Pearl Modiadie accuses former manager of harassment
Briefly News reported that Pearl Modiadie left Mzansi in complete shock when she revealed that she was a victim of sexual harassment at her former job on Metro FM.
“I kept quiet for too long until media picked it up and never have I been grateful for that because it finally gave me the courage to speak out about the sexual harassment I was was subjected to at Metro FM.”
Modiadie, whose five-year contract was not renewed, had complained to the then station manager about inappropriate comments that her manager was making about her.
In email exchanges seen by the publication, Pearl’s male manager made sexual innuendos about the media personality. Responding to the inappropriate language, Modiadie said:
“I don’t find the response funny at all. This is highly inappropriate. I’m asking about a job that I’ve been booked for by the station and you are taking it in a completely different direction. This is not the first time you’ve made such comments where I’m concerned and I will not take it any more.”
The manager reportedly apologised but continued to harass Modiadie. Speaking to the publication, she listed several other similar incidents where he made inappropriate comments about her body.
According to Modiadie, the last sexual remark he made was in an e-mail that other staff members were copied in. She responded that it made her feel uncomfortable and that she was tired of the sexual harassment.
