BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Bad behaviour towards numerous women, apparently. Not sure how it ranks re the kind of allegations about Russell Brand, Greg Wallace, Shia Leboeuf, and others. Bit different in that his reputation rests mostly on being a popular children's author these days so there really is no coming back from it if the allegations are sordid, which they probably are or the press wouldn't be so interested in them.

The fact that it's the Guardian and ITN (not The Sun or an online news site etc) suggests there has been a decent degree of due diligence on the part of the investigative journalists.

Not to mention his "Hide the Sausage" bit on the Little Britain Tour... Which, weirdly isn't even the worst thing about that show.

Which makes me wonder if the individual has made the situation a lot worse for themselves. Everybody (most people) know who it is yet the details of the allegations are not widely known. And without detail some might be assuming offences similar to those Brand, et al. are accused of, but the Police do not appear to be investigating but bad enough for ITN & Guardian to investigate and go through courts so maybe people are assuming it's worse than it is or maybe not.

Maybe the severe impact on the individual relates to their more recent career and how such allegations might impact that.

When there is an information void, sometimes people can assume the worse scenarios.

Yes, unfortunate timing to coincide with the Brand trial might lead people to think it's more that type of allegation than the Gregg Wallace type. He likely has made things worse. Streisand effect and all that.

For the record, I wouldn't have known a thing about this "story" if it weren't for this thread.
Still don't care as it just seems like malicious gossip to me. At this stage.

Is that the Mark Ronson incident? That would have bordered on criminal had a complaint been made.
