I would really prefer to take everybody at their word and assume truth all round until it is proven, but this woman, an independent writer, carried on working for the man, finished his book, and only mentioned it once the hoo-ha was in full swing?
I think I can hear the bucket of compo money jangling. 
She said in the interview that she had decided to go on with the ghostwriting job because she needed to pay her bills and had turned down other jobs for it. She also said that Wallace had required her to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Plus she mentioned embarrassment over the whole thing and how excruciating it was to go public. There was no mention of any kind of any longterm harmful effect on her, so I didn't have the impression she'd be after compo. She said that she wasn't being paid for the interview.
Another thing: she's unlikely to be jumping on the bandwagon with an invented story because she'd e-mailed a friend just after the events with a description of what Wallace had done. |

Maybe they've been asked for comment. To say "I'm saying nothing until the facts have been established" would probably bring condemnation as it would imply they think the accusations are false. |

I hate how Torrode, Wareing etc are all wading in and distancing themselves. Just as distasteful as groping a woman's bum without permission. I shan't be watching the show anymore for that reason, not Wallace.
I see nothing wrong with them distancing themselves, if they weren't engaging in the same behaviour as Wallace or weren't aware of what he was doing and want to make that clear. If they were aware and turned a blind eye, then that is to be condemned.
I watched Newsnight last night, an interview with Wallace's ghostwriter. If she's telling the truth, and that was my impression, Wallace really must be a digusting creep.

If they knew and said nothing wading in now makes them hypocrites. If they did not know then surely, until anything is established, a dignified silence would be preferable and more worthy for a man they have worked alongside for decades... |
