Social Media - That was an eyeopener

[maymorganlondon]

I try to abide by some sound advice I was given... Mainly in a professional capacity, but also valid in personal life: never put in writing something you'd be embarrassed to try and justify in court.

Social media is only as private as the participants treat it... Which in this case is not private at all as people share this offensive outburst.

It will all blow over, no doubt, but were I to see SC out and about with his hubby, I'd give them a wide berth...

And the people saying it isn't something to fuss about should imagine how they would feel to find a horrible, abusive, cruel message from an angry man.

He may have alleged some have been homophobic, but his aggressive reaction is bordering on misogynistic. Pots and kettles...!

Wow!

Unable to sleep so started reading this thread backwards. Got as far as the actual post and the penny's dropped! I now recognise SC's husband, from his pic and his gossiping to me about his husband being a YC TV presenter and shop owner.

What's really shocked me is that guy seems so nice IRL. Works as a manager in customer services, too, so should know better than to post anything like that on the net. I'd imagine his company wouldn't look kindly on an employee giving that kind of impression.

I'm no stranger to bad language having worked in mostly male-oriented workplaces, but none of the men I've worked with have ever spouted anything like that in front of me. Bad form.

He's supposed to love his husband yet didn't think about him when potentially damaging his husbands career, yes it mightn't be directly anything to do with Steven himself but by not coming out and distancing himself from those indecent, abusive comments then technically Steven is condoning them, so I doubt any company would want a "brand ambassador" who thinks that sort of language and behaviour is ok.

What's that old saying? Oh yeah "poop sticks"

I see one female saying she was called that name all the time and people should get over it

If true that is sad, she has no respect for herself. Any man called me that simply, I would rip them apart!

I have a few female friends along with myself who use the term cupid stunt, but referring to ourselves when we do something stupid! Want to call yourself a C, okay that is up to you but not others especially males. Its a word of HATE used to attack women's sexuality when men say it in anger.

Social Media is a scary place and never personal! I remember reading someone saying that they won't post pics of their family & even themselves but now constantly post Selfies and they are one of the biggest Groupies on Fakebook!

Let you can guess who they are? Yes, they like beauty products and also stalk certain Presenters! Sad but true :mysmilie_468::mysmilie_61::mysmilie_846:

Well I've spent ages on FB this morning and just cannot find the QVC page that contains the various comments mentioned throughout this thread. Could someone point me in the right direction please, I hate to miss out!

Look in the visitors' posts section of the QVC FB page. It was posted yesterday morning (9am ish?) so you need to scroll past lots of pictures of plants to find it.

 

[AndiK]

I can't see the posts either. I used to be able to scroll back several days but now can only go back about one day max before it asks me to log in. I don't know if that's QVC stopping people or Facebook. If it's QVC, it's stupid because they are effectively excluding anyone who doesn't take part in the bitchfest that is their badly managed Facebook page.

If I was a YC customer on Q I would not be ordering anything when SC was on that's for sure as Q look at orders generated and he will not get a sale from me.

Not sure I get why Miss Molly. It was his OH that sent the vile messages.

I would of thought he was aware of the message and could of apologised. It is just my opinion but I won't be ordering when he is on.

I see where you are coming from, loveheart, but I was thinking the same as miss molly. Maybe Steven's been told (by QVC/YC) to ignore it and it'll go away but I think he ought to apologise instead of which he's not even acknowledging the fact his nasty partner sent abusive messages. To me, that's a big mistake. His silence could be seen as tacit agreement with what was said, or at least acceptance of this type of behaviour. Now that it's all out in the open, he can't really ignore it .. in my humble opinion.

I don't know what messages my OH sends to people so maybe he wasn't aware at the time. Obviously he knows now and I'm guessing YC and or QVC are dealing with it so I doubt it's been swept under the carpet.

That's what I meant he is aware of it now. I doubt Q will deal with it, anyway in the scheme of things there are more important things to worry about but in future whenever I see SC i will think of that vile message and won't order simple as that.

Same here! I looked today and - miracle! - could actually open the comments (one nice post about SC had the comment it's a shame his partner is so rude) but when I tried to scroll to the original complaints to see the comments FB asked me to log in to continue. Still I am sure this thread will keep us up to date with any developments. I hope it doesn't backfire on Steven.

No doubt it will all be forgotten by the time the next Yankee tsv is aired and possibly being sold by Steven. People are fickle, one minute up in arms about abusive messages sent to qvc customers ( rightly so ) but the next minute chomping at the bit to buy blobs of smelly wax in glass jars. QVC will be more than glad all those flower photos were posted yesterday because it pushed the thread about abusive messages so far down the visitor posts that many people wouldn`t be able to access them let alone read them.
There have been many up in arms threads on Q`s facebook pages over the years, think charity auction, presenter sackings, presenter self promotion and so on and so on but Q always seems to just let people rant and sit back to let threads eventually die a death. This latest one will be no different but if I`d received one of those nasty vile messages I would certainly be taking it further than QVC`s facebook page.

If they were abusive messages sent to individuals (as I've inferred from all these posts) then it could well be a police matter

When the log in pops up just click on not now and it goes away and you can continue

 

[Mazza]

Yes I get that pop up when I first look at FB and do click on not now. But when strolling through the messages, after a while a very small box pops up with no not now option, just log in if you want to continue......... otherwise go away!

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Is it just me or are there an unusual number of posts thanking SC PERSONALLY for their order.

These people need to get a grip
