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

i dont disagree that its more on the general public/us that are speculating on who it is, but its still obvious that this sort of speculation would happen

'If there's such a lack of hints to the point where nobody can realistically even narrow it down to what show it was, what year it was, what type of show it was... then just because people are guessing does not mean she has brought suspicion on anyone.' - the problem here is that two people in particular have been named repeatedly online as most likely who she is talking about, with tenuous 'evidence' cited. now, if they are problematic (which is likely, even if this isnt what KR was actually referring to) then fair enough, but if not these people are being talked about in an unfair light, even if it is just online.

also, as another poster suggested, without further information, i would not be surprised if KR was referring to someone that is/was in an age-gap relationship. she used to be relatively vocal on her instagram about how against such relationships (kinda with her on it personally tbh) she is, shes mentioned a number of number she thinks florence pugh needs help since shes dating someone who looks like her dad (agree i dont disagree, zach braff comes across as creepy af) and its not unknown for male comedians to date younger women.

and overall im a fan of KR. Ive watched her netflix specials and her scripted show, ill usually watch whatever panel show shes on and i generally find her very funny. she also strikes me as someone who regularly confuses her opinion with fact though unfortunately

ive always got a slightly weird vibe from him tbh, maybe cause hes an asshat according to alot of people.

i dunno, maybe predatory is a bit much but i find a 21 year age gap unsettling, as was the fact he was her boss when they met

sex and a relationship are different things though. yeah i think that movie is about a male escort so i dunno how relevant that is tbh, although i havent seen it

anyway, going off topic

No victim blaming, just reckon she's stirring things up

Yep, I agree with the last sentiment. It's tarring them all with the same brush BUT it's funny how so many people mention the same names, doesn't bode well for British comedians :D

why am I subscribed to this thread?

oh right, we've moved on from that at this stage...

has she ever worked with Al Porter?

What???! The press were going to release the story so she decided to let everyone know on her own terms. Who cares what day of the week it was. She has fans. Also why do you feel so much bile and hatred about it, if some celebrity got married etc., and I didn't care I'd just jog on or turn the page, wow!

a sexual predator is someone who is guilty of sexual harrassment ,maybe he uses obscene language, maybe he gropes women,he may use his fame or power to get women to sleep with him, basically asking women to do things they do not want to do,if you sleep with me i,ll get you this role.she cant just say in print or on a podcast ,joe bloggs is a sexual predator ,she could get sued, its up to victims of rape to go to the police, some women may not prefer to go to court especially if its a famous rich person.she appears on many panel shows, its likely to be someone who is famous enough to appear on tv shows.i think its creepy when a 24 year old man go,s out with a girl whose 16 or 17 .showbusiness is full of creeps who would like to take advantage of young women if they can get away with it

You don't wanna go down that road. Of course allegations should be believed until investigated, they just shouldn't be released for all to see.

For the odd false accusation you do see, it's not commonplace and punishments are doled out. A quick Google brought these up.

I think she has tendencies to predatory behaviour herself.

Who boasts about giving somebody "an aggressive blowjob" (What is that? A hint of sharp teeth?) and then says [1min:55] "I think he's just with me because he fears for what I might say about him on TV, and that's as good a reason as any. IT FEELS POWERFUL"?

How scary is that?

You go girl!

You can say you're "Reclaiming" sexual predation for the female of the species.

Katherine Ryan just said something...Speculators, mount up!

Another myth. False allegations. Christ, this **** is why Boards has died on it's arse.
