BBC presenter accused of paying teen for explicit photos is ‘extremely angry (View)
In a recent development, a former colleague reveals that the BBC personality involved in a scandalous photo affair is filled with deep anger as yet another minor has come forward with allegations against the presenter.
A young individual has accused the anonymous presenter of sending them abusive messages on a dating app. The accusations also include claims of the presenter offering £35,000 to obtain sexually explicit photos from a minor. These serious allegations have resulted in legal charges against the presenter. While it remains uncertain if the broadcaster was aware of the accuser’s age at the time, the individual claims to have received “creepy” messages on Instagram with kisses and love hearts when they were 17 years old.
According to former BBC broadcaster Jon Sopel, the anonymous star is expressing great dissatisfaction with the way the claims have been reported. Mr. Sopel revealed that the presenter is convinced that certain media outlets, particularly The Sun, are actively seeking to unearth additional damaging information and tarnish their reputation. Many individuals have reached out to express their righteous anger towards The Sun’s coverage, further fueling the presenter’s frustration.
Internally, the atmosphere at New Broadcasting House, the BBC’s headquarters, is described as becoming more tense and uneasy. The sudden spotlight on the BBC has caught many by surprise, leaving lingering questions unanswered, despite Director General Tim Davie’s recent remarks attempting to address the situation.
Just days ago, The Sun tabloid published allegations that the actor had reportedly paid a teenager a significant sum for explicit photos, beginning when the individual was 17 years old. The emergence of new accusations raises further concerns about the actor’s behavior and actions.
The accused party vehemently denies any misconduct and dismisses the allegations as baseless. In response to the ongoing controversy, Tim Davie, the director general of the BBC, has stated that it is unusual that he has not yet personally spoken to the celebrity involved.
According to the BBC, the interaction between the presenter and the individual in their 20s began on a dating app and later expanded to other platforms. The presenter allegedly disclosed their identity and requested that the young person keep their interaction a secret.
