[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.]

It does sound really bad.

I wonder who the pest was?

I've always liked Mel

Still on TV screens
she could destroy him.

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

She is not the sharpest tool in the box

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.

and Real Old Des O'Connor

Unless it's someone who's dead now

No
he is alive and still working



The Dirty Bugger

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

To sell her Book.


I ain't buying her book.
So far the TV Presenter Fella Touching her Ass and Tits
is not getting named

Mel is now the Editor/backer
of Frank Magazine

https://www.thefrankmagazine.com/

On that Site there is NO "About"
what are they.

It is hidden under the editor

[Welcome to FRANK magazine.

The magazine for open-minded women
of all ages across the world.

Frank covers health, healing, the environment,
business, travel, supporting others and being
our best possible selves – all in an honest,
open and heartfelt way.

It’s been a three-year labour
of love for me and one that will
continue to evolve as I learn more about
myself and our ever-changing world.

I am on a vast new journey in my life,
not least with the revelation that
I am Autistic and ADHD.
Unearthing my true self, shedding all
masks and re-emerging from my
suppression is miraculous, painful, and a great
relief. Moreover, this revelation has
directly triggered the release of my
creativity, which I will pour into Frank
and all the areas of my life.]

Absolute slew of mumbo jumbo horroscope pish

Has she actually named who it is ??. Or do people have to buy her book to find out?.

Not Yet.

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

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.
