There’s so many things to appreciate about Greg(g) Wallace’s PR but his defence that he’s met 4,000 women at work and only 13 have come forward is top level stuff. As if managing to keep the number of women you’ve sexually offended below 20 deserves a commendation and a pint. - ThreadSky

My dalliance with the world of pr seems to have come to an end. The press release I've issued on behalf my first client, a Mr Wallace seems not to helped as much as I'd hoped. I'm going back to driving a van tomorrow.

kfpm.bsky.social•167 days ago

Probably many more whom he annoyed, but haven't come forward.

themcvariations.bsky.social•166 days ago

It’s like ‘I’ve met thousands of people but I only murdered a few of them.’

idyll-dream2.bsky.social•165 days ago

And what else is he saying with that? "Well, I could have assaulted them all but I didn't!"

naomitatch.bsky.social•167 days ago

And just wild that he’s not grasping that, at the moment, it’s just “middle class women of a certain age” who feel comfortable to speak out due to the fact that they are middle class and of a certain age!Plenty more will later on, I’m sure!!

umptybollox.bsky.social•167 days ago

Well said Frances, I particularly like the Greg(g) 😂

francesryan.bsky.social•167 days ago

I try my best

maclure.bsky.social•166 days ago

That's a bit like Doctor Shipman using the fact that there were millions he hadn't killed as his defence.

malemet.bsky.social•166 days ago

Well they did say he was an excellent doctor. Very caring...

holduphalf.bsky.social•167 days ago

Can’t believe there are no males who have been offended by Greg(g)?

malemet.bsky.social•166 days ago

I did hear one guy say how intimidating it all was but I didn't catch his name. I've got a feeling most of these shows are nasty behind the scenes.

debswithcats.bsky.social•167 days ago

And they are mostly middle class women of a certain age 🤦‍♀️

And the Andy Windsor award for image management goes to…..,

johanrob77.bsky.social•166 days ago

There is a bit of the sociopath about Gregg. The only thing that bothers him is that it's going to materially alter his financial circumstances. If he was concerned in the slightest he would attempt an apology.

paddymcnally.bsky.social•167 days ago

Quite so. My thoughts exactly.

jff1.bsky.social•166 days ago

What's worse is that many complained at the time the inappropriate behaviour occurred and he'd been spoken about this to a couple of times.

ghish.bsky.social•165 days ago

Brilliant post 👏👏👏

scouserinlancs.bsky.social•166 days ago

Ending violence against women and girls will never be achieved unless people like him are held to account for their actions

geedubya.bsky.social•167 days ago

Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t there only a small number of women making claims against Al-Fayed *initially*????

wxmbloke.bsky.social•166 days ago

Jimmy Saville etc etc.

wxmbloke.bsky.social•166 days ago

I'm surprised that he didn't cut out age and class and just leave gender.

mrc-qpp62.bsky.social•165 days ago

These men think they are entitled to freely access, lease or faux-lovingly persuade any female within their sphere of influence to make their bodies available. There are principled women who refuse to cooperate and, unfortunately, there are others that oblige, and so encourage the practice.

venetiacaine.bsky.social•167 days ago

I thought that when you were in a hole you were meant to stop digging.

h-danvers.bsky.social•166 days ago

He's asking for a bigger shovel.

execrable.bsky.social•167 days ago

I presume his argument is not this but rather that if he was as bad as people report then out of 4,000 people why have only 13 complained? Either way his argument or your inference are specious. Neither destined to impress.

xrgpsandelders.bsky.social•167 days ago

I can see this running for a while. He just doesn't get it. Did he think the Me Too movement was for other men, not him?

lindsayduff.bsky.social•167 days ago

Noteworthy that none of the 3,987 women reportedly not offended by him have been approached for or have volunteered positive testimony of their experience of meeting Mr Wallace... You'd have thought that there'd be *someone* who liked him among that number.

alisonkc.bsky.social•166 days ago

If there ever was a classic condemning yourself from your own mouth, this is it.

“What, only 13 in 20 years!”

john-baker.bsky.social•167 days ago

A bit

Exactly my thought. “I did everything perfectly correct. Apart from when I didn’t.”

robbosleftpeg.bsky.social•167 days ago

When your in a hole it tends to be better to stop digging.

He can do a cooking show with Lozza Fox and that obnoxious church guy.

I'm game.

malemet.bsky.social•166 days ago

Shows what people are prepared to put up with.

parkinjim.bsky.social•167 days ago

It's also "only those most secure and who would be least intimidated by my wealth and influence have come forward. So who are you to believe, a mere 13 witnesses (who are all women) or reliable ol' me? Obviously I'm the more credible.

mrleekynaston.bsky.social•165 days ago

Laughing at how you put that second g in brackets! Just realised I spelt his name wrong in a previous post and I know he hates that! 😂

larochecs.bsky.social•166 days ago

Quotas

jimllmixit.bsky.social•167 days ago

Ah... the old, 'I may be a cunt, but I'm not a fucking cunt' defence.

weremensh.bsky.social•166 days ago

Almost, but not quite. Less than 20 have come forward to complain, in the face of a culture that tends to punish coming forward rather harder than sexual abuse. So half a pint at most.

rubyblubruno.bsky.social•160 days ago

Exactly! That's 13 more women that most men! And they're only the ones brave enough to come forward. As a victim myself, it is hard to admit even to yourself, let alone the general public.

giadagagliardi.bsky.social•165 days ago

When the me too movement started, I was embarrassed. I worked at a time when patting my ass was considered normal, when having comments passed about me in front of me was normal. Suddenly I felt like I really f’ed up and should have fought back. It took a while for me to get over that. Now Burn him

trisharoo2.bsky.social•165 days ago

I hear you- I used to think that these young girls just needed to toughen up and handle things better then I started to remember all the bullshit that happened to me and was normalized and a bell went off in my head

giadagagliardi.bsky.social•165 days ago

I felt ashamed that I didn’t think it was wrong, it just was what happened. Then I thought what the fuck have we normalized? I love these young woman and back them 200%. No one has a right to touch you without consent.

trisharoo2.bsky.social•165 days ago

Totally agree- I am so down for younger women and their refusal to put up with bad treatment. Sad that there is so much rising misogyny these days-sigh

giadagagliardi.bsky.social•165 days ago

I’m hoping it’s their last gasp…

neurallyuntypical.bsky.social•166 days ago

And a gold watch, or golden handshake, or shower
