Gregg Wallace

[DastardlyDick]

A new career as a barrister could be beckoning with his opening line:  "they're not all true" 

So some of them are? He's done his legs there

He's treading the same path as Huw & Phil, feeling suicidal bless 

& he's plucked autism outta the bag, strange how this has only just surfaced
I

Standard "mental health* card being played thereI

He's very creepy lets see if more stuff surfaces

The thing that raised suspicions that he is capable of this alleged behaviour was when he apparently thought it normal to answer the door to a female caller (calling by appointment) in his dressing gown and then suffering a "wardrobe malfunction" to reveal himself nude.

This is news & doesn't surprise me if its true
In having a female round to wherever they happened to be most normal blokes would think about the situation & how to behave
Especially since #me2
He's the complete opposite
WTF does he expect the woman to jump on him ?
Putting whoever the woman was in a difficult position 
Proves he's a cunt, revealing himself & thinking its normal suggesting that its happened more than once
He must think he's gods gift he needs a reality check
His missus is standing by him tho lets see how long this lasts if the shit really hits the fan
Huw's wifey was soon gorne once the dust had settled tho likely this relationship was finito long before the news came out

It appears that there are some thirteen women who have made a complaint, they all cant have got things wrong
As for making a TV comeback he's in dreamland
The torpedo hit below the waterline when he blamed “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age?”
& he's been taking on water ever since
He cant help himself External Link/Members Only
Gregg Wallace claims female co-stars laughed at his ‘sexualised jokes’
He hasn;t got a scooby & if they were laughing they probably couldn't think of anything else to do, laughing at him [horrified] not with him

As for the autism mullarkey cling onto that not that this is going to make any difference
Feeling suicidal  blah blah, crack on & try a bit harder on this do women a favour
Clearly he's a misogynistic ****, predator might be going a bit far tho lets see what comes out in due course no smoke without ....

Wallace has now been formally sacked by Masterchef and says he's been cleared of the most serious allegations against him but in the meantime another 50 people have come forward, that's him squeaky clean then

He dropped his trousers in front of a female contestant, and then says, oops Im not wearing any underwear.   So looks like a few females have said the same thing, where Gregg trousers all of a sudden fell down

GW came out fighting not gonna take getting spanish archer by the bbc lying down
This didnt last long
50 more women [no doubt of a certain age  ] have come forward making complaints to the bbc

Tho he could do a documentary for a shite TV programme, cooking inside HMP
He should ne more worried about hide the sausage than plums / sausage rolls

Oooh bless him he only just found out he's suffering from autism & it was the bbc's responsibility to look after him accordingly
Straws ... clutching 

[C-R-Tees]

Strange how all these people suddenly step forward with "new" claims 

It seems like what he did was enough to have plausible deniability if it was a one off. There'll be enough who thought "this must have been a one-off mistake, no point in kicking up a fuss." Especially as they think they might not be believed. But once there's multiple people making similar claims, it's much easier to step forward.

He's been in Showbiz long enough to know how it works. Even if he does successfully sue the BBC, he'll find it next to impossible to get TV work.

That's a big if, successfully
I cant see the bbc caving they have to stand firm
He must be up to 60-70 complaints
More to follow ?
He makes his media statement unfair dismaissal blah blah
The bbc will have known this was coming & the following day detail the additional 50 complaints, me likey the timing is perfick 
If he challanges the bbc the costs could be enormous to him
He should have gone quietly signed an NDA maybe get a small settlment & disappear for a year etc
Like apologies am seeking help blah blah
He doesnt have this in his locker
I've met him had a brief convo he is very confident in himself, i thought he came across as an arrogant cock 
Fuck the autism mullarkey
If he cracks on suing the bbc he may well come across lawyers & barristers who are 'women of a certain age', best of british ...

If a few women maybe two three it can be 'he said she said'
The complaints are going back many years when times were different
Things were stacked against women little / no chance of being believed [especailly with the bbc who have a track recrd for harbouring & protecting paedos & mysoginists] & their careers can be over
Going into double figures & now half a century plus with a common them they all cant be wromg
IMO the CPS should become very interested
His problems could only be just beginning, thats a shame

"Friends of Wallace" are quoted in The Times as saying Gregg Wallace’s autism means he can’t wear underwear.

Sources close to Wallace said the complaints primarily related to inappropriate language and were almost entirely dated to before 2018, at which point he realised that he had been behaving badly.
A friend said: “He stopped going out with the team and stopped telling jokes because he realised he didn’t know what was right and what crossed the line.”

Before the report’s publication, Wallace accused programme-makers of failing to act on their suspicions about his condition.
“Nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over twenty years,” he said. “That failure is now being quietly buried.”

So basically he's now trying to claim that he's a victim in all this too 

[webpunter]

Just found this - over on our besties site they are all over it various links - hitting the nail on the head.  Considered best not to link 

his "friends" now claim that incidents such as him opening doors with a sock on his penis while he shouted "hooray" were due to his autism which, in turn, meant he couldn't wear underwear.

These 'friends' seem to remain anonymous, who the fuck are they ?
Stand up & be counted or off you fuck
Him & his PR team are an insult to people with autism
He's now playing the part of the victim & its the bbc's fault for not protecting him 
You can't make it up 

Phill & Huw must be banging their heads against a wall, why didn't my PR / lawyers think of this play ? 
Not forgetting Randy Andy whose team were very expensively assembled [paid for ultimately by err ... us i.e. tax payers]

Apparently this is 1 count of unwanted physical contact and 3 counts of being in a state of undress.  The remainder appear to be “inappropriate sexual language and humour” and “culturally insensitive and racist comments”

[webpunter]

As if the bbc aren't incompetent enough they are yet to make a decision as to whether the next season already filmed will be shown
You cant make it up

They have a track record of aiding & abetting paedos & mysoginists

- Jimmy
- Phill
- Huw
- dancing on ice
- the repair shop
& now GW [bless him suffering from autism]

The bbc will find it difficult to edit out both presenters with Torode supposedly making one racist comment however long ago it was

There'll be a few more in the bbc shitting bricks over a racist comment perhaps they made when the culture was different

Next it will be the trans lot desperately trying to remember if they've been on the receiving end

Torode now sacked for one offence of racism.

Torode now sacked for one offence of racism.

Seems unduly harsh. Without knowing just what he said it's hard  for the public to judge but probably not that outrageous by most people's standards.  Apparently he did promptly apologise.

It won't be easy for the Beeb to find a replacement with Torode's presence. Could be the death knell for Masterchef.

If so, great shame.

He didn't apologise, he claims he didn't say it:

He said he had "absolutely no recollection of any of this" and that he "did not believe that it happened," adding that "racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment".

Notwithstanding that Torode should have been sacked for his pronunciation of the word “pasta”, the person reporting the alleged comment said that it wasn’t meant maliciously and they weren’t offended.  One wonders why they even brought it up.

One would also note that Alan Sugar made his Twitter post comparing the Senegal team to a bunch of guys selling knock off goods on the beach around the same time (7 years ago).  Will The Apprentice now be cancelled too?

Its the wokey bbc
Trying to show that they are doing something
Whilst the reality is that they have harboured & helped paedos / mysoginists [as i have mentioned] they hide whats happening & deflect

They're nearly as good as the Royal Family at protecting paedos
Tho as they are accountable when it comes to finances [& not a lot else] they were unable to spend multi millions in legal fees & payoffs to silence people [ooh some of it went to charity paid to someone that Randy Andy didnt even meet no less  ]
There is one thing in common with the BBC & Royal Family - their dubious activities are both paid for by us -  licence fee & tax payers respectively 

One would also note that Alan Sugar made his Twitter post comparing the Senegal team to a bunch of guys selling knock off goods on the beach around the same time (7 years ago).  Will The Apprentice now be cancelled too?

Accuse a Lord of racism this isnt gonna happen in a month of sundays
The Apprentice needs to be cancelled
A bit like an Amstrad tower stereo - brilliant when it first came out & now is looking very dated
Well beyond its sell by date, just like the BBC
They need to move to a fee paying service [edit: or adverts] rather than licence fee & maybe they won't bollox around with all their wokey one sided political bollocks
Expect more of the same "we'll learn from this blah blah" heads wont roll & things will continue as is
Whichever Govt is in power wont want to promote the end of the BBC as currently as is, as they know they'll get slaughtered on TV & the BBC's website

Often the case the person who reports whatever it is feels offended
Even though nothing to do with them directly
Tho they feel like they are the victim, well in their own minds
In today's blame culture, always blaming someone else pretty much all round loser looking for excuses
You know the type insignificant doesn't get much if any attention & have fuck all else to do in their lives
If they were a normal person they'd be too busy getting on with their own lives
They're not & want their own [very brief] moment in the limelight
If a female could be a m-netter RBF munter
& if male i'd wager a metrosexual highly strung etc
The person who it was said to has confirmed it wasn’t meant maliciously and they weren’t offended
Yet the BBC choose to take a different view, the supposed moral high ground
As an organisation they couldn't be further from this
What they say & what they do are two completely different things

under employment law, an employer is responsible for ensuring a safe and harassment free etc envoronment. So someone "not directly related" to something can still feel offended - for example if two work colleagues are talking between themselves but in an open environment and using bad or offensive language (including racist) then they have a legitimate complaint and the employer has a legal duty / responsiblilty to take appropriate action. The fact that the person concerned has said that they were not offended by the comment shows that it was made!

although this wasn't a direct employer/emplyeee situation the same principles apply - and as i understand it, the BBC hasn't sacked him but rather chosen not to renew his contract. Two different things.

Many years ago, I had to do some mandatory diversity training, and an example given was one of  police officers who participated in a secret Santa within their team - one of them bought a Muslim colleague a bottle of alcoholic drink. The recipient found it genuinely funny, unfortunately, an onlooker didn't and reported it - instant disciplinary, and, after due process, dismissal.

I'm no Lawyer, but surely if they were having a meeting regarding work, it automatically becomes as "work setting"?
Either way, I. guess that's why they went down the line of not renewing, rather than dismissal. Presumably, if they don't commission another series of Masterchef the job he was contracted for no longer exists.

An Oz forum suggested it was some banter about ATSI and indigenous Australians, and the common riposte about immigrants descended from criminals is taken in good humour but if repeated elsewhere is misunderstood by other English-speaking people. I don't know much about the show, preferring Alton Brown's style who would make a good presenter for Master Chef.

The bbc might find themselves in a tricky position with regards to "singing along to Kanye West's Gold Digger"
Given they have a track record of protecting paedos & mysoginists
A herculean effort until things come out in the wash & then they say that they didn't know what was going on 
Well they should have done !
How long did the bbc keep spending licence fee payers money paying Huw for after they had a very good idea what he'd been doing ? + a pension
The usual bollox about protecting their supposedly vulnerable staff
What about the vulnerable kid who he paid £30k to [was it more  ]
Soon as they found out like 99% he should be binned - plus numerous compliants from women ignored brushed over
One of the nations supposed favouries, just like Phill 
They should be telling Huw to off you fuck & if you want any more money sue us, good luck with that
Meanwhile one bloke on the programme for two decades has a sing along [supposedly] & its spanish archer
It could be a bit more than this, who knows meanwhile the bbc carry along fucking up lots of other stuff with consumate ease 
And we licence fee payers keep paying them to do this
The bbc know that after the Post Office [which the Govt own] they are next to bomb proof

[DastardlyDick]

I think we can all agree they the BBC has a lot of serious issues about many things. However, most of their content (except the News) is made by Independent production company's so their ability to monitor on set behaviour is rather limited, and in Wallace's case seems to have taken place in what could be considered a non work environment.
This is not to say that I condone bad behaviour in any way, but why aren't the production Company's also being vilified for their apparent inaction?
