In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Padmé and Anakin cosplay taken too far.
If this is true, how can a person be this much of a fecking hypocrite.
Would really like to walk a mile in the shoes if someone with such a weird set of morals.

Must be said, paying someone off doesn't mean it happened.
Yes agreed but it would be a strange move if she is innocent though.
Excuse my ignorance, but what else could it mean? Considering how outspoken she has been, why wouldn't she fight this?
Article says there was a photo of them in bed. We're still light on the details but it doesn't look good.
I was talking generally. On this particular case,we don't have that much detail.
Light on details? The details are fairly graphic.
Seems fairly straight forward.

Thanks for replying, but that really doesn't answer my question at all. I fail to understand the circumstances that would lead to her paying so much if she hadn't done anything wrong.
Yeah my bad. The article I read didn't go into explicit detail.
Indeed. People generally don't splash out 380k in hush money for no reason at all.
I have always thought some celebrities pay money to make problems go away even if it isn't true.
There have been rumours about this for a while, haven't there? That she had done something to an underage boy.
He was 17 at the time? If there's consent it wouldn't be an issue in the UK.
Still looks pretty bad from a #MeToo perspective.

That's probably true mate.
However, in a situation like this? Surely she'd fight it tooth and nail considering what she has accused Weinstein of and the wider implications in the case against him.
It surely sets a precedence doesn't it? I just don't get why she would here. It makes no sense to me in any way, so I was hoping someone with doubt would come up with a reasonable answer.
$380k is a lot of money to pay just to bang a 17 year old.
Reposting....
What's the going rate these days?
130k
Looking through her Twitter account she seemed obsessed with this Jimmy Bennett
I heard of that earlier today, but that detailed description makes it a lot more grim. I had no idea she had been close to the kid for so long and from such an early age.
She must be some piece of work. Those rumours after Bourdain's death didn't paint her in a good light either.

Crikey. On first glance I thought what's the biggie, the bloke surely consented. But reading that account, it was pretty creepy given she's known him since he was a young kid when she was an adult at the time.
Thought she was a crazy person after Bourdain's death. Guess she actually is. The level of hypocrisy of this woman. It's hard to comprehend how you can be such a fake fecking cnut.
Kills me to be “that guy” but swap genders and the whole grooming thing would immediately trigger a load of paedophilia accusations.
Agreed, but rightly or wrongly it does seem worse when it's the woman is the victim tbh, given we know how sex mad teenage boys are. Or maybe we're just conditioned to think like that?
Yes, young men can also be emotionally traumatised by exploitative sexual relationships.
Yeah. I don't know how to describe it but I'm pretty sure that I would have been kind of scared, I'm not sure if it's the correct word, boys and men like to put a brave face but when you are 17 a 37 years old women is an other world, even if I fancied her a million of things would have come into my head and I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have handled it well.
Well given who he married, Woody Allen got away with that one for years!
Is it possible that the truth is somewhere in the middle?
Yes, young men - just like young women - can be emotionally traumatised by exploitative sexual relationships. Which is something we're conditioned to ignore.
Similarly, young women - just like young men - can be enthusiastic participants in sexual relationships where there is a big power/age imbalance and emerge unscathed at the other end? Which is also something that we're being told doesn't happen.
Wow.
Unbelievable.
Need more women to come out and rail on her really. What a nasty hypocrite.

Firstly, well played sex pests. Very well played.
Secondly, we need to get this guy his Luckiest Boy in America medal, immediately.
