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

I once met a woman at my local gym. Quite a character and turns out she was GW’s second wife he’d divorced. I got the full story of his awful behaviour and how he repeatedly cheated on her (he even tried it on with their baby’s nanny) and the poor woman ended up having a breakdown. Whilst she was in a mental hospital he hired a top top lawyer to get custody of the kids and subsuqently turned them against her. She also said he had a huge collection of spank mags 🥴

Hang on, so he raised the kids???

That poor woman, hope this brings her some justice

I remember years ago reading an interview where he boasted about this (getting custody of his kids whilst their mother was suffering with mh issues) and that's what caused my 'whatta cunt' alarm bells to first ring.

He even says he's a better father now to his youngest

I sense he does very little so just how bad was he to the older two

No, it isn't. There's plenty of decent ones.

I went to uni with the girlfriend of his son and she was invited on a family holiday but Gregg told her she'd have to lose weight and look good in a bikini as he wasn't wasting money on a holiday looking at her like that! She was a size 10 and in her early 20s! Vile man!

This is outrageous!
Looking at the pictures posted upthread I think the girlfriend (possibly ex by now) would’ve been perfectly entitled to retort: I don’t want to go on holiday with you, with your big gurning, grinning face - you (allegedly) pervy fucker.

I keep thinking of starting a thread about random gossip because I love it. Tell me about your coworkers fighting, or your neighbour’s affair. I’m a nosy bitch and I love idle gossip. But I know I’d be ripped apart for starting it 🤣

It worked out for Lady Whistledown, in the end.

She was an alcoholic and died from the complications of alcohol addiction. I don't watch (and subsequently worship these people on TV) and never see the appeal of men like GW, but it doesn't mean every aspect of his life needs raking over, as though people know what went on. I think going forward, presenters need changing, obviously any complaints acted upon, but the issue is that people become untouchable.

Given how many people work at the BBC, how many awful men there are in every walk of life, the temptations and power trips available to showbiz people on top of that, and how much publicity (clicks go brrrrrrrr) each high-profile case generates, I'm not remotely surprised that we get stories like this. Meanwhile GB News goes through presenters like I go through a bag of crisps.

Also a lot of people work for many showbiz employers, but the BBC always gets the blame (e.g., for Russell Brand) even if they only passed through. Maybe the BBC could have detected Phillip Schofield earlier if only they'd given Gordon the Gopher a really thorough exit interview.

Yes!! As long as it's not David Attenborough, Clive Myrie or Rylan I'll be happy.

But it does feel like a matter of time until when not if there is another one.

People talking about Auntie Beeb protecting "the talent" - what talent does Greg(g) have exactly?!

@StrongFemaleCharacter I don't know but I imagine he's given a very nice payment for it (or the lack of it) and Aunty Beeb was her taxpayer funded money's worth.

And most programmes aren't made by the BBC or C4 etc, they're made by production companies, so the channels aren't always hugely involved in the making of them.

First wife left him after six months.

Second wife was with him 14 years (married 1999 two children, now 29 and 26). They split up after he cheated on her. She said at the time he would "never change". He responded by saying he got a bad press and he wasn't a womaniser... Shes the dead one.

Third wife. Last 15 months. She said "difficult man", "quite needy" and "difficult to deal with". And that he wrote extensive to do lists about everything. He said it was a huge mistake but she was a good teacher and really good with kids.

Four wife. 22 year age gap. Met via twitter - she was talking to him about rhubarb and he liked her photo so hit on her. Hes said he didn't want his sexy girlfriend turning into an exhausted mother, so he wanted to get help in when she got pregnant. So she moved her mother in.

If wife number 4 came on MN, we'd all be saying 'look at all the red flags' (and probably more than that but...)

Either way, I think its fair to say, its hard to think of a more misognistic man on the telebox. Its more surprising he last this long!

I really, really, REALLY hope that Rod asked Penny if he could post this, and she wasn't thrown into the drama by her own husband.

I remember seeing Greggs wedding photo on a magazine cover ages ago and thinking how uncomfortable John and Lisa looked. Guess that explains it. Wonder if they are enjoying this as much as everyone else is.

No. But LF made a comment last week that GW was rude and made sexual comments. Maybe she is part of the reason others have made complaints.
And will JT be worried that the public will think he was involved or if he covered it up?

If I was JT I'd be putting a statement out distancing myself from this pretty bloody quickly.

She 100% knew what was happening and spoke up to protect her career and put distance between them and Greg. I don't believe in coincidence.

He was effectively given a formal warning in 2018 as it was.
