Because of the news about him and Emma Smith today, this matter has become an intensely discussed hot topic. Many journalists are already trying to find out more details about this scandal. According to the report that Christopher Wilson gave him, there are at least a hundred requests for interviews.
It's not that these interviews cannot be done, but rather they cannot be done right now. The interviews' questions, or the official response, can only be addressed after he's secured the majority of the Thomson Family's approval regarding his marriage to Emma Smith.
Otherwise, this wouldn't be about the pressure from public opinion, but rather about shaming the Thomson Family!
