Huw Edwards - 6 month suspended sentence (pg 107)

[KPXBLN]

that's fake

Yeh I know that was my point. Deleted the post though because I couldn’t be arsed getting into it, no pun intended

The ONLY people who have claimed he spent £35k on this person are the family who have already seen most of their story debunked.

Also, i find it interesting that people think this is somehow worse than porn given the level of exploitation and lack of safe guarding that historically existed in the porn industry. At least on stuff like OnlyFans, the people selling content can have a hell of a lot more agency over what they want to do and keep a much higher cut of the money (unless of course they're being trafficked/forced like in the Andrew Tate story).

At this point, nobody really knows what has happened outside of the fact it seems that Huw Edwards purchases sexual content online. That in of itself isn't a big deal. Anything else around ages, amounts of money, what the money was spent on is all heresay at the moment and the worst of it has either already been debunked or come from people who don't seem to be of great character themselves.

That pretty much sums it up.

Half this thread seems to have been taken over by the Bluemoon equivalent of the Saudi Arabian morality police.

He stands accused of

- spending a ridiculous amount of money on one sexual content provider - which people don't do purely for photos, they do so for attention and because of a level of obsession - and the ridiculous lack of judgement this suggests

- breaking lockdown rules to meet someone else he gave monetary gifts after meeting on a dating site

- communicating with others he met on dating sites, presumably not with the intention of learning about their thoughts on the latest developments regarding Brexit

None of this seems to have been denied.

All of this whilst married and therefore, at best, living a double life to some degree, at worst, deceiving his family.

And all the other people he has been involved with are approximately a third his age.

If you think that isn't newsworthy and that the fact that some people involved aren't some sort of saintly figure makes it all nonsense .... well, that is mental and not living in the real world.

Such things have always been considered newsworthy and people involved in them - whilst I don't make a moral judgement on them - know this when they engage in them. Celebrities or not.

He's taken big risks and, unfortunately for him, been caught out. The consequence, and one of the downsides to all the huge benefits he gets by being a public figure, is being in the news.

He would not (or should not, at least) be in the news for "watching porn".

The amount of money, if it's even true, is irrelevant. Lucky for him he can afford it. As for people's reasons for buying sexual content online, as far as I know that's just speculation on your part, unless you have special insight you wish to share. Either way, again, it's none of our business, as is his marriage and the fact he was 'communicating with others he met on dating sites.'

So that leaves you with breaking lockdown rules.

You are living on another planet if you were/are of the belief that it wouldn't be newsworthy.

I guarantee that Huw Edwards, Kyle Walker, Phillips Schofield and the countless other celebs that have made the papers for unwise relationships or sexual behaviour in the past were absolutely aware at the time of the risk of it being discovered and being in the news.

The calculation they take - which they have every right to - is that the risk of being caught is worth less than the acts they are undertaking. And that is their choice to make.

Millions of non celebs do the same, risking their marriegds, careers, reputations, etc - just without the media factor.

We make judgement, we take chances, we pay the consequences if caught. That's life. Not a moral judgement. We just all know that's the likely outcome when engaging in behaviour that we deem something that we want to keep anyone else from knowing because it is not compatible with our day to day life.

However, it seems that none of the others celebs had a queue of people keen to tell everyone how it should not be reported.

Where were the Kyle Walker defenders, desperately to consider his privacy and portray him as a cuddly individual who might have a complex private life? The media reaction was that he was/is a dickhead who had been caught out.

Newsworthy? No, it isn't newsworthy.

The fact that the British gutter press considers it worth their while to write about it is another matter.

The allegations against Edwards come from the estranged parents of the person in question who, although were not paid by the Sun, have been paid tens of thousands by another Murdoch company for an interview. Not only that but their version of events have been denied by the alleged “victim”.

Kyle Walker, on the other hand, got his cock out in a bar. No one is disputing it because it was on film. As many people slagged off the bar owner for making it public as slagged off Kyle Walker for doing it, and plenty defended him. Also his employer considered it was a totally private matter and he was therefore not suspended or investigated by them.

The two situations are not even remotely comparable.

I am referring to the Kyle Walker shags prostitutes story. Not the bar one.

They are very similar in that they are both basically "married celebs caught putting/trying to put it about".

And the allegations against Edwards, none of which have been denied, come from multiple people, not just the parents of one of the young people involved. A fact that everyone seems desperate to ignore in their rush to paint him as different to and worthy of more sympathy than other celebrities in similar situations.

Yes people take the risk. And it's on them.
But do you think they deserve to be hounded to death by national media?
