Never stop asking these famous men the question…

… why did you think it was ok for your 30-something friend (Brand, Walliams, Fielding, etc) to be dating teenagers? Minors, in many cases?

Jonathan Ross, David Baddiel, Noel Gallagher, Ricky Gervais to name just a few who were friends with these men and saw them bring a string of teenage girls to their parties. Why did they think that was ok? Did they ever challenge their friend on dating teens half their age or less?

They need to get no peace until they’ve answered these questions.

Just focus on the men in your own life rather than men you don’t know and never will

Why did Jonathan Ross think it was ok to have teen girls around?

Maybe because he started dating his wife when she was 16, and he was 26.

And this is why powerful men will continue to abuse that power.

I absolutely do hold the men in my life accountable. Thankfully none of them turn up to my parties with teenage dates.

I honestly don't think Walliams actually turned up at a party with a 15 year old. Walliams is a sleaze and sadly the world is full of sleazy men, especially in show business. The police have so far not received any complaints.

I agree with you @DownThePubWithStevieNicks , the world never improved for the better by waiting for rights and protections to be handed down to those not in the position of power. Things have to be made uncomfortable before those in power will shift for the betterment of others.

As the joke goes, he may not have turned up with a 15 year old but he would go home with one.

It’s documented in yesterday’s reporting that while in his mid to late thirties he took an 18 to a celebrity party, and had a pair of teenagers at at least one party at his house attended by many of the men I’ve listed.

Sleazy is bad enough, but the reporting included a claim that he sexually assaulted a 15 year old. As we’ve seen recently, it’s often media reporting that empowers women to make criminal complaints.

Curious that some PR agents posters are so keen to deflect attention from famous men.

I am not excusing him over the 15 year old but I myself dated much older man at 18, it was my preference at the time. And I would meet his friends.

You seem unscathed, so fair enough to you on an individual level. If I’d been his friend at the time I’d have told him I thought it pathetic for a man in his thirties to be dating someone only just a legal adult. 🤷‍♀️
