There must have been a TIBB thread on it.

Yes a Great Find

Disgraced former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards has liked a LinkedIn post sympathising with the 'stressful' situation Scott Mills is facing.

The post made by celebrity crisis management expert Lauren Beeching suggested that the corporation had fueled speculation about the DJ by announcing he had been sacked over his 'personal conduct'.

Scott has made a Statement


[Mills said the announcement of his sacking had led
"to the publication of rumour and speculation".
The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in
2016 before closing it in 2019 after the
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
deemed there was insufficient evidence
to bring charges.

"Since the investigation related to an allegation
that dates back nearly 30 years and the
police investigation was closed seven years ago,
I hope that the public and the media will understand
and respect my wish not to make any
further public comment
on this matter,"
the former BBC Radio 2 presenter said.]

[The allegations, first published in the Mirror,
are reported to have happened
between 1997 and 2000, police said,
when Mills would have been in his mid-twenties.

On Monday, it was announced that the
former Radio 1 presenter had been
sacked by the BBC over allegations
related to his personal conduct.
The BBC has not given any further
details over the allegations and it is not
clear what, if any, role the police
investigation played in his sacking.

This breaking news story is being
updated and more details will be
published shortly.]

A part of me feels they’ve done this to distract from something/someone else.

Why have none of Mill's myriad of showbiz pals come out and backed him?

Probably because they know as much as we do about the whole thing, which isn’t a great deal.

But surely they would come out and say so, would your pals not?

I guess because it’s not been proven/disproven (even though the case was dropped) and it’s all still so unclear why BBC have fired him now they won’t yet in case there is more to the story. Plus if they work for the BBC they won’t want to run the risk of being the next axing.

He's been at it again ain't he.

I feel like the papers would have run with that already if that were the case.

But also, it hasn’t been proven anything even happened.

If he is guilty then it’ll come to light, but as of now he’s innocent.

But if he's done it already then he may not have been proven to be guilty...but will still be guilty.

Yes, but there’s no proof he has done anything. So until then he’s innocent.

Oh come on...that blacked out photo is his double.

The case was from 2018 and dropped due to insufficient evidence. That hasn’t proved him guilty, so he’s innocent until proven otherwise.

We can speculate though.

Which is why I think they have found out he's been at it again now Mr Google is taking over.

Of course you can speculate but he’s still innocent until proven otherwise. I’m unsure what you mean Mr Google is taking over as I can’t see any reports which suggest they are looking into anything.

I can’t agree ,the police thought there was a criminal case to answer to but the cps decided there was enough evidence
There was enough doubt from the police investigation that he was not innocent to push for a criminal charge

Parm has a weird fetish that gay men are peadophiles. I’d take what he says with as much intent as you would a three year old talking gibberish.

The police had to investigate the case as somebody came forward with claims. Doesn’t mean they thought it happened. The case was closed as the police found insufficient evidence to bring any charges.

No, the police presented a file of evidence to the cps they said it did not meet the threshold of evidence needed for them to agree to the police to charge him
