I'm glad we are finally entering a society where 'banter' is no longer an acceptable excuse for bad behaviour. It's about time the Greg's (stick your 2nd G up your arse) of the world learned that you don't get away with dismissing women to little more than sexual objects, and humiliating and degrading them for your pleasure, just because you haven't physically done anything. Mental trauma is no less valid than any other variety. I have no doubt every woman here has at least 50 tales of their experiences with men like this. He's always come across as a sleazy prick, if reports like this come out about you and noone is surprised, that tells you everything you need to know.
I will say though, it absolutely is relevant that he was abused as a child and dismissed by his mother, which seems to have set off a lifetime if neediness and feeling unloved and desperate. It is also relevant if he is on the spectrum, to understand if there's a lack of awareness of social cues etc - or just blatant narcissism and disregard for others. What neither does though is justify his behaviour, but it is really important we look into the history of people like Greg - so we know what needs to change to try and prevent it in the future, or give people the help they need to be better in life.
Thoroughly agree with you here. Greg does come across as needy but also full of himself, he thinks he's God's gift but I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. I've always thought he was
odd and didn't like him, couldn't put my finger on why though.
Does anyone else remember Harry Hill's programme years ago (TV Burp?) where he ripped the piss out of Wallace every week, then a few weeks later Wallace is on the programme sitting there looking ecstatic whilst Harry is taking the piss out of him?? Cringe.
The comments that have got on my nerves this week though have been the usual.....
this is unfair, it's a pile on, remember Caroline Flack.... where was people's outrage over grooming gangs...... it's only banter, stop being woke..... why did people wait 14 years to come out with this?
I honestly cannot believe that the BBC have let him behave this way for so many years, what the
duck goes on there? They knew all this and they let it go on AGAIN. Who is still to be exposed, because there's got to be others?
Wallace told one woman she was handling a fish like a 'rapist doing foreplay'. That's not banter or acceptable AT ALL. He's said he's on the spectrum and was getting his friends to speak to the media last weekend to remind them of that but it's no excuse. He's a grown man trying to get out of trouble so he's fully aware of what he does IMO.
I can't see this marriage lasting long. He must be like a caged animal at home not able to get out and be a sex pest. His wife must have known what he was like so I'm not sure I can sympathise, sorry to say but she's never looked the full ticket to me. I bet he really thought last weekend that blaming 'middle class women of a certain age' would turn it all around and he'd be back on TV before he knew it which just shows what an appalling thought process he has.
His 3rd and 4th wives he met through twitter after they tweeted him. I bet his private messages on twitter would be an eye opener, he must have been messaging women left, right and centre to meet up.
Last word is for Greg's lawyers who says he does not sexually harass women. Projection, much? I would say the people suffering their client's pathetic behaviour get to decide whether it was sexual harassment. The fact they mentioned sexual harassment says it all.
