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

Shes not a trustworthy source, seems a real up her own ar$e walking ego. In fact none of her material is even slightly funny. I smell desperate attempt at publicity.

i never know what to make of her. shes generally quite funny and her netflix series was mostly very good, but she can delve into the 'everyone else is the source of my problems not me' thing alot of the time on the other hand. as for this, i havent seen her new show yet but shes been vocal on instagram about how she finds age gap relationships disgusting so i wouldnt be surprised if it were something to do with that. cant think of any comedians off the top of my head that are dating someone significantly younger though

Who's career is she damaging?

Promoters are parasites who will book literally anyone who will shift tickets, and don't even try to hide it.

Can someone explain to me how Katherine Ryan "called him a (sexual) predator to his face and in front of everyone every day" So, does she call him a predator every day that she sees him? All while she admits that she has no proof?

And then she goes on about not being able to feed her children.............which I assume means that she would be sued if she named the person. Yet she apparently identified the person and called them a predator in front of others, which one would think would be enough to get sued.

And is Pascoe's story about someone else? I assume so. And she has no proof either, she's just going on what someone else told her over the phone. And why did the person phone Pascoe? Are they friends? And why didn't Pascoe report the allegation to the Police rather than the TV channel?

Good explanation, thanks.

But didn't Catherine Ryan name him, and call him a (sexual) predator in front of everyone? Isn't that putting her neck in the chopping block, so to speak?

She didn't name him publicly though. It's also not known the manner in which she would said it. Maybe others thought it was a joke, or she just didn't like him. Maybe she was throwing it into the middle of conversations to make him uncomfortable (showing to him that she knew about things he did) whereas others might not have picked up on what she was referring to. Also don't know how long she worked with him for, probably only a few days.

The trouble is, the more details like that she reveals, the more likely people would figure out who it is, and then she's inadvertently named him. So she's being as general as possible because ultimately her and Pascoe were just talking about the situation as it relates to being women and working in such a male-dominated career.

I'd argue that if she called them out in front of others, she did call them out in public. Agreed that we don't know the manner in which she did it.

By revealing some of the info though, she's created a situation where people will speculate on who it is, just look at the opening post in this thread for an example of that. That's not really fair to any innocent male comedians that she's worked with on TV as their names may now have a cloud over them.

I'm not saying she's wrong about this person, I just don't know but I'm not a fan of calling someone out when you have no proof, which Ryan says is the case.

She didn't name him on TV or online but called him out multiple times to his face with witnesses it seems. Interesting to see how this pans out. John Lydon sort of called out Jimmy Saville in 1978, hinted at rumours & stories, he suffered a career crippling ban and had similar accusations like the above on this thread of being untrustworthy (for no real reason), egotistical (which he was) and an attention seeker... which most people in that career actually are. It gave people that didn't like his material great satisfaction though.

It turned out he was right.

It's not. She's pretty much best friends with Carr and regularly works with him by choice, as does Pascoe. From what I remember (as this interview she did with Pascoe wasn't the first time this has come up as I think I remember some other female comedians talking about it on Twitter before a few years ago and it's most likely they're all talking about the same person), it's not someone who's a regular on panel shows. They likely did a few appearances several years back, but not a regular.

probably isnt noel so seeing as he is/was on buzzcocks

Amy schumer?

From the name i see being mentioned i for one believe her.

I don't know what a sexual predator is. Someone who uses threats to reputation, career, good name ? to get sex, Or Someone who fcuks everything in sight and doesn't call her again and she feels humiliated. ?

From 8out of 10 cats does Countdown there's 1 really creepy fcuker but he's gay

I think a sexual predator is maybe some one gets young women drunk has sex with them.or gives them illegal drugs, especially women who are much younger than him like he's 30, they are 18, eg he has sex with women probably against their will. I find it strange though when a 21 year old man is dating a 17 year old girl. The laws in the UK about defamation are much stricter than America. Jimmy Savile was abusing young women for 20 years plus before he was publicly accused of anything. It's strange because she has been on 3 TV comedy shows and she worked with him at least a few days. To be accurate she says it's a comedian so that does not include everyone she works with.

If she has no proof she could be sued for naming him

It's called going Instagram official eg you appear on insta as a couple, and every famous person does it now,

Every actor has to be on Instagram to promote whatever the latest TV show, film they are in now

It's obvious she can't name him as she could be at risk of being called a trouble maker and losing tv work. Many actors have been removed from various American TV shows after being accused of sexual harassment

Take Johnny Depps name OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

Surprised it wasn't Jim Jeffries who was mentioned. LOTS of creepy behaviour on his part. He even joked about it.

(plying a 17 year old with drugs, for one, just so he could sleep with her)

You absolutely should have made a report.

Maybe it wouldnt have gone anywhere, or maybe it would. The complaint would have been noted, and maybe enough other people who were harassed by this person also reported it, each report adds to the credibility of the last.

You cant decry the ineffective garda/justice system but then at the same time, not even report anything to them? How do you expect the gardai to do anything if they dont even get a chance? They cannot act if you dont report it to them!
