“Full Of CONTRADICTIONS” Says Former Head Of Ethics BBC Executive On Jermaine Jenas Interview

You know for a fact that had the text exchange been more from the side of the female instigation The matter wouldn’t have even been registered . Just like the Spanish manager kissing the female football player it was treated far differently to say Tom Cruise being forcibly kissed at the Olympic closing ceremony. Maybe if Jenas had followed through and not just flirted over text the women may not have taken the issue to management, hell hath no fury etc. as far as I can see, if either of the women asked him to stop and he didn’t then he deserves everything coming to him, if however he either stopped texting when asked to OR thought better of it and stopped after feeling guilty it’s a non issue IF you are genuinely an adult .

@@CarlitoGio You really don't think some women would harang you about why you took the number in the first place? People aren't honest and open about everything in a relationship and humans have always done things they later regret. If everybody did something dishonest and owned up about it rather than thinking it would go away there'd probably be far more broken marriages, relationships, divorces, children split between parents etc etc. Morally, nobody should work for the BBC.
