Do you know the full story?
Here's the issues;
1. Whilst the relationship is claimed to have happened when the teen in question was over the age of consent, there is evidence that Pillip Schofield met the him when he was only 12 years old, he stayed in contact with him for three years and it was around the time the guy was 15-16 that Schofield started helping him out professionally. A lot of questions on when they first slept together and if what Schofield did constitutes as 'grooming'.
2. Phillip Schofield got the teen a job on 'This Morning'. From here Schofield was practically his superior. This is a big no-no for many jobs, having a superior in a relationship with an underling, due to the power dynamic.
3. When the teen threatened to out Schofield and tell everyone about their relationship (they obviously had some sort of falling out). ITV and Schofield paid him off and got him a job on a different show. Why did they appease him so much if Schofield had nothing to hide? Schofield also alledgedly has an injuction out against the teen in question, which forbade him from talking about it for a certain number of years, I believe the teen was also receiving money the whole time the injuction was out. It also prevented the media from speaking on it. I believe the injuction is now at an end, hence why it's blowing up now.
4. Seperate to this is the debacle with Schofield's brother. His brother is a convicted pedophile who is now serving prison time, he confided to Schofield about what he was doing, Schofield told him to stop and didn't inform the police. He essentially protected his pedophile brother.
5. Another issue is that apparently Schofield is a cheeky cunt. A lot of people who have worked for him can't stand him and this is now all coming back to bite him on the ass. They have ammo against him and are essentially cancelling him.
6. It's worth nothing that Schofield was a married man with two kids. Cheaters often get hated on. The fact he successfully pulled a 'Kevin Spacey' (coming out as gay to divert attention from your wrongdoings) irritates people. He was essentially championed as a hero for coming out when they truth is he groomed some teen and cheated on his wife with said teen.

To further the point about the injuctions. A lot of people don't like the sly nature of ITV. Paying people off, taking out court orders to prevent people from talking about it, etc, etc. It's slimy and raises questions on why they want things hidden from the public.
Another blow back is the fact ITV, his co-host Holly and so on are now severing ties with Schofield when they all knew what he was doing all along. Holly claims to be ignorant but several images of her with Schofield and his teen partner have been posted on the DailyMail. It's clear she knew he was gay and cheating on his wife with a teen and now that questions on grooming are blowing up she's trying to distance herself from him.
Fuck Schofield, fuck ITV and fuck Holly.

I agree about the last part, with respect to the hypocrisy, but the whole attempt to cancel Philip Schofield because his *BROTHER* *NOT* him is a pedo, is a fucking disgrace. So what if he's a 'cheeky cunt'? He always seems perfectly banal and inoffensive to me.
I know what this is all about. This is trying to thoroughly trash the childhood of those of us who grew up in the 80s. It's Boomers and Millennials doing the same shit they always do; ganging up together to SHIT ON us poor Gen Xers who always get the squeeze from the spoiled and more attention-seeking generations. Fuck em. 😠👊🏿
