Has everyone forgotten Jonathan Ross and Sachsgate?

[Greedybilly]

I love traitors but i detest Jonathon Ross. I clearly remember his vile phone calls to Andrew Sachs about his grandaughter. Along with his accomplice Russel Brand - vile, laddish behaviour. How is he even still working? Does he have mates in high places - people's careers have gone under for much less.
Also he makes my skin crawl and is ruining a damn good show.

Yes, everyone on here who is defending JR/not saying nasty things about him, is one of his family members. Couldn't possibly be random individual people posting, who don't know him, who don't know each other, and are just posting things about him that are not negative! 🙄

Give me strength.

May as well say you people berating him and saying he should have been hung, drawn, and quartered, are Andrew Sachs family! FFS!

A few misogynists this year. At least one has gone already.. Tom Daley.

Stephen Fry
Jonathan Ross

All 3, misogynistic vomit. 🤢

The votes say otherwise. But carry on defending a slimey man you don't know if that's what you want to do with your Saturday night.

But if you did and lost your job over it, would you expect to never ever be allowed to work again (for another company, but still in retail) because of it?

Do you have a single scrap of evidence to back this up?

!

His clothes make me laugh

Don't you mean Russell Brand, not Howard?

It wasn't on live TV.

Russell Brand has become a Christian in a big way now, he got baptised by Bear Grills!

I didn’t say it did, but i can’t get that upset about it either. I also don’t think he’s a ‘pervert’. He made stupid jokes about RB shagging the grand daughter, that hardly makes him a pervert, just a tool.
I think you are being very melodramatic tbh.

I haven’t. I haven’t listened to or watched him since.

This. ^ Imagine feeling the need to drag something up from nearly 2 decades ago, that was dealt with at the time, and has been dead and buried since the noughties, and posting a thread about it!

The OP must be really bored tonight. 😆

I am not related to Jonathan but I like him. I loved his radio show as did DH and was upset when it ended.

I find him interesting and intelligent. I would far rather have a conversation with him than Stephen Fry. I also think he has a good sense of humour.

Sorry of that offends all the saintly haters here

I've always found him revolting and creepy, and no, I haven't forgotten.

Nearly 20 years later?🤯

I doubt it.

But the woman maintained that she racially abused her, along with violently attacking her because she tried to stop her stealing the lollipops she was selling

This isnt the same as the JR thing at all and is disgusting

Yes it is. So there isn’t any need to try and make it sound bigger by saying he was ‘almost 30’. By that logic she was ‘almost 20’. It doesn’t make sense

Noo I mean Russell Howard! Some of his old stand up was shockingly sexist and nasty to women!

If he can rebrand, so can Jonathan Ross tbh

Russell Howard pushed in front of me in a queue once and then proceeded to speak VERY loudly so that everyone knew who he was.

It may have been over 15 years ago but I also don't forget!

See - quite the nasty little prick back then!

Completely agree! What does he have over tv producers to keep giving him prime tv roles?!

I’d rather defend someone than make up baseless shit. He made the phone call. We all agree it was appalling. That is pretty much the only fact.

You can almost hear the salivating at calling him a pervert, making up memories of how he was awful to Charlotte Church, that he didn’t apologise to Georgina, that it was on live TV, that Sachs was a holocaust survivor (he wasn’t), that he was ‘almost 30’ when he met his wife. All untrue.

You're the one defending a stranger on your Sat night despite hundreds of women saying they don't like him while you try to shut them all up.

Yeah, life goes on. He did something stupid and unpleasant a few years ago, which garnered some truly hysterical overreactions, nicely inflamed by those sections of the press that enjoy moral high-ground type feeding frenzies on celebrities. I wasn't very impressed by what he did at the time, but it was all very overhyped imo. I haven't seen a repetition of that behaviour, so I got over it. I quite like JR's TV personality; he's entertaining, and I think he's pretty good value in Traitors (although surely he must get rumbled soon).

I really can't be arsed with this, condemn for all time attitude for people I don't know personally tbh, (I make an exception for the sex pests), for a start, I could never keep track of all of the dickhead celebrity behaviour over the years.

Stephen Fry, on the other hand, is both dull and overpimped by everyone in there. I really find their weird, awestruck treatment of him quite odd. I really don't see any evidence of his much vaunted massive brain; he's just got a posh accent with a good memory and a tendency to drop quotes from the classics. I have yet to see any original thought from him tbh.

Calling out lies is not the same as shutting women (or men for that matter) up.
