Joel Dommett’s penis has something to say about *that* sex tape leak

By Will Stroude

Comedian and I’m A Celebrity star Joel Dommett was one of the many male celebs, including Ben Cohen, Sam Callahan and Shayne Ward, who have found themselves victim of a sex-tape leak in recent months.

During his time in the jungle, the 30-year-old revealed how the X-rated video started doing the rounds on the internet just before his appearance on the show, explaining that someone had lured him into stripping off online using a false identity.

“Basically someone messaged me online and after a while she said did you want Skype sex, so I was like ‘yes’,” he explained to the group. “I was so naive.”

He continued: “I messaged a few weeks later and she didn’t reply and then a few years later the video was released online, it was released about a week before I came in here.”

Now Joel, who recently learned how to paint with his penis on Channel 4’s World of Weird, has warned of the dangers of catfishing in a candid message on his Facebook page.

Suggesting that “it’s better to laugh about it than cry about it,” Joel’s message was written from the perspective of his penis. Well, it’s always good to hear it straight from the horses mouth, right?

Describing his decision to strip off on webcam “a stupid error”, on his part, Joel – sorry, Joel’s penis – writes the that the stranger’s decision to publish the video online was a “genuinely horrific thing for another human being to do”.

The penis adds that sharing explicit photographs of another person online without their consent represents a “new type of crime” that is “not just happening to people of below average levels of fame like Joe”, before advising anyone else who’s been affected to get in touch with the Samaritans.

Read the full message from Joel’s penis below:

Statement From Joel Dommett’s Penis.

“The following is a statement written by Joel’s Penis before it went, with Joel, into the Jungle. His Penis wrote this as damage limitation just in case pictures of it arose in the tabloids and on the internet while Joel was in there and Penis was unable to defend itself.

Recently, after being a relative recluse for Joel’s entire life (with the exception of the odd drunken public appearance), after a stupid error on Joel’s part there are now pictures of me, ’Joel’s part’ on the internet. I was quite happy being a completely unknown penis and this new found fame is frankly horrific for me and Joel, although we have both realised that it’s better to laugh about it than cry about it (Only Joel can Laugh but we can both cry…).
Joel was Catfished a long time ago by somebody pretending to be someone else on the internet and was lured into Skype sex. That Skype sex session turned out to be entirely fake and has come back to bite Joel in the ass (Joel’s Ass is a good friend of mine and also features in the video). It’s a genuinely horrific thing for another human being to do, to take advantage of what is private of someones life and make it public for everyone to see. He obviously chose to go into I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here and people may argue that you are forfeiting a life of privacy with that choice, which he agrees with to a degree but there is a line. A cruelly obtained video of Joel ‘jerking off’ (you may prefer other terms such as ‘jerking the chain’, ‘strangling the monkey’, ‘washing the carrot’, ‘humiliating the unicorn’ or worst of all ‘masterbating’) in a beanie (seriously who wears a beanie when they ‘polish the bath taps’?! I’m supposed to be the only one who wears a hat during sex. He is a hideous human being and I’m embarrassed to be attached to him.) which he thought was private is crossing that line.
This is a new type of crime and it’s not just happening to people of below average levels of fame like Joel. Below is a link to an interesting article from the BBC about the problem and the number for the Samaritans which is a good place to start to sort it out if it has happened to you.

Thanks for listening.

Sincerely Joel’s Penis.
