Is it me or is Al Porter the spit of Robert Mugabe?

SEPT 23 1989

Is the picture over the headline connected with the story? Because those three look seriously pissed off

Sur he was only having a bit of crack

Sex pest. Love that phrase

I'm not condoning any of these alleged acts but why is it all of these claims are being made in the context of having happened and thus the accused is guilty? It's too easy to throw allegations against people and no defence is allowed.

I saw him at electric picnic a few years ago and he was riding me with his eyes

Well he can’t pull a Spacey on it, he’s already come out as gay.

Hope the advertisers on Today FM follow boycott his radio show. It’s the only way these guys will learn.

How do you not condon something alleged to have happened ?

Yeah that article and photo are fierce confusing.

I really hope that if the allegations are true he gets kicked off the shows he is on.

I have been in the situation of being harassed by two well known figures while working at PR events. What the scumbags weren't banking on was me being very good at krav maga, and shouting. Needless to say they didn't approach me again

Don’t know about this Porter chap but Mugabe is definitely grabbing some ass there.

Two guys in front looking a bit pissed off with it.

I think the allegations must be rock solid enough for the Times to run it on their front page. No way the do that with just rumour.

Fifteen minutes listening to Al Porter on the radio had me sincerely wishing he would die.

Probably a tad unnecessary to wish death on the guy there mate.

Could come out as straight? Or maybe trans?

You've clearly never heard his comedy then.

If you look at the secret rte producer Twitter account, a few people are commenting on Al Porter feeling them up.

Yesterday, Al porter was the drizzling ****s as a comedian and presenter.

Now, its a relative compliment

The other story further down on the IT website is just as interesting:
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/financial-services/the-gangster-superior-the-irish-priest-and-the-wealthy-widow-1.3286022
All the ingredients for a horror film (paradise papers, dose of scandal etc) maybe Al's voice could narrate it, for added effect.

Surely the scandal is that the guy has a career at all?

Yes I know, but I did anyway.

Yes. The two lads in front backed into his hands.

Im not surprised.....he comes across a bit rapey with some of the lads on blind date. Maybe trying to play up to stereotype for comic effect but this puts a differentry colour on it

If this is true, at least unlike the likes of Spacey, it's somebody you hate already so there's no disillusionment.

MadYaker

I honestly never knew so many men had a problem keeping their hands / mouths / whatever to themselves, it's not that fúcking difficult. This whole thing is depressing and I'm afraid it's going to start making me paranoid when I'm around women.

Al Porter is only 24 years old. I couldn't believe that.

Well at least something positive is coming out of this.

Did he cock-block Mugabe?

List of things I can't believe about Al Porter:

1. He has a radio show
2. He has a TV show
3. He is 24

I don’t know what’s worse, the alleged incidents themselves or the fact that so many here are wishing for such awful things to happen to someone, out of nothing but jealousy, spite and hatred

The claws are out....

Ah now, he's an unfunny comedian, with a face for radio and a voice for the deaf.

Jealousy or spite doesn't come into it...

Imagine watching your dream career melt away like that before your very eyes, literally.
He was setting himself up to be the Twink of the next 40 years.
And it’s all gone.
In a puff of smoke.

It’s not really all gone in a puff of smoke , more so the years of sexual assaults as per The allegations

Is this the first Irish celebrity to be named? I wonder how many other high profile names will be made public on the back of this.
