I heard something on the radio, I think it was on Monday.
A lady phoned in a phone-in and said she was a paid chaperone for child actors working in the film industry. One day a child let slip to her (9 years old) that some director was doing inappropriate things, so she felt honour bound to flag this up, however there was a problem. The child in question was not the one she was being paid to look after!
She reported it. The next day she lost her job!
Show-biz is just full of awful people. And in many ways it's set up that way.
Years ago I played in a band. Along the way, on a few occasions - we rubbed shoulders with 2 Radio One DJ's. I won't name them here but one was local to this area and now in prison, the other is still about, but was pretty close to jail time too. He in particular (the second one) was self centred and arrogant, he even attempted to get my then girlfriend back to his hotel room, I overheard this going on - she told him "Do One".
I remember encountering one popular and very affable Radio DJ during my shift and can honestly say have yet to meet a more arrogant, ignorant shithouse who was nothing like his on air persona…he took ‘do you know who I am’ entitlement to a new level, till one of the lads asked him if he was lost and needed help and harumphed off on Chunter mode.
