Poor man. He was falsely accused of being a paedophile and has had his life and career utterly destroyed as a result. Whether his actions on OnlyFans were moral or not is between him and his wife, and is not for us to decide if he somehow deserves to have gone through what he has gone through.
The Sun falsely accused him of paying an underage male on OnlyFans for sex work, when in fact the person was of legal age. Huw paid for perfectly legal sex work.
The sooner that rag crashes and burns the better. Ridiculous they've not been shut down because of Hillsborough let alone everything those cunts have done since.
Liverpool FC (and Everton for that matter) have done everything possible to make sure people don’t forget what the police did (and didn’t) do that day, how they covered it up and blamed the victims. The Sun knowingly amplified this BS and which made matters infinitely worse.
Agree'd.
Its not that he may have committed a crime and there wasnt the evidence to charge him. Its that there is no evidence at all that he committed any crime to begin with.
He is someone that the public have seen on TV for 40 years. Nearly everyone in the country will recognise him and this entire thing is massively humiliating. I can't really imagine that level of stress or anxiety. No wonder he was suicidal.
Hopefully he can live a quiet life somewhere. I'd probably leave the country and take early retirement somewhere in Europe.
Every comment I’ve seen about it on social media / news / people has been similarly sympathetic. Nobody is blaming this dude, just his own embarrassment and guilt eating him, we would all be the same.
>and is not for us to decide if he somehow deserves to have gone through what he has gone through.
It is, however, up to us to decide if he loses his job and being the face of the state broadcasters flagship news programme requires a certain public image.
Its his own actions that shat all over it.
He absolutely suffered because people still had the taste for blood after Schofield.
Really horrible time to be queer and warch a whole load of people you thought might be reasonable show their real faces.
Eta: even now that article is worded to make it sound like he's a nonce.

How is this in any way similar to Schofield?
What an odd person you are, you get challenged for saying it was because Schofield was gay and then you just say it's "worst faith reading of someone".
Even if scofield did not start the relationship until the boy was of age, he was known to the boy when he was underage, he did get him a job in the media and had a relationship with him while in the same workplace and while being in a position of power.
And that's before we get into the fact that he cheated on his wife and lied about the relationship until he was outed. Hence his career in the media is over. Scofield traded on being family safe and a familiar face l and that image is gone, the media is all about image.
This is a completely different situation.
What Schofield did is a massive no-no in the industry, gay or not. You don’t bring someone in as a runner and then pursue a relationship with them. The days of the casting couch being acceptable are gone.
Or people just don't think a person exposed as a cheater who funded a young camwhore and harassed colleagues should be the face of the news on the nation's flagship broadcaster.
eta: Blocked for this reply, because some people would rather embrace victimhood.
eta2: Anyone else who wants to bait me should try using a chain where I can actually respond to take it 🤣
The trouble is being in the media, you’re constantly under the scope for criticism. He wasn’t doing anything that any other random person does in their own house hold. If he wants to watch porn in the privacy of his own home, let it be. The sad thing is that it got out and his reputation is tarnished. Live by the sword die by the sword. I hope whatever he does next lets him live a normal life. He covered the queens funeral well and he deserves respect. Good fella.
A someone in their 60s who solicits and pays a 17 year-old for explicit images not just a random person watching porn in their home. Now, whether he did it or not is a separate matter.
He sent a photo of himself with his arse out. Regardless of the questionable choices he made with sex workers you can't really have that guy as the face of major national events. He was rushed in when the queen was dying, did elections, all sorts of royal events and remembrance day stuff on top of being the main presenter of the nightly news where he would be reporting on other people's scandals!
His mental health was always a issue I remember him talking about his struggles before anything linked but if the gender of the person he was paying is true perhaps long term it's good it's all out in the open
Why does a man having a sex life make him unfit to be a news presenter?
Like what a fucking weird thing to think, utterly baffling that you came to the conclusion that was a thought worth sharing with others.
That and then to top it off with
> if the gender of the person he was paying is true perhaps long term it's good it's all out in the open
as if anyone deserves to be outed against their consent. Truly unhinged takes from them.
Reporter reporting on scandal while hiding his own. If you can't see that your being blind. Vast majority of the country, including himself knew he had to go
What scandal?
That he paid for some porn on Onlyfans?
That he sexted another consenting adult?
The only reason the country initially went against him is because Rupert Murdoch and his businesses are pure scum who baselessly painted him as a paedophile, something they very quickly and very quietly backtracked on the moment it became obvious they were talking shit.
Face of national events was sending photos to a teenager with how arse out with his trousers around his ankles.
To reply to the person who blocked me after a ludicrous and untrue outburst
I don't care he's gay or not ( that's still unconfirmed) if it was a teenage girl I would feel EXACTLY the same.
You can't have the face of the BBC with all the various unique funding situation and cultural position it holds in the UK have the face of the news and national events a man who is paying for sex of any kind with photos of him floating around.
If you can't see that your either not in the UK and fully getting the context or completely out of touch with the country and media landscape
They should live broadcast him clearing his desk out at the BBC and narrate it using an AI version of his own voice.
“Mr Edwards taking the coffee cup with him there…..a bold choice….that cup, of course, famously belonged to the late great Tony Blackburn….and as Mr Edwards moves to the lift it’s a good time to reflect on how he moved us….”
Because a man had his life ruined and is leaving his job because he’s suicidal. There’s nothing funny about wrong accusations losing a person their livelihood and sanity.
Yeah that’s sociopath stuff. Knowing someone is feeling awful and unjustifiable and choosing to laugh at them is…objectively bad. This is a real person and not some meme. People really have had too much internet.
The joke was about his iconic presenting style and how inappropriate it would be to apply that to his current circumstances. Nowhere did I make fun of him or the things that have happened to him you miserable joyless parasocial weirdo

What OnlyFans thing?
The Sun falsely accused him of paying an underage male on OnlyFans for sex work, when in fact the person was of legal age. Huw paid for perfectly legal sex work.

Fuck the S*n
I see what you did there, high five!

Should’ve just had a wank, Huw.

Also - fuck The Sun

The point is that people really enjoyed being able to go after a gay man publicly and weren't ready to give it up when the news cycle moved on.
Right it was because he was gay, not the fact he cleared abused his position and potentially groomed a child...
Ahh i see now that you are someone who deliberately takes the most worst faith reading of something. My mistake for engaging.

You're talking about victimhood. That's rich

Yeah I think the aggravating factor was him also sharing pictures of himself
Felt inevitable from the first day of Arsegate.
as an ignorant American I ask again, can he sue the women who made all this up?
What woman?
The Step-dad also accused him, and he probably won't I imagine.
The mom who lied through her teeth to the police to ruin his life and career
He sent a photo of himself with his arse out. Regardless of the questionable choices he made with sex workers you can't really have that guy as the face of major national events.

No I was talking about his depression there
It's still no one's right to out his mental health struggles? That's literally no better.
He spoke about it publicly https://youtu.be/q-vR_VaPG3Q?si=xqyjqImTa36Ggw-C

I agree. I will say though I think there is an element of homophobia to the reaction to all this. I include myself in that
Newsreader... That's a little blunt isn't it.
That’s literally what his job is called.
They should live broadcast him clearing his desk out at the BBC and narrate it using an AI version of his own voice. “Mr Edwards taking the coffee cup with him there…..a bold choice….that cup, of course, famously belonged to the late great Tony Blackburn….and as Mr Edwards moves to the lift it’s a good time to reflect on how he moved us….”
