Yes the wretched Italian chef - not giving his name credence. https://www.itv.com/watch/news/the-latest-headlines-multiple-claims-of-inappropriate-behaviour-against-gino-dacampo/5wr9dh3

Hiding in plain sight.

There are others, I switch over on another popular "star" because of what he did to me and others when we were young.

AIBU to find this exhausting

Gosh I agree it's so exhausting like it seems every day there's someone else. I feel almost worried about liking someone's art or talent just because of who they turn out to be. Its all a bit wtf tbh

For once I’m not surprised

Neither am I TBH, I worked with him about a decade ago and found him "rather to overt" with his desirability.

Because I really don't want to type out the name of a sexual predator, and you can see it on the link without clicking on it.

I’m not surprised either, yet another one.

HoraceCope · 06/02/2025 18:49

but you just want us to follow your link Hmm

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 06/02/2025 18:51

This doesn't even surprise me tbh

He already has a criminal conviction, no? What's a little misogyny to boot

He's funny at times but seems like he has small man syndrome.

When I watched Gordon gino and Fred, it seemed to me that Gordon was careful around him, something in the way he'd look at him. Defo me overthinking there but, not surprised

The name is in the link. No need to click to see who it is.

So careful that he woke him up by banging his erect penis on his head?

Eh? Someone did something to you? I don't understand your OP.

No but they talked about it on a show after. Seems Gordon was pretty comfortable with him!

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 06/02/2025 18:56

Oh op, I missed the end of your post!

Someone on tv abused you and others when you were young? I'm so sorry x

ColinOfficeTrolley · 06/02/2025 18:56

Not surprised in the least. He is a cocky, horrid little turd.

MugsyBalonz · 06/02/2025 18:57

The fact it seems to be endemic in the entertainment industry suggests that these men are abusing positions of power and exploiting the dynamics of being "the star" with all the bargaining power that entails. It also suggests that production companies, bosses, management teams are failing to safeguard other employees, particularly those in more junior positions, and are failing to act on allegations. These cases always follow the same MO of the "star" being untouchable, allegations being ignored or downplayed, and the abuse being an open secret. It needs to change but it seems like none of them possess the will to make it change.

Oh wow, didn't see that

Fair enough then

In the bits I saw of it, it seemed like he was being cautious about how he came across

Yes, another "beloved" presenter who is yet to be outed. I don't particularly want to be sued.

Have you reported them?

Don't you only get sued for slander if it's not true?

Pebbles16 · 06/02/2025 19:07

I don't want to derail the thread by the un-named person.
I would rather a discussion on the horror of the large percentage of "men in power" abusing their position.
Mea culpa, I shouldn't have mentioned it, it just brought back a whole host of unhelpful thoughts.

He is hardly a beloved presenter.
also it’s no secret as it was on the news
