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

@Doughnut89 Sadly none of that surprises me. Holly must be so relieved not to be on daytime telly anymore and have to do another ludicrous "are you ok?" speech. Suspect she might go to ground for a bit though, as having a second colleague being accused of sexual misconduct and saying "ooh I had no idea" won't cut it.

Did an event with him years ago before he was very famous. He kept emailing the marketing exec trying it on. Doesn't surprise me at all.

No. What happened?

That is a bizarre response to a victimised woman. We still have a lot to fight sadly.

The clip is on you tube,his comments towards Sofia are very offensive and I'm sure she told him to stop touching her.

Don’t be ridiculous

I am not in the least bit surprised.
I have never liked him.
My theory about his ‘ cheeky chappy, oh was that your breast my hand accidentally squeezed’ persona is correct after all.
I can think of many famous men who use a persona to get away with clearly sexual predator behaviour. The same would not wash if it was white van man Dave the plumber from down the road. Dave would instantly be called a sex pest and labelled a total bastard and creep be avoided and ostracised. But these ‘cheeky chappy, eccentric, child like’ stars, well, that’s just would they are, isn’t it?

We have to also remember the people accused falsely of comments and inappropriate behaviour. I'm not saying he hasn't said and done these things but I often wonder why it takes so long for people to raise complaints and why isn't something says at the time to the person making the comments .
When with friends sometimes jokes go a bit far and rude never to that extents though but usually the people there will say that's enough pack it in now etc. I wonder if this is what happens .I just wish these things came up sooner . Sean Wilson was going to appear in Coronation street but false allegations were made and had a massive impact on him

Why some lowly paid, easily replaceable behind the scenes members of staff (not friends of GD) did not speak out at the time about inappropriate behaviour by one of ITVs favourite employees? No, beats me!

And the fact that it's taken an investigation by ITV news (not something I imagine they do on a whim), 40 accusations and counting so far and the channel have shelved an entire unaired series of Family Fourtunes which would have generated them ££ does not sound like someone who is on the recieving end of malicious allegations. But still he was a cheeky chappy, just like Gregg Wallace and Jimmy Saville did loads for charity so y'know they can't be that bad 🙄.

I always thought he was fake and gross, but listening to him on Parenting Hell made me really sure I disliked him. Just general ‘lighthearted’ misogyny and unpleasant attitude. Rob and Josh seemed a bit baffled.

@EverybodyLTB I love Parenting Hell but I deliberately avoided that episode. Doesn't sound like I missed out.

No, instead she’s in a new show with Bear Grylls, who famously cosied up with Russell Brand to ‘baptise’ him after all the shit had hit the fan about him. HW is unbearable.

I see Asda arent bothered

There are a lot of people supporting him that say it's banter.

Has he abused anyone physically?

I'm a woman with a mixture of men and women friends. We have banter when we go out.

I have never found Gino offensive.

G D’Ac has made me feel sick for years - thank the Lord he’s been rumbled - choices equal consequences for these ‘ celebrity’ scrotes 😡

"I have never found Gino offensive."

That's nice for you. But 40 seperate women did, as well as aggressive, intimidating and threatening so 🤷.

And why do some posts keep mentioning banter with their friends? Gino was not friends with these women, he was employed alongside them and they had every right to be able to go into work each day without being sexually harassed or threatened. Regardless of how much he or his fangirls want to insist that it was just bantz.

If they felt sexually harassed or threatened why did they not speak up when it happened?

C&P'd from my post yesterday:

@lifeonmars100 How fucking DARE you talk about autism like that? My daughter is autistic and isn't a fucking predator ffs

Have you seen people's reactions on FB and here? And you wonder why people don't speak out? 🤦‍♀️🙄

I have a feeling more has happened which is why itv have spoken out. Why was he let go only now?

The whole show, This Morning comes across as toxic to me.
Phil, Holly, Gino...toxic IMO.
Avoid, awful false creepy tv.

@ChristmasPudd1990 yes it's all very suss. I read yesterday that as well as the unaired series of FF ITV have removed every show featuring him from their schedule. That is not a move they or anybody would make just for a bit of off colour banter.
