Default ‘Thrown under the bus’: Melanie Sykes says she quit TV

Top Left hand corner
of today's Guardian
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cp...7d-nc.png.webp

[Sykes also recounts being deceived as an
18-year-old by a much older photographer
into staying overnight with him on a
shoot in Africa.
She claims in the book that the man
pressed himself against her in bed,
but she had a stomach upset so he eventually
left her alone and she “buried the experience
until recently”.]


[Handwritten by Sykes, Illuminated:
Autism & All The Things I’ve Left Unsaid
describes incidents including how collecting
a Royal Television Society award was
“tainted” as she “kept being touched up
by a TV personality, who would not leave me
alone. He was grabbing my breasts and being
a complete pest. I felt sick.”




Mel Give us the Name of that TV fella


WAY Back in 1998




[The book charts Sykes’s experiences
of sexism, abusive relationships and racism,
while providing an insight into
the often toxic culture that she
claims pervaded the fashion
and showbusiness industries
during her career.]
