chosen him over being able to properly progress and enjoy her career and also over spending time with her youngest child. Perhaps he is suicidal/ abusive/ covering for someone else. Its a sad way for her life to turn out - the way they have tried to brush it under the carpet, she must be constantly afraid of someone mentioning it in both her personal and professional life.

Absolutely nothing from her about it all. She used the ‘never explain, never apologise’ PR approach.

She's not afraid of it, it's not a secret. It was covered extensively in the press at the time and further discussed across social media and continues to be so, on occasion. Perhaps she feels it adds 'interest' to her life? Cooking now? Maybe. I understand she has a country kitchen in which to be photographed so maybe a logical next step for her now her 3 children are grown and live elsewhere.

There will be no explanation. There is nothing acceptable to be said about the situation. If there were, it would have long been sold to the public along with the other 'insights into my lovely life'.

I am sure you’re right @newnamethanks . I hope she is happy really, just every so often the jawdropping hypocrisy of the TST column grates. I do think the launch of “Darling” was pretty subdued and probably not what she wanted for it to avoid attention on Eric, but her most recent book was heavily publicised.

She didn’t do any interviews for her last book in a high profile media outlet, maybe something obscure. In terms of her as a quality brand, she’s over.

I'm staggered she chose to stay with him.

Me too.

According to her 'But, it all happened ages ago' as though there's a fucking statute of limitations on paedophilia.

All I feel for her is utter contempt, tinged with pity. Imagine being so pathetically craven that you will cleave to a convicted paedophile rather than be alone.

Oh yes, I’d forgotten that she did indirectly mention it on Twitter, although she deleted the tweet and many more:

Quickly want to say that whatever happened happened nearly two years ago. It was horrible for it to become public last week, but I have had two years’ worth of incredible help and support, and am fine.’

Because it’s all about her.

She’s not a good writer. Before I even knew who her connections were I couldn’t fathom why the Times employed her. I even naively wrote to them once asking the question.

Her colleagues were so talented and yet all she ever did was state the bleeding obvious and write dull musings of her privileged out-of-touch life. She was rarely insightful or relevant.

I've seen photos of IK , she hasn't aged well and she also has the look of a heavy drinker.
