The Russell Simmons documentary that was released this summer has reignited a plan at a renowned UK TV documentary strand to do a similar #MeToo exposé of the UK music industry.
A fair few industry stalwarts are rightly nervous, but surely none more than the senior executive whose label has been protecting him so much they’ve been pretending to the media that their lawyers had gagged Popbitch for some stories over the last year. (They hadn’t; we never heard a peep.)
There’s tales circulating of affairs, female execs being bullied out of the industry, ex-conquests being paid off, relationships with artists and old-skool shagging in the toilets at office parties.
It would make for an interesting investigation. Wonder if that army of ghost lawyers will be summoned again? |
