Another man on TV abusing women

[Pebbles16]

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

But I thought he was meant to be such a good guy, and that we shouldn’t judge him for being a convicted burglar.

I have a feeling he will get out of any accusations unscathed because he can blame it on a 'cheeky' persona.

Not just entertainment but hospitality as well is utterly rife with SA from men and women so it was almost a given that someone like him would be. If they didn't touch you up they screamed the place down if you breathed near them, you need a rhino hide to survive.

That entertainers who worked in hospitality can't keep their wretched hands to themselves is absolutely no surprise.

Obviously up to you - but it's highly unlikely you would have been the only person to have been on the receiving end of his predatory behaviour. So there would be no way of you being identified unless you gave specific details that made it impossible to be anybody else - and, sadly, he even remembers which one you were.

It's literally in the link anyway!

There's been rumours before. He comes across as creepy and misogynistic. Not surprised either.

This I absolutely agree with, Ah the rampant chefs with their sexy personas.

Biggest surprise...NOT, this guy a convicted criminal and he gives creep vibes.

Never liked him.

I find him very funny but have never liked him due to his burglary conviction. Yeah I know you're supposed to forgive but I've been burgled and lost sentimental irreplaceable stuff. I couldn't see past his conviction as that tells me all I need to know about him.

I once met Gino at a food event and he stuck his hand up my skirt. So pleased it’s coming to light now that hat he’s like

Yep.

I started waitressing at 15 in an upmarket restaurant and was getting passes made to me by chefs in their 30’s

He robbed Paul Young and destroyed irreplaceable music and photos of his wife. He got 2 years for it. He's scum, total scum.

In 1998, D'Acampo was convicted of burgling singer Paul Young's London home, and served two years in prison. D'Acampo has apologised to Young, who accepted and suggested that D'Acampo could invite him to dinner in his restaurant.[26]

that is awful

Yes, I read a more recent article where Paul talks about how he’s lost recordings of his wife’s voice that he’ll never be able to hear again. Reminder that the crime doesn’t just happen at the time, that the impact to the victim goes on and on.

There's another paedo hiding in plain sight? My God, how they even have the guts to carry on on the screen?
Hugs to you x

I am starting to lose track of all the creeps,perves and weirdos in the media and also in day to day life. The website of my local newspaper carries about 4 stories a week of domestic violence and sexual assault cases and they will be the tip of the iceberg.

Always thought Gino De' Campio (sp) was a slimey self-adoring creep and he made my skin crawl. I don't think that there are more men about like that these days but that finally women are started to be listed to. I was young in the 70's and 80's and you just had to put up with vile behaviour and gross comments. I can remember having to pass a building site on my way to work and the stuff that was yelled at me was filthy and that is just one example from my past.

Really good point. Every chef I had to work with was a total arsehole. Not surprised at all by this odious little wanker. Never liked his “cheeky chappy” persona and over the top accent.

me neither

Oh 🥺 sorry x

I’m not surprised. I’m more surprised it’s taken this long for stories to come out.

I doubt he sounds like the accent he uses too, always came across as fake.

Or that he has a diagnoisis, apparently Kanye West has announced that he has been diagnosed with autism.

sorry someone put their penis on someones head?

I once (and only once!) bought one of his pasta meals in Asda because it was reduced and it was bloody vile.

I always hated the way his slimy personality was encouraged on Celebrity Juice.
The programme was amusing at times but when he was on it the sexual comments certainly got worse and I felt it was somehow more accepted due to his accent.

Yep that's their opinion!

That's awful, some of these people are utterly disgusting.

My brother had a career in hospitality and had endless opportunities to climb the corporate ladder had he consented to various managers demands.

When I was at college I did some banqueting work at the hotel he worked. In one night learned to wear a very tight just below knee length skirt and keep moving forwards. Whenever I changed my clothes to go out on the evening the various little notes of phone, name, cock size, and room numbers were like confetti and that was on top of the fondling and comments. When you are holding a very hot tray of food the last thing you need is someone trying to run their hand up your inner thigh.

@JandamiHash So sorry
