Sam Pepper is a rapist. Oh yea we totally shouldn’t gossip about a rapist,
lets all just ignore it and let him get away with it! pfft
I can’t believe sam pepper just tweeted this video… just when he’s being
accused of raping a girl and sexually harassing/abusing girls. He’s
basically attempting to discredit those claims by dismissing it as
“gossip”.
this is what happens when you have a deep lack of respect for your viewers
and followers, it’s like he thinks we’re all very very stupid. disgusted.
Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people.
Gossip = saying behind their back what you’d never say to their face.
Flattery = saying to their face what you’d never say behind their back
Why do we gossip?
Because we’re assholes. All of us.
Sam Pepper sent me.
That old man has the “anti-hitler” stache
Gossip feels so good in the moment, but when I walk away from it, it’s like
my stomach is filled with rocks. I absolutely hate the gossip hangover and
I’d love to abstain completely from the cancer forever! So much easier said
than done…
This might be a just a justification, but I think there’s a difference
between gossiping with your friends and spreading false or vicious rumours.
Complaining to your work friends that you all hate your boss, that’s
gossip. It’s not the best thing, yes it could hurt someone’s feelings, but
I think we’re all guilty of it. But going around and telling everyone your
boss had an affair with your co-worker, to me that’s crossing a line. So is
gossip bad? Yes. But I think we’re all guilty of it. I think it’s naive of
us to think that nobody ever gossips about us, ever. And yes, it is hurtful
to hear that people think a certain thing about you. But I don’t think
anyone is guilt free. We all make judgements. We all have people we
dislike.
i like gossip because i love to tell stories and hear stories.
This was a great video :)
Sam pepper is a moron.
Just so you know sam pepper is trying to use your video to dismiss sexual
harassment claims made against him.
Sam Pepper just tweeted this video, probably to guilt trip those that are
gossiping about him lol #rapist
can someone tell me why did Sam Pepper posted this video on twitter?
i wish you harm sam pepper
What does this have to do with rape? #SamPepper
we gossip when we dont hear the truth from the horses mouth
Its a pity Sam Pepper tweeted this video, cause the videos really good and
insightful but now all the comments are gonna be about him instead of the
video, he tried to use this video as a weapon to justify his shitty actions
and now the videos gonna take the damage :(
(TLDR warning) I did not talk about Sam Pepper on social media just to
gossip. This is much more serious than that.
I was expressing my concerns about sexual assault and rape allegations made
against Sam Pepper, one of which dates back to July, which the accusers had
no requirement to make but did. His agent has actually claimed part of the
reason they were making these allegations was for attention-seeking, which
not only does nothing to invalidate the allegations but also lacks any
sense: I can’t see any possible benefits these people could get out of
lying like this.
If a sexual assault victim does approach the police, it can be somewhat
difficult to prove their case, and it is perfectly possible their case will
be rejected. You can only imagine how difficult such a prospect must be for
an actual victim to cope with.
Sam Pepper could have vehemently denied these accusations from the outset
or file legal action against Dottie Martin or any other accusers he could
identify. Instead, he seems to have gone very, very quiet, almost as if he
is unwilling to speak right now.
I’m not saying I’m taking sides with the accusers but in my view, Sam
Pepper’s side of this story is looking shaky at best right now.
…coz it’s fun as hell to kick Sam Pepper when he’s down.
Why r you creeps still stalking Sams twitter? if u hate him and he sent you
here then you’re obsessed with him, get a life lol and im here cuz im still
a fan!
I gossip cause I hate people
1:16 if Hitler and him kissed. Their mustaches wouldn’t touch.
lol sam pepper is just making it even worse for himself. he’s totally
finished
