John Barrowman

There was an article in this weeks Private Eye saying that Chris Evans (ginger one not Hollywood) had also been known to wave his ‘sometimes erect penis’ at women and one went off sick due to this but it got swept under the rug as he now works for Virgin radio who are owned by the Sun owners... says a lot really.

Billie Piper really does have appalling taste in men! Evans, Lawrence Fox and Noel Clarke (allegedly). Hope her new fella is better!
 
Think that Noel was labouring the point because he was disgusted about it, but none of his colleagues were. I think he wanted the behaviour highlighted, but nobody took it seriously (because it’s John and he is lovely!). He might have also had the Barrowman treatment himself. A photo, a plonker on his shoulder, a flash or two.

Ironical, seeing as he is accused of worse, arguably.

An odd profession, where normal workplace rules do not apply it seems.
 
I saw an interview with John Barrowman a few years ago where he mentioned being at the US version of University. If I remember correctly, he and a load of mates booked a prostitute (or stripper I can't quite remember) and then all lay on their backs on the floor. The prostitute went round, knicker less and basically sat on all their faces. He thought it was hilarious. It makes me feel sick just typing this, but having previously loved him (I love Torchwood), I went so off him, I still shiver when I see him or even hear his name.

I suppose this would be described as tomfoolery too. I describe it as something entirely different. I don't care if the woman was paid to do this. It's the treatment of a woman as an object and the complete humiliation of her. If I found out my partner had done this, I would not be ok about it.

Thank you 😆
I got lucky, I joined this site to post on the Jack Monroe threads, one of the things she’s known for buying lots of expensive sideboards (despite claiming to be poor), and posing on them. I couldn’t believe no one else had already used the name!

Back to Barrowman, I saw on Twitter that people were saying that because there were no complaints at the time, he shouldn’t be cancelled.

But I think it’s good that it’s being made clear that what he done is never acceptable in any workplace. Before, when he and his castmates joked and laughed about it, it gave the impression that is was ok or just a laugh, but it really is disgusting. I see it as a form of harassment.

I don't know how you got the vibe that Noel was disgusted by it, he was smirking and constantly making a joke of it, even towards the other female members there, why would he do that if he found it distasteful? If I was recounting a story of something I found extremely unpleasant I wouldn't be making light of it with hand gestures and constantly going back to it when it was clear everyone wanted to move on. You don't challenge unpleasant behaviour by making a mockery of it around the people who experienced it, whilst making them relive it unless you get a kick from that. Personally I think he found it hilarious, no doubt because they are cut from the same cloth, or atleast a similar one.

I got homophobic vibes from watching that. There's no way noel can be disgusted with crude behaviour if he was doing crude stuff himself.

I kind of felt the same. And he basically said that straight guys would wish they could get away with it. WTF?! I mean speak for yourself Noel, maybe I’m naive but none of the men I know, gay or straight, would want to do that.
