Quote: chipolata @ July 14 2009, 3:33 PM BSTWhat exactly did Hardeep Singh Kohli do to the female researcher to get himself suspended from The One Show? And, since Carol Thatcher got sacked for using the term gollywog, are we to assume the BBC takes sexual harrassment less seriously than racism?
It's all a bit of a mystery. He's not been suspended from appearing on any other BBC shows, so I'd infer that perhaps he was just a little bit too forward with a researcher, rather than any deliberate sexual harrassment? If it was just a case of him simply being attracted to her and her not reciprocating, then it may have led to simply an awkward work situation. Silly of me to speculate without knowing the facts, I know. I would have thought if he had done anything that had really over-stepped the mark, then he wouldn't have just had a temporary suspension, and not just from 'The One Show'? (He's accepted what he did was wrong. Blokes get confused between a woman's natural friendliness and them flirting all the time in "real life". Not condoning sexual harrassment, but there's not always deliberate inappropriateness in these cases.)
