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.]

It does sound really bad.

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

Mel is now the Editor/backer

On that Site there is NO "About"

[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.]

If the guy is guilty then she should say because.

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