John Leslie's gonna get ya

[Wozza]

From The Guardian today:
John Leslie's lawyers are putting together a dossier against those responsible for "bringing him down" in preparation for legal action, his spokesman has revealed. A "lengthy dossier" of all the individuals and organisations involved in naming and shaming the star will be presented to him early next week by his legal team.

Leslie will decide at the end of next week whether to launch a lawsuit against any of those named in the dossier, which is likely to include Matthew Wright, the Channel Five presenter who first named him live on air...

So Channel Five is top of the list for naming him first, then the Evening Standard for repeating the allegations that afternoon, and then... oh, maybe North Stand Chat if his lawyers recorded what was said on here that evening. Okay, probably not, but that's not the point.

I wish I'd kept a copy of what was said on here to prove I was right to warn people.

At the time Popbitch (usually the last to care) removed any mention of him and the BBC refused to report on the story, and yet people still insisted on repeating the untrue allegations on here.

"How do you know he's guilty?", I asked. "Because it was on Channel Five and in the Standard, so it must be true," came the reply from several NSC users.

Wrong.

 

[Simster]

How can anyone know whether he is guilty?

He might be. Then again he might not. All one can say is that you can't go accusing people or insinuating guilt without proof.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Like Guy Butters, the bloke is taking the piss. Look at the facts, everbody's 'appy:

John Leslie - £160K from The Express for exclusive interview, £1 million chat show contract, watch out for the book launch "John Leslie - My Hell"

Ulrika Jonssen - More books sales, more publicity

Channel 5 - Publicity for little-known show

All the newspapers - decent stories to sell papers

All the radio talk stations - something to talk about, so more listeners

The lawyers - lovely jubbly

Yep, everyone's a winner, apart from taxpayers who funded the bungled CPS case. So, I am entitled to get my moneysworth by slagging him off if I want to.

NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE.

What, like the police did

 

[Marshy]

Quality, hes bound to sue the lot of them.
Bet there shitting themsleves.

Good luck to him as well. Innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Braders]

i seriously didn't doubt him - that channel 5 blokes gonna get sued big time !

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Trial by media - you can't beat it!

 

[CAFC Matt]

i seriously didn't doubt him - that channel 5 blokes gonna get sued big time !

And ITV for takign hi off Thids Morning as soon as he was arressted even though he pleaded his innonence

 

[El Presidente]

One of my students appeared on his quiz show, and he asked her and her mate back to his place for a threesome afterwards!

 

[CAFC Matt]

Really, what did they say/do?

 

[Wozza]

So, I am entitled to get my moneysworth by slagging him off if I want to. NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE.

There's a big f***ing difference between slagging someone off and accusing them of a crime they did not commit.

If you want that explained further, repeat the (unproven) allegations here, including your full name and phone number, and I'll get Mr Leslie's lawyers to call you.

 

[El Presidente]

Nothing illegal. He was up for it big stylee though

 

[Wozza]

He supposedly has a bit of a bedroom/bathroom/wherever catchphrase: "Tits or face?" (shouldn't need explaining).

Popbitch was selling a T-shirt with the phrase on it (now changing hands for £40+).

Don't think he'll sue for that though...

 

[desprateseagull]

i hope john leslie gets an inhunction against ulrika's book, as that sold a hell of a lot, off the back of speculation who her 'attacker' was... she gained through somene else's misery, and she did nothing to conirm JL's innocence - afaik, at the time, she was featured in the papers talking about the injuries she got put her in hospital.. yet she was still seeing him, and even appeared on 'this morning' to be interviewd by him (and fern...?) if i'd been attacked, i wouldnt want to be anywhere near the 'alleged' assailant.

max clifford hasa lot to answer for, he's a stirrer.
ulrika? she's just a slag.

so sue me - got nothing left to take!

 

[El Presidente]

Exactly what is a 'TV Personality'? As far as I can see he has no discernable talent, yet has just received £500k from the Star for his story and has been offered £1million by Sky for a talk show. He does not come across as intelligent, witty, incisive or anything, yet earns a fortune.

Not that I am jealous of course

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

I'm sorry but I am a firm believer in 'no smoke without fire'.

That's my opinion & I am sticking by it.

 

[El Presidente]

He has been cleared of being a rapist, and that should be the end of it.
Why a TV company would want to employ a cocaine sniffer is another matter though

 

[desprateseagull]

i think itv dumped him even before his arrest?

 

[Wozza]

Why a TV company would want to employ a cocaine sniffer is another matter though

Reality check: most people involved in television (in front of the camera and behind) will have done coke at some point.

Also, I don't believe this £1m Sky offer story at all. More PR spin I think.

 

[Wozza]

I'm sorry but I am a firm believer in 'no smoke without fire'. That's my opinion & I am sticking by it.

That's the kind of attitude that, for example, gets innocent England fans arrested for standing within a mile of holigans at away games.

It sucks. Big time.
