Scandal?

I see Boris Johnson’s ex lover Jennifer Arcuri is stirring it up for him and telling ‘all’ to a newspaper.

How do people live with scandal and recover from it? They must be haunted by it, or do they just brush it off?

Have you ever had a bit of scandal in your life, or know of anyone who has?

Is scandal easier to live with in these modern times?

Re: Scandal?

I once rang up one of the national newspapers asking them if they would like my story of wild drug and alcohol fuelled sex parties on remote islands in sunny climates, my fee was £500,000, they said they were very interested and when did all this happen..?, I said, “ it hasn’t yet, but if you give me the money”,,,,,!!

No doubt money involved, kiss and tell?

Scandal.....I think a few celebrities have committed suicide over scandals, haven’t they?

Depends on your definition of scandal....look at poor Caroline Flack, wasn’t her suicide to do with a personal scandal, regarding her boyfriend?

As for myself.......no scandal to share.

Re: Scandal?

In 1984 when my children were small, l got an 8 hours a week receptionist job at a local Squash and Leisure Centre. Everyone who was employed there got a free membership

Unknown to other staff, a cleaner who worked there was having a sexual relationship with a schoolboy.

She was found out because she was reported by a member of the club who saw them in the jacuzzi, doing you know what!

It was reported in the News Of The World newspaper and other papers but whenever the reporters rang, we had to say, ‘No Comment’!

Annie, l was wondering that too as l posted it. It was so many years ago, l’m not sure?

I remember the police were involved but l don’t know if she went to prison.

Re: Scandal?

A friend of mine once featured on the front page of the News of the World - the headline was "The Man From The Ministry and The Gay Divorcee" .....

It should be noted that the "affair" took place before "gay" assumed its' current use in the vernacular .....

Re: Scandal?

I saw the headlines about Boris all over the front page this morning, and thought of the old saying about "A woman scorned."

If she loved him as much as she says in her story, she wouldn't be doing this to him now.

There is more behind this revelation than we know IMO, but money and spite figure high on my list.
