3mins report on his affair with the younger lad.

"Report"?

[Liam-]

So he gives a job to a student of the academy he’s a patron for, nobody bats an eyelid, but he comes out as gay and suddenly he’s a predator? And people wonder why people still find it hard to come out when attitudes like this exist in the ‘most tolerant country in the world’ jfc

And before anyone says anything, Homophobia was still a big thing when I was in Primary School/early High School years (for any Americans reading this thread) so what Homophobia was like 27 years ago must've been rough.

Also if we're all being honest, Homosexuality still has a silent Homophobic base in the country so no wonder Philip was scared to come out 27 years ago.

Well said Mock.

Not to mention bigoted accusations of paedophilia that will be promoted even now.

I don't know whether this is true or not, this is just what I've read today.

Yes more should be out on Monday papers

I dealt with the posts

If you want to report a post (and this goes for all of you) then report it and ignore, by quoting posts and replying with baiting or insulting comments it causes arguments, thread derailments and gives us more to clean up.

If I need to keep clearing arguments, insults etc I'm closing the thread.

Back on topic. Thanks

I really don't get why people on the Internet make baseless accusations about Celebrities, if they ever made these comments on Social Media these members would get into serious legal trouble.

I'm not meaning to be militant, but no society will ever accept Slander (openly anyway) and like you've said Twosugars this accusation towards Philip is potentially promoting dislike towards gay people.

For the record I don't believe Phil had done anything wrong in terms of under age sex. I think he is far to driven to put his status at risk for a quick bunk up.

I think its very sad the way his wife's feelings are being dismissed in all of this (even if she did know 'for a while' she found out at some point, and it probably came as a shock), and how she has is being referred to very disappointing.

....I don’t feel that his wife’s feelings are being dismissed in any way at all...I think that it’s just not being assumed as to what her feelings are, other than so far she’s expressed support for him...

Are they being dismissed, though? She hasn't made any statement about how she's feeling, publicly has been supportive. Of course that MAY not be the case behind closed doors, but until she says otherwise there's nothing to say? In fact it would be quite disrespectful to her to say "Well I know you're saying one thing, but I personally believe you must really secretly be devastated and I feel sorry for you".

If she WAS to state that she's been left devastated and everyone was still celebrating Philip whilst ignoring her feelings, that would be a completely different scenario...

But that hasn't happened. Currently, people think she needs help and support because THEY think she "must" be feeling a certain way. It's just projection. "Well I would feel _____, so..."

Absolutely fine it would appear

She has not personally expressed support, we only have Phils word for that, and his word isn't worth much tbh, maybe I missed it, do you have a link?

Her silence doesn't bode well, while everyone is clapping Phil on the back and saying what he is done is great for HIS mental health, maybe Steph and her family will turn out on DOI in a show of family solidarity, I hope so

...and this......the first reaction that we would usually have if it were our own circle of friends ..(...or I would...)...would be...’how do you feel...’..?...unless I had already been made aware of that from them...without that, there is no starting point to make any assumptions...other than what’s she’s said, which is expressing her love and support ...

again do you have a link where she has expressed this personally?

[Ammi]

...Philip indicated her support in his statement, I believe...it would be so easy for Steph to dispute it as a false statement if it was indeed so...

[AnnieK]

One of his daughters have tweeted publicly, would she have done that if her mum was struggling too much? It won't be easy for Steph....even if she has got her head round it, nothing will have changed for her, she will still love him in exactly the same way. Its a sad situation but I think I personally would want to know, yes sooner rather than later but I would still want to know.

But it's her truth to tell, not other people's to assume? "She hasn't said anything so we'll assume she's in a bad place". Like I said I think it's mainly projection; people thinking "Well if that happened to me I'd feel X, Y, Z, so she must feel X, Y, Z."

Easily confused with actual empathy I suppose.

I think her side of the story will no doubt come to the forefront at some point so might as well let it, rather than essentially "guessing".

I agree with this.

It's certainly not for other people to say he or she have "wasted" 27 years of their lives. I think that's for them to decide.

[Ammi]

...all we can do is to have thoughts and opinions on the story that we know atm...which is the interview and the statement...and those indicate atm that he has huge support from his wife and daughters...that’s all we know ...that’s doesn’t dismiss his wife at all, it just doesn’t assume anything for her...let her ‘add or dispute’ etc the story, when and if she wishes to..

Well, they had two kids that they both adore and created a 4 strong family that clearly mean the world to each other so I doubt they’d consider it a waste at all.

Yes Big Cash with the Daily Mirror
or Daily Mail.

And Phil will fight his corner from The Sun.


The Star will take the piss

[thesheriff443]

Yes let’s all believe someone who has been lying for 27 years and was even asked in the nineties was his marriage a cover up for him being gay.

Probably been jacking off to gay porn in the garden shed for years, don’t let that stop a lot of you on here singing his praises. And how brave he has been.
