Jian Ghomeshi scandal

[benyl]

Have a listen to "The Current" from today.

Jian is a superstar in his own mind, in my opinion.

Anyone actually listen to this dude's radio show? I think I've heard him interview someone once and it was nothing special. Not sure why this is such a big deal.

Definitely, according to this link posted earlier:

She first met Ghomeshi at a barbecue at a Banff television festival in 2003. They chatted and, in time, she visited Toronto and they had dinner at a restaurant on the Danforth. She recalls him telling her how famous he was and “how lucky you are to be with me.”

Yeah real famous. The only people higher up in the celebrity food chain on CBC are Don Cherry and Ron Maclean

I saw him on tv a while back and the first thing I thought was when the hell did ZorroAMG get his own talk show? He didn't say anything that interested me so I changed the channel. I didn't know who the guy was or how he was important enough to get his own show.

I listen to CBC Radio, and stumble on his show here and there. Nothing special, but I did watch this hilarious episode a while back.

he's not a bad interviewer, espescially when held up against usual entertianment interviewers. He comes across quite smarmy IMO, its not like he's alan cross or nardwuar

Amd another.

There were rumors last night his PR firm dropped him, confirmed today. His original PR firm dropped him too.

Being a CBC personality and the extreme nature of his activities, it reminded me of this scene:



Its probably a good thing he got outed before he went overboard with his choking fetish and off'ed someone in the throws of passion.

[Toma]

Yup, and cops openly now welcoming "reports".

[Modelexis]

This quote made me laugh just because of the wording.

"Jian had his hand around my throat, had pulled down my pants and was aggressively and violently digitally penetrating me,"

If these allegations are true, who's to say he hasn't or come close to it?

Did Navigator come before or after his Facebook announcement?

My sister said she saw him trying to get in a club in Toronto, and the bouncer didn't recognize him and wouldn't let him in. His reply, in a smarmy voice: "Don't you know who I am? I'm Jee-an Ghu-meshi!"

LOL I thought Navigator were the ones responsible for his post/his side of the story.

[rage2]

Navigator came in after he announced he was taking time off on Thursday. A Navigator staffer was at the Sunday meeting with CBC before he was fired. The way the facebook post is written, it's most likely written by Navigator staff.

Good article on the whole process that weekend:

I don't know about that sexual stuff, but in listened to his show on numerous occasions.

I found he was boring, cliche, and, basically dodged such questions that he seems ro be so proud of asking.

Read the computer monitor facing Ghomeshi at 4:28....

[Redlyne_mr2]

How much would CBC pay Ghomeshi annually? Does he have the money to afford fighting this?

[chathamf]

Anyone think that Lucy probably invited him behind the muffler shop and this whole thing is just a scam for her and Ricky to get money for retirement?

[msommers]

Watched the police press release this morning. Very careful of course of specifics but this is not looking good for him at all. Maybe he is a sexual assaulting piece of shit - 9 women now.
