Speaking on The Comedian's Comedian Podcast alongside Stuart Goldsmith in July, Lucy claimed predatory men had "held her back" in her career. She added: "I've had quite a few incidences where if you're in any other workforce you would go to HR [Human Resources], but there isn't one. "I think it's just everywhere and it's not talked about enough. It upsets me when I hear about young female comics having the same experiences. I thought for a while it was the same five or six people - and now it's not - I could name you 10 or 15 because of course people talk." Lucy, 40, who is married to fellow comedian Jon Richardson, claimed comedians were gossips and "everybody knows". She added: "If you don't know the ones I know yet then you will do soon. It [comedy] attracts such interesting, passionate, raw, edgy, wounded people - but it also attracts predatory men who are really messed up and sexually have been repressed for years. And they get a bit of fame and display these behaviours." She claimed "it just gets covered up", adding: "Their agents know and the channels know and nobody seems to be doing anything about it." It comes after comedian Sara Pascoe claimed there are two well-known predators in the British comedy industry. She told the Independent: "We kept thinking that's the problem – if we had a good enough union, there'd be a place where you could go and say 'there's this){kind=link}
