The stories come around with horrible frequency. The TV presenter of a certain age who prances around naked with nothing but a sock on his cock or who grabs the head of a kneeling production assistant who is cleaning his trousers, and thrusts his groin towards her face. The sports presenter who is sacked for inappropriate behaviour. The radio DJ who is accused of sexual assault.
And yes, we understand, it’s all about power imbalances. The “talent” is venerated, the power goes to the man’s head, it makes him feel invincible, he believes he has impunity. He knows his employers can’t afford to lose him.
