Philip Schofield - It’s All Coming Out Now.

Genuine question - why is there an assumption he groomed the person?

I’ve not seen any evidence of that or a direct allegation from anyone actually involved or a suggestion of a police investigation/involvement.

The alleged super injunction (if it even exists) would not cover a criminal offence or prevent them speaking out about it or to the police.

It’s worth keeping in mind that this can work both ways. The term ‘sugar daddy’ was literally invented for this situation.

It’s probably best to hold off forming an opinion until the dust truly settles.

I agree with this but it may not settle for a while.
Which is also fine and doesn’t mean people should be jumping to conclusions now. Unlike the royal family, Schofield doesn’t have the sort of weight to keep this under wraps for ever so it will all come out eventually. What’s the rush?

Because he is gay and we live in a soceciety where it is still seen as a bad thing regardless how the media try and dress it up but yeah I know what you mean. No one blinked an eye at Hefner and his ladies which is kind of similar. They were all seen as gold diggers rather than being groomed.
 
The creepy thing about it imo (and maybe creepy isn't the right word) is the fact it wasn't just an affair; it was that he had an affair and came out as gay. I.e. biologically uninterested in this poor lass you've strung along for decades. Not the fact in itself of gayness...
What do think these people did before it was 'acceptable'?

Considering his age I think it would be weirder if he wasn't in a fake relationship trying to upkeep the establishment friendly, family values spiel.
 
Good job stripping out all context to make a point. :p

There is not yet any evidence they had an inappropriate relationship when the person was below the age of consent.

The two ‘knowing each other’ could range between they interacted with each other once and the person later reached out to Schofield to try and get into TV. Right the way through to they well what you guys are jumping to conclusions about.

Follow the evidence, not those who have an agenda or want the clicks… the former sometimes takes a bit of patience.
 
As far as I can see he had a relationship with a younger college. It wasn't illegal as this person wasn't a minor.

What's the issue then? Are we all writing him off as a nonce or pervert now?
 
Sorry am I missing something...but why does it matter what hes doing/done in his personal life.
It appears he has done nothing illegal, so I dont get it.
It's more complicated then just an older celebrity having an affair with a younger person. The implication is Schofield knew this person as a kid (11 years old) and met him while he was at drama school. Schofield then used his fame and status to groom the kid into becoming his dirty little secret.

The point you're making can be made to any news story in the world (wait until we know everything); surely you can get your head around why folk are speculating? Notable people close to it condemning, super injunctions, coming out as gay, the other party in close work proximity.......

Some people just prefer to play blind ignorance. No smoke without fire. The fact his 'best friend' has distanced herself completely and his agents have binned him immediately is alarm bells.
