Is NRL gossip person Rebecca Wilson a repeat drink driver herself?

[Brutus]

I would just like to get this clarified.

Are there any links to confirm this.

 

[Willow]

I'm sure El has the published facts.

 

[Brutus]

I'd love to read them...El?

Yes she most certainly is. An excerpt from here http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/12/27/1072308726945.html?from=storyrhs

As part of the attack on the Roosters and Nick Politis, gossip columnist Rebecca Wilson described Politis as a gibberer. Let's just examine this statement. Here is a woman who has bounced around from job to job over the years. She currently makes her living as a talking head and muckraker with a News Ltd paper. She was recently exposed as a repeat offender on driving charges, including drink driving and driving without a licence. Yet in her typical attention-seeking manner she has accused Politis, a self-made multi-millionaire and one of the most respected business people in Australia, of being a gibberer and questions his credibility.

she is no different to Naiqama

Interesting that one of her offences was infact driving without a licence, in addition to drink driving.

Glass houses, etc, Beccy.

Rebecca, you stick to bagging me if you want to get your cheap kicks. Nick Politis is way out of your league.

So from that link posted by JW we have in big bold letters.

Maybe Rebecca Wilson should give Wes some pointers.

lol. beat me to it.

 

[ozbash]

where does it say repeat drink driving ?

i read it as shes had a few driving charges including drink driving.

hope she aint watching.

 

[Brutus]

There is no evidence yet of repeat drink driving. You are right there ozbash.

She is a confirmed drink driver and driver without a license, but not a repeat drink driver.

So the answer to my original question would be no, however...

 

[El Diablo]

im pretty sure i read she was done twice. could've been mistaken as i cant find the article now.

Well I suspect she is. And I'd love to hear from you Rebecca. ;-)

She once reserved some of her media angst for internet forums. I recall that was after Choppies sent her an email with a made-up story, which she published without checking her facts. Unfortunately for Rebecca, she was the one caught out.

You're right in pointing it out but the question was asked and answered. According to Gus's column, Rebecca is a repeat offender behind the wheel. Best to keep it in that context.

 

[Brutus]

Remember Rebecca's lame excuse when she was caught out by Choppies?

She blamed it on an angry Bulldogs supporter when the fact was she published a completely fabricated story given to her by an anonymous emailer. The emailer turned out to be a Roosters fan anyway.:lol:

The lowest of low journalism that anyone of us could do. How easy would it be to get paid for writing crap people send you 3rd hand - much of it untrue.

 

[Brutus]

Seems like Bec and Buzz have no idea about factual crowd figures as well.

I vaguely remember that incident but can't recall the details. What a great story, gotta link?

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Didn't she recently run a story about a test cricketer refusing to help to tidy up after a recent club game? Made out he was too big headed for such menial tasks. Michael Clarke was the player referred to. She later apologized.

 

[El Diablo]

She had to issue an apology to Malcolm Noad once too.

Disgusting.

Flem has more appeal and credability than Wilson.

She is a grub of the journo industry.

:nwave: Hi Beccy.
