Westwood is a prick isn't he?

It did! But it was rubbished by men because women make stuff like this up obviously

If someone says they have been assaulted, they have been assaulted, unless there is overwhelming evidence that they haven't.

Who in their right mind would make that sort of allegation up? To go through absolute hell in the legal process, with a slim chance the assailant might get convicted?
 
Blimey. This is pretty awful to read. Fair play to those women. What an absolute cunt.

And I mean I used to love Westwood back in the day. Listened to the Rap show all the time. I even have a signed Radio 1 promo photo of him on my desk as I type. Looks like that's coming down now.

None of the women he assaulted went to the police. They were all young black women and girls who he assaulted either in clubs or by luring them back to his flat. The woman I heard on the radio described how he got her into his flat on the pretext of listening to her demo, got his cock out, left the room, returned naked, turned her around and raped her.

The BBC described it as ‘had sex with her’. She was 19 year old black woman, in the home of a famous white DJ. The safest thing for her to do was to let him rape her. And who would have believed her? No one.
 
Does he still do radio anywhere? Has he had any work over the last couple of years?

I know he must be entitled to state pension by now, but I can't see him wanting to give up his fame.

c
interestingly Snoop Dogg and his manager (iirc?) both had simliar allegations made against them recently and the press quickly dropped the issue, and now the allegation itself has been withdrawn
Its very hard for anyone from the outside looking in to know what the reality is, but I presume with this Westwood case there are enough seperate cases to remove reasonable doubt

yes hes on Capital XTRA IIRC - listened the other day
Has his own regular Westwood gigs at the Scala
 
This board really needs a sucking your teeth smiley
hah! TBF hes a pretty impressive DJ - he's got that trap>rap>dancehall>soca! stuff down, fast mixing, loads of tunes and quite impressive how he keeps bang up to date with the scenes all these years. I tuned in out of curiosity more than anything

still all the bomb sound effects?
 
Yes, 'hiding in plain sight' again.
Yes, that's it - someone as weird and seedy as that couldn't possibly be a wrong'un / nonce, cos it'd be too obvious... on the other hand, this Westwood news doesn't come as a massive surprise does it? It's like my Mrs was saying, she always thought Savile was a weird creep and felt there was something deeply Wrong about him. Unlike say Rolf Harris?
 
The age thing is weird. I mean, it's one thing to knock a couple of years off, plenty of people do that, especially if they're in the public eye. But pretending to be 27 when you're 43 - wonder if that should've been a red flag. Not saying it was, just I wonder.
 
Before I'd even read the story yesterday a friend posted on social media about a 17 year old he knew who Westwood was chasing at an event about 10 years ago. Hopefully the program will give more women the confidence to come forward. Maybe the laughable caricature of a posh boy who thinks he's black allowed him to hide in plain sight, but he's clearly very dangerous where young women are concerned.

My son just came down and told me it was plainly obvious from his social media posts. He called out the Benjamin Mendy rape allegations for the same reason so it's obvious that predatory men are operating openly on these platforms....almost like their behaviour is normalised even.
 
Those of us with long memories will recall how Westwood was shot in Kennington in 1999 after appearing at the Lambeth Country Show - Radio 1 DJ shot in gangland-style hit - rereading the article today it seems he was trying to appear younger at the time as it states he was 30 when he was at least 41/42
Interesting that the police were keeping an open mind and no one could think why they did it.
I've just thought of possible justification for some reason, I wonder..
