Katherine Ryan has previously revealed she confronted a colleague on a popular TV programme as she thinks he is a sexual predator.
Speaking on her Amazon Prime series titled Backstage With Katherine Ryan, the comic revealed she called out the worker in front of other staff members from the show. She was speaking to fellow comedian Sara Pascoe on the show and agreed that she too is aware of the man’s identity.
Katherine, who has appeared on a number of hit shows such of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Mock The Week and Have I Got News For You, admitted she wasn’t sure what she should have done originally. She said: “I’ve thought about that, but it’s such a messy thing because I don’t have proof â what, am I not supposed to feed my children because of someone else?’
Sara responded: “Also in that instance that you’re referencing it was about raising it,” to which Katherine replied: “I raised it. I called him a predator to his face and in front of everyone every day.’ The shocking discussion continued and Sara revealed she had once reported a male celebrity to a TV channel after a viewer had told her that they had been raped by the man.
She said: “Have you ever done a job and then someone’s contacted you and said: ‘That’s my rapist’? I had it on a job recently where I’ve had to go to the channel, and it’s that whole thing because you feel such a sense of responsibility but you also want it to be dealt with well… it’s so complicated.”
