I'm glad they're being exposed

I don't like Dan Wootton. He's an unpleasant man and I'd love to see his downfall. And there would be a lovely symmetry after how hard he went after Schofield.
But according to his boyfriend, he went through Wootton's personal stuff, even forcing open a locked bag. And then he broke onto his hard drive. How does this make him any less harassing than Wootton?
They dated for 4 years and didn't even live together. If those years were so distressing, why didn't he just end it?
He's reported it to the police who have found there was no illegality.
So far it's just an ex alleging things but with no proof other than the police couldn't find anything wrong.

presenterspackitinffs · 13/07/2023 21:38

Twitter appeared to suggest colleagues had contacted the ex after he removed the allegations a few years ago

Yeah, bf doesn't necessarily look in a good light how you put it - but I feel a bit more worried about the blackmailing pornographic content he's allegedly had on people

Also maybe this is conspiracy theory territory but havent people been talking about a blackmail ring in the media? For a few years?

Never heard of him, who does he work for, guessing not mainstream

WorldCuppa · 13/07/2023 22:43

@gogomoto he a spanner who used to work at The Sun so you couldn’t get more mainstream

Mumsnetters won't know this but Wootton is also a columnist for the Daily Mail. He is an odious man with repellent views, as you would expect.

Sunnysunbun · 14/07/2023 18:43

He's awful

He works for mailonline. I think that's pretty well-known, isn't it? He doesn't hide it. I'm pretty sure he actively publicises it. Does that make a difference to the allegations?

Itsnotpooitschocolate · 14/07/2023 19:26

I've not heard of him but he sounds like a bellend

You could at least find a reliable source rather than a self-made website run by 3 people, the only thing I could find about the author is that this is some kid that was once interviewed via video link on GB-News about inclusive language in the commons. 😂😂😂

Probably sick of seeing/hearing him go on and on about Phillip Schofield (and by extension holly willoughby) and huw Edward and knowing he’s an absolute hypocrite.

gogomoto · 14/07/2023 20:46

@WorldCuppa

Never read the sun or mail. He's not on mainstream tv?

presenterspackitinffs · 14/07/2023 23:44

No he's not @gogomoto afaik but he's gone repeatedly after certain other celebs - MM, CF, PS etc pretty strong and think might've just covered HE but he's also meant to be on holiday so not sure on that. The celebs who'd be probably happy to see his downfall are probably much better known by the public than him

Used to do the celebrity section Lorraine (ITV) and wrote for Now magazine.

It's obvious that these high profile perverts target vulnerable young people who have frequently already become accustomed to abuse from older, wealthier men. There will always be a supply of the needy and lonely. Who will take any notice of them if their prey does complain? Nobody.

longwayoff · 15/07/2023 09:16

Yes, @Nightlystroll , it does make a difference. No mumsnetter worthy of the name reads the D Mail. Surely that's not news to you.

😂😂😂 Indeed. Or rather, everyone reads it, calls it, very originally, the Daily Fail to prove to everyone how loathsome they find it, apologises for glancing it but it's the first time they've ever polluting their eyes I'm such a way, and then quotes from it. 😂
