I haven't quoted because it is three miles long, but in answer to Green Man, no I don't think Big Brother exploited Gary Busey. He had his limitations, and quirks, and the other cast members (mostly) were very kind to him and made allowances, as you would for any other disability.
He won the show.

With now over 40,000 views this thread can disappear down the Forum but as a last note - contacts tell me that vital comments by Cliff, Paul and Neil were included in the Rough Cut all three saw but had been edited out of the transmitted show (a trick media uses). And some vital facts about Mark Williams Thomas that both Cliff and Paul gave to the programme makers were not included and he was not asked for comment on them. Why not? We should be told. It's called BALANCE; something sadly missing in media these days.

Yes many know it and have commented but still the majority prefers not to notice.

"Is it true you tried to sell the names and contacts of Jonathan King's false accusers to the national newspapers?". When talking about naming those accused, the interviewer - so far - fails to ask "Is it possible that the dozens prompted to come forward after publicity about a famous and wealthy person might have been motivated by greed or some other reason?". Why ever not? Hopefully these things - as well as the fact that Rolf Harris was declared Not Guilty of many charges on appeal, may emerge soon...
If you have this information why haven't you made it public?
Judge Deborah Taylor referred to it in her judgement after your trial in 2018.

Yes - the Judges believed the women were speaking the truth. I'm sure they were. They interpreted events - in hindsight and totally influenced by the media agenda which, these days, is that a peck on a cheek is rape - they genuinely believed they were victims. They weren't. He was.
Gary Busey has been charged, the man had horrific head injuries in the late 1980's. Now Gary is nearly 80 and probably has early dementia also. I have watched Gary Busey on numerous reality TV shows and interviews. His films were nearly always on TV in the late 90s on North America TV.
He is normally just loud and very hyper when being interviewed and his acting has changed considerably over the last 20 years.
My mate Jim-boy has been to dozens to film conventions and has met Gary Busey several times at the conventions. He always said he was loud but did pose for photos, always approachable and he sign memorabilia without hesitation.
Jim-boy did say you can tell Gary's faculties are getting bad when he last saw a few years ago, his speech is getting worse and also looked more uncoordinated than usual. I will have to Jim-boy if he saw him at the convention where the incident happened.
It is very worrying about Gary Busey. He was in a horrible accident and suffered brain damage which he could not completely recover from.
He was in Celebrity Big Brother a few years ago, and he kept exposing himself but not in a sexual way. He also did this "thing" where he pulls his trousers down and fiddles with his injured knee when the pain gets too bad. I am not sure exactly what is happening, but he is clearly not right, poor man. I don't know what happened at the convention, but I am sure the media are fully aware that what they are portraying as "masturbation in public" is just some poor damaged sod who is unaware and in terrible pain.
That's interesting I saw him on Celebrity Apprentice (probably the last time I watched proper TV) he kept flashing when he wore a dressing gown, it was done in humour but again inappropriate. Penn Jillette actually knew how to cope with Gary and knew how to humour him. However there were times when he was actually acting sane but he quickly flipped like a light switch. Some say it's an act however people who suffered recovered from strokes also do strange things in an instant.
Dementia is a cruel disease it eats you whilst you're alive. The people who suffer are loved ones.
I found it...
So Channel 4 have exploited another vulnerable person for ratings.
