BBC presenter Huw Edwards suspended over paying for sexual pics.

[JimW]

Various people told me today that the youth in question is female.

I can't believe you've been seeking out speculation elsewhere, you hussy.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I get the feeling that this could all blow over without us finding out anything much about any of it.

I’m only here because the family WhatsApp won’t stop going fucking on about it so I was curious as to the hot takes I was missing

 

[friedaweed]

I didn’t.

Your reference to cheese made no sense to me.

Fuck you.

He did say he was sorry earlier in the thread so I will have to consider this the second of my predicted bunfights on the thread. Now ramp it up a bit please I only need 6 more pages and a thread ban.

 

[nogojones]

Same with the Guardian/Guardian readers. Whilst snootily analysing celeb culture they are also obsessed with it. Liberals innit.

I only clicked on this thread to sneer at those posting on it

I've got no excuse, I'm two continents away and well out of touch with anything BBC.

I'm only hanging around until the sneering reaches warp factor 8.

BBC News - BBC: Claims about presenter 'rubbish' - young person's lawyer

'Nothing inappropriate' in BBC presenter row - young person's lawyer

Claims being made by the mother at the heart of the BBC presenter row are "rubbish", a lawyer says.

Whatever the truth of this story is, wherever it lies, one thing remains certain: the social media reaction to it is just another example of how truly a cesspool of toxicity the place really is. It's more and more a fast growing social cancer; far worse now than even the tabloid press which visciously feeds off it like a hyena feeds off a rotting corpse.

Well said.

He suggested he take his ten year old to a penis museum? weirdo

Unless your family includes a BBC presenter, that's just weird.

Went to one in Iceland. Was great!

 

[Bingoman]

so is the presenter innocent then?

That would be OK, and I’d have left it there. But something even worse than last night came next…

Which was never said. That’s not a person who’s sorry, or who’s thought about anything with regret.

Yep. They've even posted a screenshot of the BBC presenter allegedly showing his bum ... to the other party. (On twitter) not on the real media..

That never stopped him

Nah just constant “who is itttttt”

 

[Plumdaff]

This is pretty grim. If it's the case that someone has engaged in a consensual and legal sexual transaction with a much younger person then however distasteful it's no one else's business and the person widely named on social media has had their reputation destroyed now, whatever happens.

 

[Bingoman]

Could the sun find themselves in trouble if it turns out to be a lie

 

[magneze]

Starting blow back onto the Sun now. Oh dear never mind.

Snap

Wonder how The S*n will deal with it all, if the allegations are bollocks.

One line apology on page 28?

Maybe that was the plan?

 

[belboid]

it’s getting clear why they didn’t name him. Even the scum has backtracked (a little) to say it’s just Their complaint was not acted upon by the BBC.

Deffo rowing back vibe about the scum's statement:
