Episode Details

Jeffrey Donaldson’s past just got a whole lot more explosive — new reports reveal he entered a gay sauna in London in 2006 while publicly condemning homosexuality, an act witnessed by senior police officers. This scandal compounds his recent conviction on 18 counts of child sex abuse, including rape, with sentencing looming in September. The BBC investigation called the behavior hypocritical and potentially compromising. Compounding the shock, former DUP MP Ian Paisley reportedly contacted a woman who claimed Donaldson exploited her during the 2021 leadership race, describing her as a “victim” in a text — though she declined to file a formal complaint. The DUP’s long-standing anti-LGBTQ+ stance makes this double standard even more jarring and deeply unsettling for many.
