That tweeter doesn’t live in Bristol. They live in Southampton which you go through when getting off the ferry from the Isle of Wight.

gatorfisch:

Oh really? Someone else mentioned to me they were in Bristol. Interesting. But why be at a hotel, then? Unless he doesn’t reside in the property on IOW? I mean, potty break? If you are trying to avoid Covid, you wouldn’t go in to eat lunch, either. Maybe to get take-out?

I don’t think Adam and his incompetent PR realized there’s a big problem with that? You see, Benedict should still be in quarantine because there are no direct flights from NZ to the UK. NextJet dropped him off at LAX which automatically put him on the red list. There are WCs on ferries too, Ben has had his own flat on the IoW for years plus he owns multiple properties on the mainland. Technically he should be confined to one place and not be engaging in any non-essential travel, just ask Dominic Cummings. If it’s for legal etc matters however…

gatorfisch:

I do remember him talking about surfing in an interview when he was at Comic Con for The Lord of the Rings. Him and Adam were surfing on the day he took off from the Con, and they helped out some inexperienced surfers out of the big waves.

Pap wise he was staying at some celeb popular hotel (Breakers?) and he was papped reading a book on the balcony. There was another photo of the hotel window where you could see a dark haired woman and everyone was trying to figure out if it was zero, but it was thought to be someone else.

========

I wasn’t around the fandom then, so I have no idea.

Surfboards proper are narrower and far more difficult to use BTW. The Breaker’s the celebrities go to is in Long Beach and Palm Beach, I don’t recall him doing a convention there. He’s stayed at Shutters in Santa Monica, Hard Rock and the Hilton during SDCC. The very blonde Kinvara Balfour bragged about traveling there with him in 2014. The bulk of Benedict’s LOTR work was all pre ShamWow, when he was seeing other people or are you forgetting that? Furthermore, no one is questioning Benedict’s love of water sports just like no one is asking about SoFail or any other whore for that matter. What we are questioning is an odd photo that was obviously posted yesterday to push a narrative. A narrative that favors Adam and his allies rather than Benedict. Do you understand what we’re getting at OP? Stop acting stupid…

I don’t think the surfing photo is him *shrugs* Just mistaken identity. He doesn’t normally bother straightening his hair unless it’s for a role. TBH PR reps don’t spend time doing damage control for fandoms nor do they really try to ‘run’ them. What they call ‘built-in’ fans don’t merit the attention. Random social media photos don’t damage his brand, either. His brand is being peddled to the mainsteam, not a fan group. Not trying to be rude, just saying his PR doesn’t have limitless resources

gatorfisch:

That could be.

Dear PR intern, we aren’t necessarily blaming your firm. There are certain shall we say hostile parties who try their damnedest to steer the narrative in their favor. They have their own PR help, an insider told me as much. This isn’t about making Benedict look good, it’s not about even giving him simple exposure either. It’s all about their interests, we’ve already caught them staging shit, posting old photos as if they were recent, Photoshopping them, even using lookalikes. It’s really pathetic at this point and showcasing anything Isle of Wight related only favors Team Soso. In this case Adam by extension because he’s desperate to promote The Courier and brokered a deal with SoFail to use the ShamWow to generate publicity. We know that he also got involved with her family’s money laundering and drug trafficking business that’s based out of the Isle of Wight!

I could be getting this all wrong, but it seems like months go by without a word about BC or zero, then suddenly there’s a big rush of stuff, mostly generated by nannies’ claims and skeptics’ rebuttals, then more silence. What a way to run a fandom, right? LOL

gatorfisch:

Indeed. And that might just be the whole plan.

Run that and his brand into the ground is more like it. I was told that Benedict’s Team was stuck in permanent damage control mode because of all of the stunts Team Soso pulled. The fact that some of his own people sold him down the river didn’t help either. The Rat specifically mentioned Adam Ackland and given his divided loyalties he may be behind that paddleboard photo. NEWSFLASH: The theaters won’t be opening any time soon so I’d cut the PR BS out if I were you…fucking moron.

Cool idea but it also sounds like a veiled threat on behalf of the Beeb. Holmesboy dun fucked up…or was it Karon? We got Sherlock articles leading all the way up to the 10 year anniversary, then nothing? This degree of unprofessionalism isn’t Benedict’s style but it is hers, especially if she got told off. I figured Karon sold out to Team Soso ever since I saw this. This type of PR sabotage must never be tolerated again.

I got a piece of Anti hate mail that was originally sent out on 7/20 which was one day prior to the Enty Blind about SoFail’s next gig. So it wasn’t in response to anything I said about it. It was a preemptive attack and a provocation. How did she know ahead of time? That tells me that Anti is working directly with SoFail who definitely reads our blogs. I’m also saving this as evidence of your fuckery. I’m not giving you my SC information or any inside comms OK? I’m already known by certain people and that’s all I’m going to say. You really are pathetic…

I got a letter postmarked 7/18. Coincidence?

personally im thrilled that wife has her first job in decades! she has been calling herself a director for decades and finally she will actually direct! this doesn’t upset me, people deserve to work. its too bad she had to lie, but good for her. lets see how she does

gatorfisch:

Nods.

I’m not and you’re an idiot. Have you forgotten about SoFail’s collabs with Andrew Staples? She’s already tried her hand at far smaller productions time and time again! She just can’t do it. Her doomed efforts are even worse than Meghan Markle’s forays into acting! Given SoFail’s atrocious track record (and multiple felonies) she does not deserve to be given any kind of directorial position at any prestigious company over competent professionals that have dedicated their entire lives to their craft. Remember what the London opera people had to say about her after reading her half-plagiarized Guardian word salad? Her drunken babbling at that Pall Mall party? I rest my case.

The LAMDA Crisis

gatorfisch:

twowaypr:

It’s heartbreaking to see so many arts organizations struggling. I hope B can help out in some way, but it’s not up to one person to save the day. I’m hoping that the board, instructors, students, and alumni can come up with some creative ideas for fundraising (auctions, table reads, streaming events, etc.) Best wishes for LAMDA to find a way forward.

Absolutely. It’s not just him, but he’s the one we know has people reading our blogs…

Stop trying to absolve him of responsibility, it’s his duty. As President, he’s an important decision maker and he can help sway the others. If he pitched in for the likes of XR and other questionable causes he sure as fuck can do the same for LAMDA. Teachers that have been there for 40+ years are seniors by now, subject to age discrimination in an already competitive job market. Don’t they at least deserve special consideration? Apparently not.

A Good Reputation Is Worth More Than Gold

While both Bendy and Tiddles made the mistake of getting into a fauxmance, the latter was smart enough to get out on time. The result:

Tiddles had every right to chide Benedict! His own brand is still spotless and as a result he can command double. Numbers talk you stupid Nans…

Despite your best efforts, Benedict’s reputation is intact. He’s still well liked and respected in the business. You being mad at him for ignoring you won’t change that. Don’t you think it’s high time for you to come back to the real world?

gatorfisch:

LOL, his name wasn’t connected to scumbags like Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell before. Now it is, you are your friends and your beard. We didn’t damage his reputation, SoFail did. She hasn’t ruined and/or killed him yet despite her best efforts to do so. Keep lying to yourself:

PS: He knows better than to ignore the Rat because The Atlantic article was put out for a reason.

No Ben can’t simply start a Go Fund Me page, it doesn’t work that way. No he can’t single handedly solve the financial crisis LAMDA is going through. They raise money through tuition and fundraisers. Problem is, they can’t do any because of the pandemic. There’s also the fact that many of the institutions contributing to LAMDA are all in the red because of the pandemic. Try using your brain for once.

gatorfisch:

You have never heard of an endowment? People do them all the time. And last time I checked, go fund me was a…wait for it…FUNDRAISER. There are all sorts of ways to do fundraising nonny…not the least of which is VIRTUALLY.

Yeah, they are fucking morons. SoFail’s still getting paid to do fuck all (as usual) even in the middle of a pandemic! I know for a fact that she gets more than a LAMDA FT faculty staff member’s yearly salary each month. How many jobs could that save? 15-20? She had the nerve to use some shady ass GoFundMe as a PR mill not long ago so don’t give me this crap. If some rando like Captain Tom Moore raised millions on top of his own donation an A-Lister like Benedict can do the same for his own school! If this doesn’t change people will start seeing through the fake philanthropy…

I really don’t think you understand what Ben’s role is with LAMDA. But that’s not surprising coming from you. Haven’t you made a big enough fool of yourself already?

gatorfisch:

Did you not see that he’s one of the decision makers? I mean, I do understand reading comprehension is not a nanny strong point, but still. Oh, and why doesn’t he use his birthday, etc. and trying to raise money so they won’t have to lay anyone else off? Do a Go fund me or something. I mean, he could even donate to it…oh wait…he’s lost a ton of money since getting married…well, why not use some of the Letters Live performances to raise money for it? Of course, we’re STILL waiting for the financials to be disclosed…hey Shaun Usher, maybe you could help?!

Oy vey…“married” not married 🤨. Instead of laying off productive members of society fire SoFail! Instead of burning money on that good-for-nothing, Benedict can start acting like LAMDA President by donating that same amount to his Alma Mater. It’d probably keep the whole damn school afloat for another year until this pandemic passes. You know who did something like that for a struggling theatre company? Helen Mirren, what a class act she is.

You had guts, I would have never give an interview. There’s something I can’t grasp: his career’s sparks ended few years ago, Sherlock is dead, Tumblr is dead, general public doesn’t care… For who was that piece, what/who she wanted to address, what’s the point on giving space to “mad cat ladies conspiracy” on a dead website, why waiting 6 years?

gatorfisch:

All good questions. All I can say is that I smell a Rat.

Exactly. Much as Eddie Redmayne and other rivals of his backing SoFail would have liked? Benedict’s career isn’t quite dead…yet. His star has faded but he’s still under contract with Marvel Studios for at least a year and a half more. Phase 4 is hinging on DS2 so they are worried about how the massive scandals up ahead will affect their investment. OP seems to forget that the general public does care about the terrible crimes that Epstein’s network has committed. Let’s face it, SoFail makes Benedict look guilty AF by association but the Rat prefers to end the ShamWow with as little drama as possible. That being said, they will blow it wide open if the parties involved don’t cooperate. In their own words, the Rat is so legally insulated that they could survive in outer space! As an aside, the BBC also wants the Sherlock franchise to continue but S5 won’t happen until this mess is completely resolved.

gatorfisch:

Waves to Zero. Forced to do this petty stuff to get your name mentioned?! Snort

A pig sty? Do you have any idea how bad that sounds? Hey Ned, I know that your dear cousin SoFail told Dafydd that if he didn’t mention her in every single blurb she wouldn’t donate shit. That’s not very charitable and using a piddly 5K “donation” as an excuse to promote herself over 5 times in 3 months looks mingy and naff. Unfortunately, by extension, Benedict’s brand now does as well. We haven’t forgotten about your little friend Seiriol Davies either:

Zero has a handler? But why? To prevent her to talk to journalists? BC showed us he can do it himself. She did an interview once and couldn’t help plagiarising another woman and the thing was just the verbal diarrhea of miss full of shit. This bitch is so talented to fuck up she needs a guy to prevent her to fuck up even more. BC married such a fucking loser but it was exactly what he wanted, Olivia has a career, Anna too, he can’t bear not being the successful one. He’s a self centered twat.

Not just one. SoFail has had Handlers because she too was MK’d, why do you think she’s so fucked up? I was told that she wasn’t all there to begin with 🤪. I also wouldn’t doubt that the Birkins were behind her programming as well. Just because Benedict put his foot down that one time doesn’t mean that he can control her. She tends to do whatever she wants but likely avoids giving interviews to look less dimwitted than she already does. But she does not keep quiet, she talks to journalists and anyone who she thinks can give her a leg up. Problem is, she’s so delusional that all they do is laugh at her and talk behind her back, “Most of the stuff about her (Sophie Hunter) comes from people she brags to or talks to. The people that she wants to make movies with, takes lunches with, those are the people that are spilling. Those are the people that tell me stuff about her and that’s how it always is.  What she wants out of life is to be on the cover of every single magazine, and to have everybody know her as Sophie Hunter, not Benedict Cumberbatch’s wife. That’s what she wants.” WTF? Her demands are impossible to satisfy because she has nothing to offer the public and Benedict’s talent isn’t fairy dust that can rub off on her! If that doesn’t prove how pointless and stupid the ShamWow is I don’t know what does. I’ve heard that Benedict is ambitious and that he can be thirsty but we all know that a fauxmance from hell is not what he wanted. I don’t think he’d have too many problems with a successful (and sane) civilian SO because they wouldn’t be in direct competition with one another. When you are both vying for publicity you will inevitably step on each others toes and that causes resentment. I mean, RDJ doesn’t have to worry about Susan trying to steal his spotlight…
