He had a certain fan base here and some weren't gone on him.
He disappeared very fast last year and now he's about to sue Twitter.
Well actually he is a Picture This superfan iirc.
He got a tattoo of the band name on his arm when they were 'big' a few years back, for the launch of their album I think.
That might be the band in his profile picture.
Strange behaviour for a grown man. But each to their own.
Getting back to the thread title, can you actually sue Twitter? It wasn't Twitter who defamed him, but users on it. Surely he'd have to sue whoever posted the message, not the host? I'm sure Twitter are above getting sued for every random comment put on their platform?
that was the other guy
😂
It was obvious from your previous post you didn’t have an idea then, either. 😁
Literally no idea what you're talking about fella.
What’s all this lad touching about?
Don’t worry lad-I’m not confused at all 😊
He will co host a show with dildo in the next month guaranteed
Wha? Id doubt anyone will touch the lad. Still to much confusion around the whole thing.
Thus should not have been in the public domain. Hopefully twitter will have to cough up.
So there will be a string of TV , Radio and media outlets in the coming days offering him Golden handshakes to sign up to their companies and for all to make millions - have I read that correctly?
Especially if they were so pro the me too movement.
Calm down it’s never worth it.
Yes a comeback will be difficult
Maybe also a mod here could merge the threads as I am posting I think same on both, confusing myself
Yeh look im not sure thats the issue. The point ive made is he hitched his wagon to the woke, cancel culture climate we live in today. He actively called out this behaviour and told us as men during the me too movement that we had to do better etc.
The guy didnt have sex with someone underage. And im delighted thats the case and this woman has admitted it and withdrawn those claims.
But knowing narrative he created for himself as a presenter its difficult to accept he could make a comeback.
It would really depend on the circumstances.
A 17(who could still be at school)going out with a 27 who could be a teacher/presenter/role model/etc. You would question the elders moral and are they suitable to be on the national airwaves or teaching a class.
He should be sued for all the people he molested on 2fm in forcing them to tell them they loved him.
Would the same be said for an older woman younger man, is there a male name for cougar
Not sure. But i dont think a platform can wash their hands of any responsibilty especially if it is used to publish stuff like this.
Who leaked on Twitter to begin with?
Looks like from statement today he isnt. To be fair to the guy he said out of respect for her he isnt naming her and wants to put it to bed. That must be a diffcult thing to do.
I assume she was the source, started with her, leaks etc., is he coming after her also?
Twitter it would seem. And rightfully so.
Is he bringing action against her and Twitter?
Yeh i fully agree. I wouldnt be talking about an assault etc. To me the guy done nothing illegal and i think thats been cleared up. However i do think we should be allowed to have an opinion on it though considering it is now in the public sphere. As i said i dont wish the fella ill will but i dont think he can make acome back now. This is the kinda thing he was so against.
She made the allegations in 2021. He obviously knew her well enough to be able to track her down. I think the statement and letter today clear up any legal issues though.
This is the passage from the Journal.ie article:
Through her solicitor, she has accepted that she was above the age of consent when they met, that she falsely claimed McDermott fled the country as a result of the claims and that it was wrong of her to retweet unfounded allegations of sexual assault by third parties.
Indeed he was defamed.
He hasnt denied having relations with her though or that important elements of her account of events werent true.
I mean if i were reliant on my image like him i would be categorically denying having relations with a school going girl.
Its not illegal. Far from it. But if you are depending on your squeaky clean imagine to pontificate and virture signal from an ivory tower in RTE you'd better make sure you have no skeletons in your closet. Thats why i have little sympathy if he cant rescue his career. I do have sympathy though that he was accused of sexual relations with a minor. That wasnt right. But in my view he has other questions to clear up here.
And then play a song by them whiney c*nts Picture This.
She was 17 and in school. He was 27. I dont wish him ill but i hope he is finished on radio and tv.
