Wasn't it PS who got him and Ruth kicked off TM?! Quite glad to see EH drag the little pipsqueak
He knows this and so does anyone defending him. It's very disingenuous but very on brand.Homophobia?
Are you have a bleeping laugh, it’s anything but. People have turned against the bleep because he groomed a young vulnerable gay/bi man/boy!
It's the only defense/protection angle he can (ab)use, shameless man.He’s so wrong about the homophobia angle because had MM been female he’d have been cancelled for good and there would have been NO coming back at all. The backlash would have been worse, if anything he’s got off lightly because MM is male.
Think EH can expect a call from Schofe's lawyers both sides are going to have to offer proof whether MM was underage or not.
For Eamonn to be boldly making these statements, and the GB News outlet to be allowing him to say these things unhindered...Eamonn on GB News just now... "Well if I'm one of the people that threw him under the bus I'm very proud to have done it and protected children, people who are underage. And people seem to be forgetting this and they're making it out to be one situation, one kiss, one relationship. Believe it if you want, fine, but I think he is where he deserves to be, in exile." "Why do we keep going back to this it's not illegal? So he furtles with an underage boy, and you can work out when this started or not, there's all sort of talk as to when this relationship started, but you know coming on, this man is addicted to fame. Funny nobody is gonna put Huw Edwards on a desert island and say tell us about your experiences but they will put Phillip Schofield on." When asked how the young man is going to feel having this show on tonight, Eamonn said "I'll tell you later, got to go to the weather"...
Eamonn and Ruth were close to MM and I think they probably know more about what went on
Apologise for what? He is the only one who should be apologising for anything! If he said he’d never work for ITV again why does he care if he’s blacklisted or not?It literally like watching a car crash in slow motion. Not content with ruining his own career, now it looks like he’s going to drag the daughter down with him. Imagine being a naive 20 odd year old in a job that daddy helped you to get, going into a meeting with one of the biggest broadcasters in the U.K. begging them to take daddy back and not only that but GIVE HIM A bleeping APOLOGY! A broadcaster who lost millions I bet when queue gate happened and all the rest of this tit came tumbling out. A broadcaster who had to conduct a bleeping enquiry to see what happened and to make sure they were in the clear legally.
Narcissism must run in families. Hiring your own daughter as your PR because no one else would touch you. Molly the nepo baby thinking she can come to the rescue and save his career.
Begs the question as to why you would need your daughter to do your PR if as he says he’s accepted his career has finished. As someone has said above, he hasn’t deleted his Twitter. He came off insta for a bit before posting again recently, I reckon he genuinely believes he can stage a comeback. That or his ego can’t cope with deleting his socials where he can pretend he was a much loved broadcaster but the truth is now he is a pariah.
Tonight we are going to be a nation agog at this utter arrogance. See you tonight tattlers, I’ll bring the popcorn!
I fear it won't but I really hope I'm wrongI hope that this backfires so spectacularly on him, that the sparks will be visible from outer space.
He’s a manipulative little tit. The fact that he is so heavily involving his daughter in all this just goes to show it.
All the suicidal nonsense was just to keep the two daughters on shifts watching him. It meant the wife and daughters were limited in how much they could criticise him during that time. He was buying himself thinking time.
Now we find out that he sent his daughter to ITV asking for an apology. She worked for a PR firm, sensitivity-wise it would have made sense for her to sit it out when the tit hit the fan, but no, Phil sent her in…hoping that having her there would pressure ITV into treading more carefully.
Now we also find out that his daughter has left her job to become his personal, independent PR manager. So she had a perfectly decent career and has either thrown it in the can or been pushed out because she (he) wants things that can’t be provided by that company.
Riddle me this….if he’s done with Tv, in his 60s and essentially ready to retire..why would he need any kind of PR at all? Especially not a full-time employee?
Answer…he’s making her dependent on him for her future, he’s making the wife play nice in order not to upset the daughter(s), he’s ‘working’ not because he is fame hungry…but because he needs to keep his daughter employed. It’s all about the manipulation of his family and keeping them loyal.
This castaway nonsense is just because he can’t bare to just retire with a little grace, although generally the public felt his affair was wrong…the level of media witch-hunt did give him some public sympathy.
If I was his PR, the options would be retiring, doing some good publicly to build a better reputation, or doing some very low rate presenting work such and local news or an online channel to build up that he has a genuine work ethos and is not just after big pay checks at the major channel.
The whole island thing is just pure publicity stunt, and the public will see right through it. No-one cares about his being on the island, it’s not an exploration of being alone in that scenario (like it was then Joanna Lumley did it)…it’s just a contrived scenario to give him an excuse to talk into the camera without anyone talking back to him. The viewers will be watching purely to see if it’s a car crash.
Aside from public opinion that some feel he was excessively hounded over this affair, I think that is just empathy, I don’t think he has any element of the public who are actually ‘fans’. Anyone who wanted to get near him (as per the young employee who he had the affair with) were just trying to get into tv or close to fame and his contacts. His ‘friends’ are essentially the tv has-beens such as Vanessa Feltz, people who may not even be genuine but are happy for any excuse that gets themselves photographed and into the tabloids.
I’ve never been convinced either by Stef. She’s not spoken out, doesn’t appear to have left him or at the very least they are still being seen in public together and also, the daughters don’t seem that bothered that he’s cheated on their mother…and although Phil has referenced the effect on his wife…it’s like an afterthought. There were rumours of him being gay since 1980s/1990s, Stef knew, she just liked the money and status of being his wife. I’d also put money on the daughters knowing years ago as well. He might not have told her about his affairs, but she turned a blind eye for sure.
