The reason people are entitled to suspect Phillip Schofield of wrongdoing despite his claim of having “done nothing wrong”

1/ Phillip is still publicly claiming he met Matthew McGreevy at 15. This is not a good look for him, BUT demonstrably untrue…. Image
2/ … This photo shows Philip at @2facedtheatre with one Matthew McGreevy who is clearly a pre-teen at the time. It is almost certain that this photo is from 2008, when Matthew was 11 or 12.

Phillip may claim he didn’t “meet” Matthew on this occasion. Given his “best friend”….
3/ …Simon Schofield founded the school that year and Philip was the school’s patron, and he visited frequently, it seems implausible and odd that their first “meeting” was 3 years after this photo was taken.

Also Phillip hasn’t addressed his relationship with Simon Schofield… Image
4/ …who he “befriended” on the set of Oliver as a man in thirties when Simon was a teenager.

Simon’s relationship with Matthew is also not mentioned, and very questionable, this photo being of them both when Matthew was 15- and in a wine bar with the then adult Simon… Image
5/ … it might be worth remembering also that in his mid fifties Phillip followed then 15 year old Matthew on Twitter.

(The tweet above MMs gushing excitement over the middle age celebrity looking up and following a child on Twitter is also interesting 😳😳)… Image
6/ there is also the conversations Phillip is known to have had with his brother Timothy about the child Timothy was abusing. Phillip never went to the police with this information. He has now claimed his brother told him the boy was not a minor. He also claims he told…
7/… Timothy to end it.

NOW why would a man who has said there is nothing wrong about his own relationship with a teenager above the age of consent be telling his brother to end his LEGAL relationship with a teenager?

Either Phillip knew his brother was abusing a child…
8/… and didn’t go to the police. Or he thinks it’s completely immoral to sexualise teenage boys. Either way his story doesn’t add up.

People are not wrong to suspect #PhillipSchofield of wrongdoing is because the one thing we can be sure of is that Phillip is only admitting…
9/ …to what he’s already stated in court, or has been proven by journalists.

In other words, he operates only to avoid self-incrimination.

And this is his prerogative… but given what we know about this creepy dynamic and backstory, and his abject dishonesty…
10/ we have a right and obligation to expect the worst.
