Michael Barrymore - death in the pool

[gingrog]

I know this thread is regarding the documentary, but he's all over TikTok. It's like he's googled what mid to late teens are into and run with it. Wearing Stussy etc, making slime, playing Fortnite, doing bleeping Sephora hauls?! He obviously has a social media manager, but I find it really disturbing. You've got all people in the comments pouring over what a shame it is he was cancelled .... because a 70 year old man is making slime on a table in McDonald's. It's not wholesome, it's targeted and bleeping weird.

I've blocked him on TikTok because it kept coming up on my fyp and TikTok won't let me call him a murderer

I'm not a George Galloway Fan by any means but I loved the dressing down he gave Michael on CBB . I'll never forget Pete Burns just sitting there grinning like the Cheshire Cat

It makes my teeth itch. Posting all viral/meme stuff that my teenage niece and nephews are forever prattling on about. His followers think he's just this nice old man who smokes weed, plays Fortnite till 4am and posts memes about Drake lol. Absolute cringe.

Seriously and it’s so obviously not him replying to the comments as well. I did catch him on live one day tho and saw the mask slip slightly, just in some of his responses to people it was with that nasty edge that he always had but people were loving it.

He might be able to fool gen Z or alpha as they weren't around in his heyday/murky past. Us millennials and older don't forget though. Horrible man who doesn't deserve a platform

What's a Hot Spot Not

It is also easy to fool them as, on the whole, they are morons.

Hi I'm new to this thread, where can I find the podcast about the case?

This is what worries me about social media, your feed is so tailored to you personally, that no adults these children know, are aware of what they are consuming so can't counteract anything they're hearing with facts. It's how people like Andrew Tate gather speed with their awful philosophies. If Barrymore was back TV screens there would be a backlash because people my age and older know what he's done

Sure do you not remember last year when loads of young Americans started praising osama bin Ladin on tik tok. It just seems like they accept everything as gospel.
Barrymore was a great presenter to be fair, but what happened that night was a disgrace and he needs to be honest about.

He was terrible! Cruel and just took the piss all the time but in a nasty way.

 

[Zara zara]

He was so cringe I remember all my friends Moms loved him and that My kind of People His one liners "Alwight" oh duck off

 

[Beverley Macker]

He was a tit presenter that was nasty as duck to old people, and women in particular.

He was cruel and unkind to old ladies. He was an awful person well before that night and still is

 

[Grifty Mc]

Didn’t know about the old ladies. I’ve only really seen clips of him on that kids show and thought he was quite good- but he is a bleep so either way he needs to not be anywhere near the spotlight

 

[petitspois]

He deserves to be put in prison but also to for the public to see him as a two-bit cheap entertainer who had nothing but luck for a while. I think that would affect him more than being in jail tbh.
