Christopher "Weinstein" Gayle!

In reply to Fairfax Media... Really! KMFT!

In reply to Larr Pullo


That don't blush baby talk won't help his case

Poor Chris, I told him don't hang out with Natty

Oh, what a conundrum in the days of the p grabber, Cosby, and Weinstein.

The good thing about this is that there was someone (D Smith) there to vouch for Chris and refute her aspersion on his good name.

In reply to TheTrail

You tink de mananger at the time, will be asked to testify about his memo to the team and whether he confronted anyone with regard to the veracity of the claim?

This would be interesting and pertinent to the matter.

In reply to TheTrail

Did Dwayne Smith say that the incident did not occur, or that he did not see it happen? I imagine he will be a key witness and that proceeding.

In reply to Courtesy and Walco

I cannot see that happening - he could testify as much as he like about the memo - it has no bearing on the case.

There were three people in the room - two said it never happened - IMHO, I believe the two that it never happened.

Paraphrasing: Dwayne said under oath that he (Gayle) did not flash any pipe at her.

In reply to TheTrail

If indeed a memo was written by the manager in relation to this (especially if it was written in a serious tone) it can be exploited by paper's lawyers. The reason for the memo and the circumstances surrounding it will be exploited.

Why did the mananger have to issue the memo, did he include the matter in his mananger's report...was the WICB at the time notified of the incident?

These matters can direct the case.

she said she went in to look for a sandwich but when Gayle asked her why she was there she said she was looking for a towel. Was the towel to wrap the sandwich?

In reply to camos

No, de Snake was hiding wrapped up in the towel. That must of scared the shit out of her when Gayle unwrapped the towel causing the Snake to fall out.

In reply to Toney

So not a joke. I'm sure y'all have female relatives.

Dwayne Smith is a witness for Gayle. The same Dwayne Smith who according to the story, "admitted he sent a text to Russell that simply said "sexy" after she massaged him the day before the Gayle incident"!

Linky Link

Also re Dwayne Smith, real smooth with the ladies, eh?

In reply to Larr Pullo

I have no idea whether this alleged incident actually occurred, but Toney’s reaction is not the least bit surprising. The behavior alleged by Gayle’s accuser, and much worse, is for the most part condoned in the Caribbean.

The president of the United States would dismiss it as locker room talk

Interesting allegation.

In reply to Larr Pullo

why are you so sure that the incident took place as reported by the lady?

In reply to camos... you really had to ask.

In reply to natty_forever


was just pointing out something for other posters.

Hola...I was not there...so will not pass judgement...however what is cool in one"s country is not acceptable in a foreign land...and we all need to be wary of this...especially us ..with sex appeal..or we think we have...
I would not dare whistle or make a remark about a female today...not want to end up in jail..
Just would do it with syle and class...not crass behaviour..
Adios

The timing of this trial as it coincides with the Weinstein fiasco won't do any good for Gayle's suit. He should be gearing himself for the counter-suit.

Still most of us will be left wondering what justification the woman had for entering the Men's dressing room, and what were her expectations. Just suppose the gender of the actors were reversed, what would've transpired?

In reply to CITYBOY

... if he exposed himself, that not cool anywhere. However, the question is, did he?

In reply to Drapsey

she has a tall order to prove that Gayle flashed her, the witness she named does not support her story.

In reply to camos

Based on a post (with a link) on this page, the witness' credibility is now being challenged.

In reply to camos

Not saying it did, just saying the situation is not cool for women.

In reply to camos

The question is did she make a report immediately. Seems like Courtesy is saying she did and a warning or caution was issued to the players as a result. Would such a caution be issued without probable cause?

The trial may hinge on how Smith holds up as key witness....

In reply to Larr Pullo

Gayle will be praying he doesn't take his ODI Test form into the courtroom then....

hmmmm...didn't a Digital rep once complain about more numbers than runs?

Chris needs to start prepping his appeal. Kangaroo court in session?

In reply to Walco

isn't it a libel case against a media company?

In reply to Larr Pullo

Don't mek me remind dis rumshop about your own.

In reply to Chrissy

?????

Please remind me, or make that us...

Ah gats me chair and popcorn ready

Two things puzzle me

1. Why would a masseuse of all people be surprised and distraught about what was exposed to her in whilst going into a mens dressing room?

2.Why would a woman in 2017 be offended with a text saying she is sexy? You text or say that to women nowadays and they reply "Thank you!"


Furthermore she fb messaged someone saying " Gayle is a lazy assed (bleep)"..sounds like a jilted and bitter lover to me considering she is not even a hot looker....but then again we all know she is really claiming for fame here.

In reply to camos

She was looking for a sandwich but found sausage instead.

In reply to black... and needed a towel to wrap it?

In reply to camos

You apparently do not think Gayle has the right to appeal if he loses

In reply to analyst-kid.

like a nurse giving a male patient a bath and surprise his dick got hard!

In reply to analyst-kid

Dude, if your daughter or sister worked in a professional field, would you say the same?
We males must respect females, they are not our toys.
Gayle may or may not had exposed himself to her, if he did, it was wrong.

In reply to openning

Maybe the worst post you ever made.

Are you trying to interfere with the laws of nature?

The woman chose to become a therapist giving her access to males bodyparts. What would she expect?

When we would empathize with the woman from the "Blush" incident because of the environment in which it occurred, here we're talking about a woman entering a male dressing-room.

Again, what would she expect?

In reply to Drapsey

Would Gayle feel the same about a Male Masseuse? Or how about a homosexual male masseuse? Since he can't restrain himself around a woman...

In reply to Drapsey

Dude, we all go to professional people, we just don't expose ourselves, until we are asked to do so.
Only a week or so ago, a quarterback, had to apologized for his remarks, on a question asked by a female reporter.
Every time I get a massage, or get a medical procedure done, I am robe

What is the above has to do with the case?
Do you usually take your pants down before being asked to do so?

In reply to openning

Left dem fellas man. It it it appears that the only massages kid, camos and Drapsey have ever had are those with happy endings

In reply to Larr Pullo

Perhaps players of the WI dressing room were engaged in a competition to see who could “bag” the masseuse.

In reply to Drapsey

Entering the room maybe part of her work area

Some of us are just willing to jump on a bandwagon without any access to facts. Seems like we can save the courts time and money by expediting judgement.

In reply to Walco

Look, Gayle and the rest of the team probably had more than enough stray cyat around to keep him busy. Leh de woman do her job in peace. He and the fellas could let that one pass outside the off stump, if of course her allegations are true.

In reply to runout

So you think absolutely NOTHING happened and the woman dreamed the whole thing up.

In reply to Larr Pullo
When Bill Cosby was accused a number of people jumped to defend him. {the usual suspects}
Now the same for Bill O'Reilly or Harvie

In reply to Larr Pullo
No, I am saying that we do not know what the facts are...there is currently a legal inquiry to determine what happened, based on the evidence. So the courts are still going through the process, but we have already reached our respective conclusion without the necessary facts.

I am not agreeing, nor disagreeing. I am just not readily jumping the gun.

In reply to black

You mean a sausage roll !

In reply to Larr Pullo

Now you're the one trying to change the laws of nature.

As I asked somewhere before, what if the genders of the actors were reversed and the male therapist (or whatever) entered the females' dressing room?

In reply to Drapsey

That female should be fully dress, and await the therapist.
A female therapist should be as professional as a male.
There are certain things should be out of bounds.

In reply to openning

My deduction from reading about the events in question...

The female therapist made an unscheduled visit to the male dressing-room, supposedly to get some soda. Somehow her need for a towel arose (not sure whether she developed the urge for the towel because she saw Gayle clad in one), maybe to wipe any excess soda from mouth (or wherever). The fact that all this is taking place in a male dressing room remains at least suspect to me.

It remains uncertain how the dialog about the towel started, but for a woman to be in a male dressing-room asking about the availability of a towel when the males present were clad only in towels, would evoke the question about her motives any day of the week, society notwithstanding.

In reply to Walco

Dwayne Smith is also a very close friend of Chris which makes the credibility of his statements questionable.

In reply to Drapsey

This article make things a little clearer.

Link Text

She was a member of the team, she was allowed in the dressing room.

In reply to Drapsey

I cannot address the above, I just do not know the protocol of the management team, when entering the locker rooms
BTW, she was part of the WI support staff, not a groupie.
I am aware in other sports, that during locker interviews, players must be fully dress.

In reply to analyst-kid

You are taking the statement at face (or headline) value. She was being harassed at various points by various members of the team hence why she had already complained to Richie. She was distraught because she was subjected to discrimination in her job based on her gender.


You cannot be serious?! Why should a woman in her professional capacity, be expected to tolerate texts like that? She is there for work and it is not work-related to be sending people texts calling them "sexy". That would not be tolerated in a US or UK workplace so why should she have tolerated that? The fact is, most of these players have little respect for women and are used to women throwing themselves at them. They expected her to do the same and treated her the same way they are used to treating most women. Have you forgotten how Chris felt it was ok to tell Mel McLaughlin "don't blush baby" when she was doing her job? You obviously don't work in a corporate environment in 2017 to know what will and will not be tolerated.


Gayle IS lazy. That is a well known secret in international cricket circles. What does that have to do with how she looks? Why would her looks even come into it? And how can she be claiming for fame when it is Gayle that is suing Fairfax? Seems to me you are the sexist here.

In reply to Drapsey

I cannot believe what i am reading! So because she entered the dressing room (which she was rightfully allowed access to enter as a member of the team) that means she must be subjected to harassment and unwanted attention? That's like telling a rape victim she was asking for it because she dressed a certain way. You people must be living in remote caves with zero laws and civilization because these comments are utterly outrageous.

In reply to openning
Exactly. The same Gayle who has mirrored ceilings in his bedroom next to his stripper's pole which he does not even hide on his social media along with his countless videos drinking smoking and liming with various women. They trying to paint him like he Mother Teresa

In reply to Drapsey

ALL members of staff are allowed in the dressing room and that included her. And if she had motive, why the heck would she wait to enter a dressing room to see Chris drop his towel when she had intimate and private access to them all from the beginning of the tour being responsible for their 1 to 1 massage therapy. She would not need to enter the dressing room to have seen him naked, it was the fact that it was unwanted attention that is the issue here. Think about what you are saying.

In reply to Judgement

did Gayle call on Smith as a witness,or it was the lady who did?

In reply to camos

No it was Gayle's legal counsel that did.

In reply to Judgementthe lady is screwed! if it was a jury trial she would stand a better chance.

In reply to camos

It is a jury trial. 3 women and 1 man, as well as a female judge.

[b]In reply to Judgement[/b

they are all judges, you don't have jury in high court.

In reply to openning

Did this change, NBA players in the past had towels wrapped around them, once a female report accuses Larry Johnson of flashing her.

In reply to camos

Proceedings are taking place at the Supreme Court not high court.

Link Text

In reply to Judgement

supreme is the highest court!

In reply to camos

Two different courts friend lol. Under New South Wales law where case is being heard:

As i said, 4 jurors in this case - 3 women and 1 man and a female judge.

In reply to Judgement

ok my friend!
quick question, isn't a jury 12?

In reply to camos

In reply to camos

In most criminal trials yes (and that too depending on jurisdiction). This is a civil trial.

In reply to Judgement

is this case defamation or libel or the same standards apply in both situations?

In reply to camos

Libel is a form of defamation as you may know but under Australian law, from what i know, libel and slander are no longer distinguished. Fairfax are relying on the defences of truth and qualified privilege and truth is an absolute defence in defamation.

In reply to Drapsey

The laws of nature don't include flashing your d*ck at women.

That comes under the law of perversion.

In reply to Verstehen

Now you're taking the low road by referencing my quote outside the context in which it was written.
