Not for me, thank you.

Zero interest in the story here.

I did note hes old enough to just retire.

Well, maybe you should all stop commenting, then. How can you be so sure of your views when you decide only to listen to one side of the story?

It doesn’t surprise me, though.

I don’t like the man personally, but I am happy to hear him out.

Would the same level of tabloid frenzy would be happening if he was a heterosexual man having a relationship with a young women?

Homophobia is definitely involved here. If something illegal has happened, why haven't the police acted? All cobblers to sell papers. Meanwhile, back in the real world, that actually affects people, the UK is going down the plughole, which they don't want to report. Doesn't sell well.

Yes, potentially more so.

[Ms NTL]

See Daily Mail's front page (attached). I am confused

*What is Holly's ass have to do with the case?

* Are we supposed to read it as one word "assHolly"? Is this an insult or is it referring to the private parts of Matt/Phil?

Not convinced. For example, the 83 year old Al Pacino is having a child with his 29 yr old girlfriend. DiCaprio who is touching 50, started dating his current girlfriend when she was 19. Hardly a murmur in the tabloid press ...

whatever it is, it's about time the media lost their toy about it.


They clearly can't name or show unblurred pics of M because of the restrictions, nor should they without his permission (there's plenty he's put in the public domain like on professional profiles etc so it's easy to find stuff about him - his exact DOB is on imdb).


There clearly isn't much extra news because P has already left TM and so H will need another replacement presenter for the show. The relationship ended in 2020 so there's no new developments or "sightings of M and P snogging in Hyde Park on a bench" for example. Nor should that matter because they are (now) two consenting adults irrespective of what may or may not have gone off between them before M was 18 (of which there's no proof offered yet).


They keep going on about it whilst saying nothing new now...

Yes but that's just an age gap.


Unless Leonardo was seeing his girlfriend at a theatre group from 10 and messaging her on twitter at 15 then dating her basically as soon as she became legal and getting her a job...


It's not the age gap that's concerning, it's how young the kid was at the time (and he looks quite young for 18 on that pic between H and P, the unblurred version is everywhere), and that they had known each other for years before.


Doesn't matter for me if it's a man with a young lad or a young woman, in fact in those cases it'd probably get similar levels of scrutiny, not sure about an adult woman with a teenage boy or girl though...

Probably, they like to stir up a good scandal.

I thought this was to do with their age (ie with him being under 18/16) ? I dont know for sure as I have no real interest.

Did any of them first meet when they were 10, with the older party getting the younger into a job, keep their initial affair secret from said employer?

Not that is really matters I suppose but just to present a contrast:

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/enterta...eline-age-gap/

Sometime in 2008
Camila made her grand entrance to the world during Gemini season in 1997, but before you fully panic, her love story with Leo did not start there. Actually, their story started over a decade ago, when Camila was about 12 years old and her former stepdad Al Pacino (Leo’s longtime bud) introduced the two. According to W, they’re all “old family friends.” Er, yeah. Do with that cringe information what you will.

Worrying.

It's genuinely puzzling that it's considered a deflection AND a worthwhile Schofield defence.

Well until the long arm of the law is involved I suggest this is now old news.
