Schofield
I am confused.
Why is this a scandal? Is he a peodophile (Phil, I know about his brother)? Was his partner underage? Why are the partner's photos blurred? Why is the partner's name secret? Is there a double injunction? Most of the time, I use NordVPN and of course, I can see photos and the name of the parner, his new job etc BTW I do not watch TV, and this occupies acres of news |
Re: Schofield
I don’t know. He and Holly Wobbly were supposedly best buds and fronted a powerhouse TV show well known and loved by many (not me as it happens). Them falling out is a tabloid story in itself. Mostly it seems said tabloids have been wanting to hang him out to dry over this for years but the agency he was with is very influential and rather good at keeping scandal off the front pages where it involves any of its high-profile clients. They have parted ways and it is now open season on Phil.
He was obviously very chummy with this young protege long before the boy became a man, and has been forced to make clear that nothing sexual occurred before said boy became a man. But the tabloids love any insinuation of sexual impropriety and have gone at it with enthusiasm. It’s not at all hard to see the name and photos of the young man. He’s all over Twitter, regardless of whatever self-censorship the British press may have adopted. But I still don’t know who he is, nor do I really care. |
Re: Schofield
It's tabloid crap, which makes it strange some of the more serious newspapers have also led with it. Probably just to distract from the real issues atm and the dire state the country is in. Plus a bit of homophobia always goes down well with the masses.

Re: Schofield
I’m more inclined to believe the media apparatus have been turning a blind eye, as it often does, when one of the establishment behaves in a way that’s beneath normal standards. That’s not to say he did anything illegal, but ITV’s pretence they didn’t know or have suspicions isn’t fooling anyone.

The implications being, if this was a man in his late 50’s doing this with a 16yr old girl, well ……say no more. It’s also alleged that it is the affair with this teenager, as he would have been a few years ago, that forced Schofield to come out, of which he was lauded for being so “brave” by everyone. Even though he was a razors edge away from noncing it. So those that claim “nope” and nothing to see here, are collegiate in the study of wilful blindness. |

Re: Schofield
I had seen things suggesting that Matt was associated with him from the age of 10 via the theatre group.
But then that might well be a "nothing to see here" moment because it's common for celebrities to associate themselves with grass roots activities in the performing arts sector. They might well have been aware of each other but not necessarily any overly concerning direct contact. What is known is that they were in contact on social media when the lad had just turned 15, but again, was this on a mentoring basis? From what I've seen the lad was a talented actor who wanted to be a TV presenter - in a lot of this it's being in the right place at the right time and having contacts who can facilitate a break. Knowing a national TV presenter who can get you a way into opportunities when you're old enough ... If they then started a relationship when the lad was 18 this is perfectly legal though concerning on grounds of the age gap. But if there's no evidence there was any grooming nothing to see here at all, if they had a close working relationship as colleagues which got a bit closer - again between consenting adults this isn't unusual either. It still strikes me there's the possibility he's groomed a (good-looking) young lad into a relationship as soon as they could but in reality such allegations are utterly unproven. But such is showbusiness that he's lost his job and probably won't get another similar because of it... the media seem to be intent on going on about it without saying a lot really. |
