I thought it was only me who thought that, given then amount of TV and film exposure he has had.

His sun does seem to be setting a bit. Hopefully.

A lucky escape, it would seem...

I dated Jian Ghomeshi, Canada's fallen radio star | Ruth Spencer | Comment is free | The Guardian

I used to watch Strombo but no more, 1 funny thing he said was everyone has a hobby, mine is collecting o's and u's. Credit where it's due.

But that's a Grauniad story.

In fact it's a non-story. 'I went out wit Jian Gomeshi and he didn't hit me. Or shag me. But then he was the same age as my dad...'

Like most of the left wing crap printer in that paper.

Shard

Is it? Perhaps you didn't understand it.

Ghomeshi was born in Hounslow. He's one of us.

dbd33

Oh, in light of that I'd resolve to listen to one of his shows, if he still had shows.

jandro

Sounds like almost she was being groomed.

Gosh, what an unpleasant sleazy looking bloke. I have read all these links and it really is most distasteful. I really don't care who gets up to what with whom, as long as they are all agreeable to it, but this in not just 'one, spurned woman' this is quite a group of women who have been hurt and ignored, and this 47 year old aging lothario is going to try get oodles of dosh out of this....how plain wrong is that?

Remember that head of Formula One, who was 'outed' for having S&M sex with a group of paid ladies? I think he got almost universal backing that this was his private life, and I would certainly have signed any petition for him to carry on his adventures in private.

This thing is entirely different....if he gains financially from this, it sends out the horrible message that men are men and women should be nervous

Max Mosley. Not quite the head of formula 1 but nearly. The head is Bernie Eccelstone, he likes Asians and Eastern Europeans. Mr. Mosley has a thing for Nazi ladies, not that there's anything wrong with that.

MillieF

Yes! That's the one! I got quite a soft spot for Max Mosley after that, he handled the thing well, with good humour and dignity.

I don't know much of Bernie Eccelstone....when you say 'likes'....do you mean more than friendly? .....Is it de rigueur be to into alternative sex if you want to be in Formula 1?

Shard

I bet they don't like him - such a creepy looking guy.

macadian

Agreed...

dbd33

Less. That describes his wives.

Shard

That is the crux of Ruth Spenser's piece. That the raises questions on whether competent adults can be "groomed" or whether there is some kind of psychological complicity in such liaisons.
