b) be quite pleased that Ms Wade battered Mr Kemp

at the same time?

surely it's not, in a world shorn of platonic ideals.

i really think that hijacking this perfectly amusing thread to emphasise, as if it were a revelation, that it is also bad when women hit men is just not on.

everyone knows it's bad when women hit men. i'm a man and i would really rather not be hit.

I don't think there's some great 'right' or 'truth' that needs recognising here.

barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Thursday, 3 November 2005 12:52 (eighteen years ago) link

it is true that there's a double-standard and i will admit i wouldn't be lolling if kemp had hit wade.

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Thursday, 3 November 2005 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Domestic abuse directed by women towards men is something that it's easy to laugh at, because we either think it doesn't happen, or because we think men should be too tuff to let it happen. It's not funny.

However, under the circumstances, I can see the morbidly ironic side of Ross 'Ultimate Force' Kemp being bullied by Rebekah 'used the paper to campaign against domestic violence' Wade.

scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 3 November 2005 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

An acquaintance of mine has an abusive partner (though she might have got better now, it was a wee while ago). It was really difficult when I worked with him. One time he came into work with his head completely covered in scratches, and we'd have to sypathise when he told us that a kitten had done it. Another time he 'fell off his bike'. He knew we all knew, and we knew he knew we knew. He was open about her mental illness, but didn't want to talk about the physical effects on him. It was pretty horrible.

this is because in most cases a man is more likely to do some serious damage to a woman than vice versa. obv there are a billion examples that could be used to counter this, but nevertheless true.

also, the specific example which we are talking about involves a large, musclebound man, frequently cast in tough guy roles, who one would not think could easily be harmed by ms wade. this is why this situation is specifically and particularly funny.

barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Thursday, 3 November 2005 12:55 (eighteen years ago) link

But such attitudes only reinforce violence and discrimination against women. Complete dud IMO.

In a bizarre twist, it later emerged that McFadden's former partner had also been arrested and then released over an alleged assault on him.

Please tell me it was Lucy Benjamin so we can have a real-life version of Who Shot Slapped Phil? story and him what played Dan (OK, I know his name's Craig Fairbrass but I don't want to appear sad) will end up getting framed for it. Or something.

Someone I know used to go out with one of the actors on Eastenders (a major character) and she reported that Ross Kemp was lovely and everyone really liked him and was sad when he left. The same was not said of Steve McFadden, or his missus-at-the-time. Apparently they used to row all the time and really piss everybody off because they acted like it was their show and no-one elses.

Soap hardman beaten by ex

Cops go to
Ross row


BRUV 2

EASTENDERS hardman Ross Kemp was caught up in a real-life drama yesterday when police turned up at his home in the small hours.

Ross, who has won millions of new viewers after returning to the soap as Grant Mitchell, opened the door to find four officers on his front step.

The cops said they were investigating an allegation that he had been assaulted by his wife Rebekah Wade, who is editor of The Sun.

Ms Wade, 37, was arrested at the house in Battersea, South London, and taken to a nearby police station.



Rebekah and Ross ...
'fuss about nothing'


She was held for eight hours before being released without any charge or a caution.

Ms Wade, who became Sun editor at the beginning of 2003, was not even interviewed by police during her stay at the station.

Ross, 41 — also the star of ITV’s hit series Ultimate Force about the SAS — did not sustain any injuries.

A cut to his lip which was reported by news agencies had in fact been sustained during filming.

Ms Wade was also not hurt during the incident which was described as an “old-fashioned row” between a married couple.

The couple, who wed three years ago, had returned to their home together at 3am after attending a birthday party.

Earlier Ms Wade had also seen fallen Cabinet Minister David Blunkett who had quit as Work and Pensions Secretary in the morning.

As soon as she was released from police custody, Ms Wade returned to The Sun’s offices at Wapping, East London, to mastermind production of today’s newspaper.

Last night she said: “It was just a silly row which got out of hand.”

Ross said: “It was a lot of fuss about nothing.”

Frogm@n Henry, Friday, 4 November 2005 10:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Latest rumour: Wade came home to find Kemp in compromising situation with his "lifelong friend" Guy Black (Michael Howard's press secretary).

Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 November 2005 11:36 (eighteen years ago) link

guy black was formerly involved in the whole prince charles butler-rape scenario, i think.

I thought that rung a bell but now I can't find anything saying that. But I'm going to stop looking cause this is all a bit sick.

The Kemp -> POW link:

Together, they are reckoned to have become one of Britain's most influential media couples since marrying in 2002, and count leading figures in the political and media establishment among their friends.
These include Guy Black, press secretary to Michael Howard, the Tory leader. Black is a childhood friend of Kemp and they remain close.

He and his partner Mark Boland, the Prince of Wales's press secretary, have been on holiday with Wade and Kemp.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 4 November 2005 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

The friend added: “After they split up they had an agreement that Angela could stay in the house, but would not go into the garage. Steve popped in on Tuesday and found Angela in there rifling through his personal stuff.


OI, GEH AWWT OF ME CAR LOT, SON.

Ross Kemp at the Baftas:

Ex-EastEnders star Ross Kemp was unrepentant about winning best factual series ahead of Stephen Fry's documentary on manic depression and family history programme Who Do You Think You Are?

"We've been shot at," he said of his show, which profiled gangs around the world.

"We've been in prisons where people are raped on a regular basis. I've been on my own on a number of occasions with people who are multiple murderers.

"I interviewed a man who'd shot 16 people through the head before his 10th birthday."

And to celebrate the recognition for his work, he was "definitely going to get smashed" after the ceremony, he quipped.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Friday, 10 January 2020 12:59 (four years ago) link

six months pass...

Sometimes I’d review the third episode with an actor – no director present.

On the occasion of the uniform episode, I’d invited Ross Kemp.

I gave him sugared coffee and my most comfortable chair. I turned the TV towards him so the screen wouldn’t flare with the sun finding gaps in the BBC blinds.

We watched in parallel and, apart from my scribbling and his laboured breathing, in silence.

A silence broken as the scissors sliced the khaki.

For a moment, I thought the sound guys had gone overboard with stereo effects. But no - in my right ear I had Grant sobbing on the marital bed and in my left ear Ross sobbing in my comfortable chair.

The actor had been overwhelmed by his own performance.

“Am I really as good I as I think I am?” he asked, shaking the tears from his big round eyes.
