You can’t just go to the police and ask them to investigate industry hearsay.

Sorry I don’t get it 😞. It’s apparently so much of a “truth” that it was well known in the industry so much so that she’s calling him out on this roast programme but not enough of a “truth” that she feels she can go to the authorities or show promoters or the BBC or Channel 4 or any other outlet they share?
That says something really fucked up about how we protect the vulnerable in our society which allows this type of predatory behaviour to continue.

Totally, the people at fault here are the management company and production companies that sought to protect their high-value star over protecting female staff. In the dispatches they mention that one company thought it would be better to just not have women work with him, rather than not hire him at all.
But the police can’t move on anything without a direct accuser or proof so what else could be done?
