His victims thought they were fans, bamboozled by fame and grooming - he made them feel special.

chilling

(not saying phil is a paedo but its very convcerning)

The OP is making several wild accusations with no proof. :shrug:

This. :facepalm:

The internet was swarming with "Schofield drooling over Holly makes my skin crawl" type comments and now he's come out as gay suddenly he likes young boys. People are sickening.

Using Jimmy Saville as a source of humour? :umm2:

if you see humour in what i posted then im afraid i would worry for you

:umm2:

I don't see humour. I see your attempt at humour. Extremely poor one at that.

Unless you're now suggesting it was a serious comment, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Are you going to string up all the grown adult celebrities who respond to simple questions from their teenage fans on social media and accuse them all of paedophilia without a shred of proof?

The guy has said, he was a fan, Phil responded a few times, nothing untoward or even slightly obtuse, he was literally just bigging himself up by saying a celeb was on his TikTok. Just the usual media who love to slam people have made an issue of it. Comparing an apparent innocent exchange between a fan and celeb to a sexual deviant like saville is pretty low in all honesty. His victims were actual victims of horrific crimes....likening an exchange on social media to what they went through at his hands is belittling their experience.

59 - 17 ???? Doesn't look good !!

Spot on Annie.

Clocked it appears :fan:

It's the digital age. I wrote every week to Noel Edmonds trying to swap my brother for a pair of roller boots on Multicoloured Swap Shop.... I actually received a signed photo after joining a fan club. I was 8, Noel was probably 40+ and had no idea I received the picture personalised to me and signed by him. I wasn't groomed, it was a a celeb (or someone employed by him) interacting with a fan...their bread and butter.

Exactly it's ridiculous

All those popstars grooming their teen fans. :eek:

I guess Sia is EFFED then ,seen as Maddie Ziegler has known her for years .

Grim

Are we pretending that Snapchat is a regular form of keeping in contact with fans? :unsure: It's pretty much only for sharing...ahem...personal photographs.

Edit: just seen Annie's post (hard to find facts in here x)... so what's the point of the story, then?

Yes quite a few ADULTS use it for sexual reasons, but not everyone is using Snapchat for that, some people just use it to text like WhatsApp or something . And as I keep saying we don't even know what was said in the messages.

For people to let their asses and their homophobia hang out, it seems.
