If police deem no crime, that should be the end of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did fund a young man's crack cocaine habit to the tune of 35 grand so he's not entirely blameless in the whole affair even if the intrusion has been massively OTT. *Edited due to the smarty pants below* Edited 12 July 2023 by Zear0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know full well what they were allegedly trying to imply. Edited 12 July 2023 by Sampson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 12 July 2023 Author Share Posted 12 July 2023 Is there any element of truth to such allegations, like messages etc., or is this someone (or their parent) trying to grab as much as they can from a household TV name?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 The Daily Mail is now talking about his "rise and fall" and his "inner turmoil". I hope he sues these evil bastards into oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 Maybe Huw is an innocent participant in this. Some years ago when my nieces were children I asked them about their likes and interests during a family visit. They both said that they were into an Irish boy band of the time who were well known although I had barely heard of them. So I got out the ipad and googled the name of the band as relayed to me. Suffice to say that the search results for Boy Zone weren’t quite what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 (edited) This came up on my Facebook feed earlier - it pretty much sums up what we're all up against, to me. Here is a story about The Sun. I tasted their vileness once. The Soup Dragons just came off months of supporting INXS in U.S and I stayed in touch with Michael who became a friend. When he died a few years later it was roughly around the time of the first album by my band The High Fidelity. Our PR said the Scottish Sun wanted to do a piece about the new band. I was against it but we were struggling to be heard in a fast changing digital World and it was decided to do an interview about ‘music’ for the ‘music’ page would reach millions. Yes I know we shouldn’t have. The journalist asked me one … just one question about Michael to which I replied I’m sorry but his death really upset me as he was one of the loveliest men I met in the music industry. That was it. Next few days the piece came out with literally paragraphs of stuff I did not say about Hutchence. Even a headline. Completely made up but cleverly written to not be libel. We tried to get a lawyer involved but was told there was no way we could afford to take on a lawyer against The Scum. I was advised to bury my head and try let it be ignored. It caused me huge anxiety and depression for years. Couldn’t hold my head up thinking people thought I said those things against someone I really respected. To this day it still upsets me. The fact we live in a country controlled by a newspaper who feels it’s right to literally write lies for money and destroy those around them is a joke. Liverpool did it. Time rest of the UK did it too. Edited 13 July 2023 by HighPeakFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone knows what he knew, aside Huw so can't say either way. The article had a quote from the guys step dad saying without the money there wouldn't be drugs. Whilst the individual involved is accountable, if someone was soliciting sexual content, however legal, that was funding my son's drug habit I'd not look favourably on the individual. As I said, the whole thing is rancid as it stinks of the Caroline Flack affair and the way it's been handled publicly is disgusting and proves we've either not learn from that, or the print media don't care. All I'm trying to articulate is that, like most things nowadays, it's turned into a binary "nothing wrong"/"burn him at the stake". He's been raked through the mud by the most disgusting rag this nation has, but that doesn't stop me thinking what he's done, to put it kindly, extremely creepy and inappropriate.

Paid for some porn and messaged some guy on onlyfans. Sent a sweary message to some other guy threatening to out him as gay. May be wrong but pretty sure that’s about it in terms of what we know publicly. Not even accusations of doing anything with anyone or having an affair afaik.

Super_horns Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 (edited) Would it have been easier to name him earlier to avoid such strong speculation and distress for all BBC presenters?

Depends whether or not he knew the lad was a drug addict and that’s where the money was being spent. There’s something a bit odd about paying for porno pictures when it’s all free on the net.

Ironically it should just be a private matter but the young person's parents put paid to that. Not to victimise the parents, but I suggest they look closer to home for issues within as opposed to pointing the finger at Huw Edwards. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
