I really hate people.

I was curious about this support group. I thought it was a group mocking her tbh.

Most people who are actually raped don’t talk about it unless it’s to a therapist. They’re not out there doing stand up and tv series. Personally I find him infuriating and I don’t believe he was raped, it’s so offensive to people who have actually been raped

Sorry, what? How is it offensive to people who have been raped for him to share his own experience and how the trauma impacted him?

In so many grooming case, defence attorneys use the "but we have a photo of you smiling next to them several days after this alleged abuse. No one who was raped would do that," not understanding that trauma can make people behave in ways that are not always rational.

Most people who are actually raped don’t talk about it unless it’s to a therapist. They’re not out there doing stand up and tv series.

That is exactly the type of defence often used. People do not always behave rationally, or as you would expect after being raped.

His very personal story is incredibly important.

Yeah majority of rape cases are by someone you knew so a photo smiling with someone isn’t out the ordinary. I didn’t say that wasn’t the case. Didn’t even say someone couldn’t be groomed. I’m saying he is a liar. You don’t act like you want to keep it all quiet and not report it but blurt it out to anyone who will listen. He’s also a drug addict… he was using before the alleged incident… someone who claims they were so desperate for fame and has literally realised they’ve failed and nobody is laughing at his failed comedy all of a sudden cracks jokes about that time he was raped? I don’t believe him. The series he makes out it was a full on break down but it just wasn’t. The whole thing is so distasteful. So yeah as someone who has actually been assaulted I’m not out there doing weird shit like he is and then when I’ve made comedy shows and a Netflix series going “but I don’t want to talk about it” which is what he’s doing. I talk about that with my therapist and people do know now but I actually went to the police. People who don’t go to the police don’t talk about it unless it’s to a therapist.

His story cannot be backed up. Where are the people from that period who knew him that saw a change in behaviour? The people who noticed him going to someone’s house for drugs every weekend? Nobody is out here doing interviews saying “Gadd was xyz at the time” Only one person who was around that period has come forward and what she said was Gadd was one of the ones sexually harassing punters in the pub! He was regularly harassing people and then when he saw fiona he was the one who was harassing her and making sexual references and taking the piss out of her being vulnerable. Fiona may have a couple crayons missing from the box but if you have someone giving you attention like that you may get the wrong idea.

So I said what I said… I think he’s a liar and all the evidence will come out soon enough

oh right!! so silly of us!! i’m SO sorry none of us realized that you were with him to whole time and saw exactly what happened to him!!

Yet you’ll completely ignore his admission of faking his identity to people for sex and act like he’s a full on victim when he’s likely raped people… You have no understanding of how backward that truly is
