"Is He Paying The Price For The PEDOS The BBC Protected?" | Jermaine Jenas Sacked From BBC

[@PC1974]

To be fair, Jenus misdemeanor isn't on a par with what Savile, Harris, and Edwards have done. He's just a convenient scapegoat.

[@sandrascott7351]

My god the bbc should be shut down, and all put in prison, absolutely abhorrent

[@sadiswan]

A total nobody sending nothing to no-one about nothing. What a story!

[@DaGoyDidGood]

Humiliation ritual?

[@jamesrawlings5781]

A reasonably well known married ex footballer sending rude messages to female staff. It's not a massive surprise that that can get you sacked.

[@Wheelie2077]

The BBC covered for Saville, Harris, Hall, Edwards and others. Yet they sack someone for texting?

[@colinbrown7305]

What are you saying? Are you saying that because they protected others they should also protect Jermaine?

[@Wheelie2077]

​@@colinbrown7305What am I saying? I'm saying what's written in the text. It's literally there for you to read. There's no ambiguity!

[@JigOfTheDubGopher]

@@colinbrown7305 Are you saying because Jermaine wasn't protected the BBC are attacking him? It was simply one or more texts, and who gets to define "inappropriate"? (rhetorical).

[@bernie129locksmith]

They only sack minor celebrities but cover up for the main ones like Huw Edwards,Saville etc

[@nutsaboutdance]

British army covered up things for centuries you saying they should do wrong again and cover it up because they did it in the past 🤡

[@nataliesknowledge7962]

This is ridiculous!! Throwing him under the bus to distract from the pedos!😊

[@janetholden1978]

I feel sorry for his Wife and family. These presenters are made out to be something they are not. They certainly are not stars. They sit and read what others on much lower incomes have researched and written.

[@jacquelineedwards4140]

It sounds that at the most the BBC should have dealt with the situation internally. Disciplined him perhaps but not sacked him.

[@pappy374]

If he'd have been disciplined but not sacked you'd have people coming out and moaning that he was being protected. Can't win.

[@bunille]

@@pappy374 I'm pretty sure the whole BBC is flirting with at least one other person there, just that it's not been exposed. When they're exposed, they'll magically get fired, too.

[@TeresaConstable]

I think you are right if it was as he said.i cant believe he has been sacked. he is no such a big name..just Typical of the bbc.

[@ed4270]

I feel sorry for him, he would never have got the sack if the people he sent the messages to were underage.

[@colinbrown7305]

Why? He's a married man who sent inappropriate messages to a female colleague who, as a result felt uncomfortable. His actions were out of line and he deserves to be sacked.

[@ed4270]

@@colinbrown7305 wow, are you for real? Do I actually have to explain to you it was a joke aimed at the bbc and their protection of pedos. A sense of humour is needed at times.

So the woke BBC have someone else in mind to take over Linekar’s role. Maybe Eni Aluko. She is fully black and a woman but wait, she isn’t disabled or trans🤷‍♀️

[@jamesrawlings5781]

What are you talking about? I haven't seen her included in any 'favourites' lists. And how would the BBC be 'not woke'? Include no one but white men, and maybe the odd white woman, in order to not offend the sensibilities of people like you?

[@artistreality]

What are they deeming 'inappropriate'. I don't know about anyone else but I have had women send me some wild photos and messages when dating over the years. I never asked for them, but I wasn't offended. I feel we're entering a weird area of innocent flirting or messaging engaged by two consenting adults. Where one suddenly doesn't want to engage anymore and knows they can easily ruin someones reputation. I'm not defending genuine weirdos but we have to start drawing a line in the sand. Seems to me if you're a man, you're screwed either way, even if innocent. Let's focus on actual sick individuals.

[@SharmV]

Women are untouchable in 2024, if you say even the truest of things about a woman…you a mysonginistc - media hate men clear as day

[@ChristineMurphy-gs2fc]

Could it be that it is two jealous women each having found out about the other. Just a thought

[@mariepearl-harbour2335]

He is being blackmailed. Then he will be blackballed. I think there is more to the story, and he is refusing to play balls with his handlers. However, adultery is unacceptable regarding his married life. Most men and women have low morals these days. Society is going down the drain.

[@markbradley1015]

Who was the sports presenter that was arrested at 4am last month for abusing a 10 yo

[@MajesticJewnicorn]

The problem is, they are keeping things intentionally vague so the public are purely speculating. Same happened with Edwards and Schofield. It would be in everyone's best interests (especially as we pay for the BBC) for someone to come out and make a thorough statement detailing the situation. It's also unfair to compare with people who have committed crimes, because whilst these allegations may not be illegal, they may still be immoral and sack-worthy. I just want there to be full transparency to quash the speculation.

seriously come on JJ did nothing wrong its ridiculous. adult on adult. grow up. sacking for that is ridiculous.

Why did he apologise to said women who he’s supposedly texted if he did nothing wrong…….. 🤔. You wouldn’t apologise for a consensual conversation lol, do the math yourself.

This is ridiculous "Sexting" takes two Adults to initiate. Why have these woman's name's not been revealed? They KNEW he was married. and how did he get their phone numbers in the first place?

[@colinbrown7305]

Talk tv complaining that someone is being "cancelled" for sending inappropriate texts, while at the same time calling for Lilly Allen to be cancelled for giving up a dog she couldn't care for. "News" shows like this are off the scale bonkers.

[@andybennett1133]

They're not calling for her to be cancelled, u moron, they're saying that she's a twerp cuz shes giving her dog back just cuz it ate her passport.....£80 for a new passport to a multi-millionare is peanuts,.....the dog didn't eat her passport to do her head in its just a dog doing doggo stuff, there's no need to get rid of it.

Hmmm, 15mins of opinion on something don't have facts on

[@mann234]

It does not matter what BBC did. What matters is that you do not send sex texts to colleagues under no circumstance as colleagues are owned by your bosses even though you chat with them jokingly. Your colleagues are not your friends until free off your bosses. A sex text is the evidence.

[@mcooper593]

Lily Allan has never been the full shilling. This now proves she’s heartless and nasty too. The dog has had a lucky escape 😖

[@jackirwallace4635]

I dont watch BBC ..i hope the presenter sues the BBC. BBC has lost it...this is woke.

[@musicforsax]

The whole situation is baffling. Of course, we don't actually know the full story here, he seems to have been erased pretty swiftly and you have to wonder if there is far more to it than has been publicised, on the face of it looks like he has been used to make an example of, to show the viewing public that they are not taking this sort of thing lightly any longer. Is it fair if that is the case? No. Should he have done it? also no. But if all it is are a few flirtatious texts between adults, then it isn't a stackable offence and surely he has the right to challenge that legally. I think the whole 'taking therapy' that was reported is nonsense. He doesn't need therapy, he needs to put a pin in his over-inflated ego and behave himself.

[@phillipbruno4443]

I think he's been made a scapegoat by the BBC because of how they handled the Huw Edwards situation and possibly all the others before Huw who did the most horrendous things and kept high paid jobs etc. Think the BBC are being over cautious and dumping him in case there is worst out there. He's wrong in relation to his wife and family and maybe in his position as a household presenter but if they were consenting adults, only texts and no pictures then it's no way as bad as the others. The only thing I can think of is that there is more/worst to come. And the person/people the was texting, are they traumatised to the point of reporting it to his bosses?. What did these texts say? Be interesting to hear from the people who received the texts to get their point of view and if it's justified for him to lose all his work. I just think it's a strange reaction from the BBC compered to others behaviour in the past.

[@arlrb76]

he wasnt noncing so he had to be sacked

[@nobodyreally5264]

Lilly alans music is absolutely horrible,how can you see its brilliant.made me laugh.

[@RussellHart-u9f]

As some have said he made a mistake he didn't make a mistake he knew exactly what he was doing from the first text and he couldn't help himself and with what has been happening at bbc lately he should have known better all he has done is try to minimise it from the off and now it has destroyed his family
