Of Course It may Not Be Him

I don't get it what did the comedian in question do that's illegal wasn't the boy 18?

I don't think they're saying that having a relationship was illegal are they?

From what I've gathered he just took advantage of a naive person, got him involved in some illegal activities (drugs etc), treated him appallingly resulting in his suicide.

But I could be wrong. Of course the Daily Mail are using it to emphasise the gay angle.

did you read the allegations on the DM story. sordid, vile?

My bad I didn't notice the read more bit in the op.

Poor boy. This story is just heartbreaking.

he was vulnerable...

looks like S K A

arrest this scumbag

may be Stephen K Amos


And if his Agent is looking

It may not be him.

Hey if Barrymore can get away with bodies bobbing about in his pool I'm guessing whoever it is will be on the next CBB.

Why has no one mentioned Michael Barrymore.

I know from personal experience that guys a ****ing perv!

It doesn't look like Barrymore in the picture.

True actually I just noticed the picture, that's definitely a black man.

I didn't know ska was gay, must have missed that one.

HAHAHA OMFG

Because he was not on the Facebook Link
like SKA

:eek:

ben's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes B94

It was him then! :eek:

i just realised that it made me sound incredibly racist omfg

I'm a bit unclear about this whole thing. Someone was treated badly and committed suicide. The fact that the person who treated them badly was famous means... what? It means that their career can be ended by the media in a way that would never happen if he was, say, a banker or a dustman. If he wasn't famous, I wonder if the word "groomed" would have been used, with or without inverted commas.

I think it's more than that, Livia. Something serious must have happened for the boy to feel suicidial.

How do you know that though? People are filling in the gaps in the story with their own imagination. And once again I ask, would it be in the media if the person involved wasn't famous, and why is the word "grooming" being used.
