[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.”

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.]

Let's face it - 90's telly... it could be any one of dozens.

[Crimson Dynamo]

She is not the sharpest tool in the box

[UserSince2005]

remember when she used to have a day time talk show with some old man. they were like a knock off catherine zeta jones and michael douglas.

if she is going to say that, she has to name the person. All she has done is forced everyone to speculate and that is likely to target someone completely innocent

seems like a desperate attempt to get some publicity

happy with her life when she was ascending the greasy pole but now she has slipped to the bottom.... woe is me

[Mystic Mock]

Still on TV screens

If the guy is guilty then she should say because.

1. I'm curious
2. He has probably harassed other women in the industry

I doubt it's the guy from Dale's Supermarket Sweep tbf.:joker:

But I get what you mean.
