I just briefly explained the PS-MM history to my 15 year old. All I said was that they first met when MM was 15, then he ‘somehow’ started working at ITV and then PS started sleeping with him.
I said PS says there was no grooming and it was all a consensual, adult relationship, and he’s very sorry now it’s public knowledge.
My son’s reaction?
“Yeah I bet he is now it’s public knowledge and he’s lost his job. No one’s buying it, are they?”
(My 15 year old does not identify as straight, btw, so there’s no homophobia in my house)
