Apologies if there is already a thread on this?

See attached screenshots

Looks like people have really been waiting on his downfall 🤭🤭

(Obviously, I know it's a serious matter for those who've been victimised by the guy, not being dismissive of them)

Just seems like he's really pissed off his fellow celebs

Accusations of groping are now coming in.

EmotionalSupportPotato · 30/11/2024 07:16

I think the BBC need to look at their records and look at ANYONE who has had an accusation reported about them and consider if they've handled it appropriately or not

I will add Ritchie Anderson and Jermaine jenas to that list

To the "annoying and seemingly talentless presenters" list presumably?

I'm so glad I don't pay the BBC fucks a penny in TV License.

The BBC knew what was going on and ignored it.

Lostinidea · 30/11/2024 08:36

They knew with all of them. Every single male presenter that's left the Beeb in disgrace recently has rightly had an investigation (or several) into their behaviour but then maybe at worst a tiny slap on the wrist. All whilst being retained on full pay. No wonder some of them used to look so bloody pleased with themselves 🤢

I agree but it might take a while!

Why hasn't John Torrode made a stand over the year? Pretty sure his job would be safe if he's done nothing wrong.

Sia8899 · 30/11/2024 10:11

Just seen an article with a video of his remark to Katy Brand as she has reacted/released a statement about it. If something like that gets aired I’m not shocked that he’s even more vile off screen

She must have so much more than this to say about him though 🤭🤭

I wonder if she complained about him at the time. He publicly said she didn’t like him and he’d have done better if paired with someone else. Perhaps she deliberately made sure they were shit, so they got knocked out and she could escape his clutches.

OP why do you keep responding with 🤭🤭 emojis? Do you think this is funny? Or just loving the drama? 🙃

Sorry to anyone I've offended, it's a serious issue - but also, he's a twat

I've worked with him three times, albeit years ago. I'm not the tiniest bit surprised about the allegations. He was constantly making sexist, creepy jokes, the production team frequently exchanged loaded glances and apologized for him. I didn't like him at all.

I liked/like John Torrode - completely different, pretty likeable.

Sorry - just thought I'd add something after chatting with my DH about this...my experience of him was around 17/18 years ago. The BBC KNEW what he was like that long ago at least, and there'll be countless people who'll be able to confirm the fact.

She must have more than that to say about the guy - along the lines of he's fucking awful

But I've already apologised for anyone I've offended for revelling in a horrible guys downfall 👍🏾

Ah sorry missed that bit. I'm not very good with the emoji sometimes. Yeah she possibly does but I imagine she's just saying her bit and that's it. I just can't believe it went on for so long! What kind of a workplace is the BBC!?

Nah its alright, it is a serious topic. We just all know men like this and the hell it is being a woman in the workplace

100%, I respect how she's handled things, and I'm sure he's not the only bellend she's had to put up with

The BBC has a real problem and it must go all the way to the top because employing this number of awful men is ridiculous!

I think that's just it. Any men I've known that have made any remotely gross joke in the office have been spoken to and that's it. Not had it go on YEARS!

'The BBC' often isn't one workplace. MasterChef is made by a production company called Banijay, Repair Shop - with it's own presenter issues - is made by Ricochet. It's a bit like saying Tesco has an issue with product safety if they had to recall say a Heinz soup and a Kellogg's cereal.
That is one of the reasons bad behaviour goes unchecked for so long, as the industry is so transient. The likes of Gregg might make few inappropriate comments on one job, that the production company either deals with or doesn't. He then moves to a different job with a different company, working with completely new people where he again makes some comments. The second company will have no idea, beyond potentially the industry grapevine, that this is an existing issue on record elsewhere. Even if he returns to the first company he would likely be working with an entire new team of freelancers as almost everyone is hired just for that specific job.
There have been moves in recent years to try to join things up better so it doesn't take 20 years before people's bad behaviour catches up with them, but they haven't gained much traction yet.
Quote fail, this was in reply to @EmotionalSupportPotato.
