Katherine Ryan claims she called out alleged ‘sexual predator’ celebrity on TV series

Has she ever worked with Johnny Depp?

Honestly, I think throwing the cat amongst the pigeons is rather reckless.

Years ago, Ulrika Jonsson spoke about being raped by a prominent male figure at the place she worked (as part of her biography), then some TV show named her alleged rapist as then TV presenter John Leslie... and his career was over. And his life... was destroyed.

Didn't matter that a thorough investigation was launched, as well as court proceedings, and Leslie's name cleared... he was done.

Jonsson could have said 'he didn't assault me'... but she had a book to promote and sell, and this created interest in the book.

Creating this kind of controversy... allegations. Seems really dodgy.

Seeing Russell Brand being mentioned a lot.

The sad thing is, many Irish comedians were called out for being predators/ rapists. A few comediennes spoke about the harassment they faced, as well as their own rapes.

I know James Veitch was called out by many women. Back when he did a post-grad in Sarah Lawrence. Doubt that was the only place he was predatory.

And there was a few articles about the UK comedy scene regarding predatory behaviours. Comedians got called out, many of whom claimed to be feminists.

I wonder is that fuelled by the YouTube clip where Carr asks her what's the worst thing said behind her back, and she is sitting next to Brand at the time?

All speculation at the moment.

Incredibly irresponsible doing this kind of "admission" - just fuels rampant speculation and can ruin innocent peoples lives and careers. This is the beginning of a witchhunt that could end up burning the wrong person at the stake.

Let the police handle it, not a trial by media

I do wish the “usual suspects” wouldn’t be in such a rush to jump to the defence of this male predatory sex pest.

We don’t have any concrete details, as yet. It could turn out to be a, self declared, “male feminist” or a person of colour. Someone they would only love to pillory, and condemn.

You don’t want to have to backtrack and, suddenly, start supporting this woman. Patience is a virtue.

There is nobody to defend right now as the only details we have are glorified gossip - its an incredibly irresponsible thing to do, and could actually jeopardise any trials against the alleged guilty party too by having all these details and claims and speculation in the public domain.

I could understand speaking out if the police had covered it up ala Jimmy savile, but here they admitted to not even going to the police!

By spreading vague details like this, not only are they risking that justice will not be done to the guilty party (if there is one) but they also are putting innocent peoples livelihoods and reputations at risk. Incredibly irresponsible! How you can defend this practice is beyond me, and typical from yourself, you try and turn the situation into a partisan men v women, and dragging male feminists or people of colour into it. Get over yourself.

That's some serious stretching on point 1.

You believe her before even knowing what the allegation is, who it's against or any of the other details?
