It's interesting the difference in sentiment/tone people have here compared to when salacious or inappropriate behaviour occurs in the workplace between men and women. Simon Lethlean anyone? It's much like when a young male is sexually abused by a teacher, compared to if a young female is; the two get reported completely different and public sentiment is rarely aligned.

For one, Darren Glass is married so there is that. Secondly, Glass is obviously in a 'position of power' in this instance and is the 'older man' which oft gets reported when these stories hit the news.

Replace Hurn with a young, female staff member in this rumour and I doubt you get many of the opinions or attitudes shown in this thread.


one was also fact and the other is a halfwit rumour

you didn't mention that obvious difference

At least that is the narrative. As if Hurn couldnt or wouldnt stand up for himself, aka its crap.
Obviously take the rumour with a grain of salt, but to dismiss the notion of a position of power because you think he could or would stand up for himself is kind of the point of why a position of power is something that can be really conflicting for the person that isn't in the power position.

Because it's not the same

And Hurn isn't a 20 year old intern. I think he can handle himself.

Noticeable lack of "Shannon Hurn girlfriend" of "Shannon Hurn wife" in those search results
In the expanded list too.

Each to their own, nothing has really changed because of this.

Admittedly, the lyrics doin' the Eagle rock will take on a new dimension though.

friend of a friend who works at the club often says they try to set Hurn up with a girl etc. but never clicks, doesn't mean he's gay but also doesn't matter, moral of the story was friend of friend thought he was the nicest bloke at the club.
