[@BillyBronco73]

Benny Hill had a loyal group of women and men who worked with him for years. To the best of my knowledge not one had a bad word to say about Benny.

[@labellaescrima1996]

Actually one or two of them had something to say against him but it doesn't matter anymore, the man is dead and can't defend himself.

[@kooringagnd]

Funny how these claims come out after the accused are dead or the "victim" has a tour, movie, book, cd, DVD etc coming out.

[@BillyBronco73]

@@labellaescrima1996 Other than Hazel O'Connor I have never seen anyone that worked for a long time with Benny make these sort of accusations against him. I have looked and can't find anything online. Quite the opposite in fact the women and men who worked with him over many years said what a gentleman he was

Benny Hill, no way! I don’t even think Benny from Crossroads would have had a go at this one..

[@dbgaming9166]

Inappropriate, yes. Sexual assault? The title is a bit rich isn't it? The man's been dead 28 years, 25 years at the time of this recording. Sure, it's fine to look backwards with a 21st century view, but that interview itself isn't half as bad as the click baiting title.

[@mairimillar8866]

What does it matter what era it happens in? Abuse is abuse. No-one has a right to take advantage. If it happened to you, would be a different matter. Yes, they got away with more years ago, still makes it wrong.

[@P-I-UK]

Benny was an inward shy man and he died that way in his home No scandals...nothing. a humble man with a little tv and chair. Anything else was entertainment. I don't believe a word of this.

[@georgeperry5780]

im surprised at you alex, you have no evidence of anything happening apart from her words [which i hardly think counts for sexual assault click bait i dont think you need that your better than that].Benny hill was all about inuendo that was his humour and why he was funny .it always ended in him being chased off

[@dontlooknow.]

Coincidentally revealing this 'event' at the same time as promoting a tour Hazel.... Benny Hill was gay, it was concealed by all around him, due to the effect it was feared it could have on his career. Therefore, he did not come on to you in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, 'Hill's Angels' were all stunning girls, you would never have been considered even for audition.

[@kooringagnd]

No he wasn't.

[@mairimillar6606]

He was not gay. He had a weird sexual history. How ridiculous you think she revealed this in order to promote a tour.

[@erichaynes7502]

He was straight.

It's easy to accuse someone of wrongdoing (when you were denied a job) when their dead and unable to defend themselves.

[@labellaescrima1996]

actually she was denied the job because she did not want to play his game...about giving him sexual favours.

[@kooringagnd]

So she says.

[@mairimillar6606]

It's her truth. How ridiculous just because someone is dead it shouldn't be called out. Of course it should.

[@mairimillar8866]

@@badlieutenant5305 Perhaps so. Would have been interesting to know how he would've responded to such accusations. They rarely cop to it.

[@sidjames9515]

Something about this just doesn't feel right. Benny just didn't act like that around women, he was shy and very insecure, he was surrounded by dozens of beautiful girls who adored him and all have said he was nothing but caring and respectful. Sorry, I just don't believe her.

Benny was a bloke and may of tried it on. What if he was young rich and handsome. I don't say this to disrespect Hazel, But its just awkward moments i call life. Perspective i guess. Hazel didn't like it and left. End of.

[@thebee8415]

Truth is we can’t say if this happened or not, he’s been laid to rest and can’t answer for himself. End of ! She could say he had polkadot skin now if she wants, the man can’t deny it so her accusing him now is so futile and makes her sound like a sh** stir. I still love him every time I hear his name it makes me smile. There’s not many I can say that about. Wouldn’t I love it, if when I’m gone, people would instantly smile when they think of me what a legacy to leave that says something about him. RIP Benny.

[@dcaseng]

I don't know if she's lying or not, but there is no point in making these claims so long after it supposedly happened. He's not alive to defend himself, so the only thing this does is give her attention. If you are REALLY a victim, you need to speak up when it happens, not years later when Nobody can corroborate your story, and especially when the supposed perpetrator is dead and can't answer your allegations.

[@Blitzkrieg85xy]

Waits forty years to make such a claim 😏

[@mairimillar8866]

How do you know that? You were there? It takes a lot to speak out about an abuser. Disturbing you assume "liar". If you were abused, you'd accept it? Just because he was a favourite comedian of yours? Ridiculous.

[@hellsing507]

@@mairimillar8866 she’s lying for clout, the man has been dead for 28 years. Why come out and say “oh he abused me” and also let’s look at the fact that everyone who worked with Benny only ever had good things to say about him and that his whole act was playing the over sexed idiot who never really gets to fulfill his fantasies.

[@hugoweaving6275]

Benny worked with dozens of young women, many talk of his very shy boy like nature. He was very uncomfortble with strangers. He would not of had the guts to try something like what she is suggesting. At most he might of tested the water's and flirted. But hands on doesn't sound like like him. He was not the type to use his power to get what he wanted. Nobody talked of him being a dominering of bully type of person. He probably turned down loads of actresses, she's the only one making accusations. Why is there a promo poster of her tour at the end?

[@celticmist14]

Hugo Wearing, Did you know Benny because I as a child thought was hilarious. I think somebody who was raped at knife point would be more traumatised by tat experience tan by a man making a mass at her. Unlike .her rapist Benny Hill took NO for an answer

[@celticmist14]

A pass that is

[@jonkillings2747]

He said himself his girls would have a prerequisite to dance on his show. This was not assault. Just a bloke trying his luck. Sounds like he was 'too old' for her . So if he'd been younger she'd be in it?

[@lajoskovacs7376]

disgusting to me to come up with stories after the death of someone, as the person can not comment of defend her/him any longer. Human is really brutal sometimes, now we have the time we want to cancel nearly all our past.

[@mairimillar6606]

It's disgusting to try and silence someone speaking out. If he is dead, so what? Doesn't make it null and void. Sexual predators should be exposed, dead or not.

[@mairimillar8866]

@Evil Einstein A ridiculous observation, that because someone is dead it absolves them. You knew him? You were there? I'm not jumping down throats at all, I have an opinion just like you do. Saying "everyone who knew him" is utterly generalizing rubbish o your part. You didn't know the man, probably only a fan of his comedy. "Horseshit"? Try using a better command of the English language as well as my hoding behind a silly "Evil Einstein" internet (troll) name. It's plain cowardly.

[@mairimillar8866]

@Evil Einstein How exactly do you "know" the woman wasn't assaulted? Seems to bring out your aggressions here that a woman defends another woman. Who knows whether you are make or female. Too cowardly to go under your own name for any particular reason?

[@stevenedwardmaylott6078]

I’m kind of torn by it , I agree from what I have heard BH wasn’t like that , but I agree there’s no reason for HO to lie, it’s not like her career suffered from not being on the BH show, chances are she wouldn’t have been available for Broken Glass and may not have had the career she had. It dose seem strange to hold Annan Audition in his flat , so if it is true maybe it wasn’t it wasn’t Legit in the first place and that kind off activity was get separate from his Professional life. Which would explain why the people who actually worked with him had nothing but good things to say about him. I’m not saying this is the case at all. But might explain it.

I believe her, Benny Hill made a living out of it and probably thought it was okay to do it to random people because the production crew he was with and cast normalised it for him and made it acceptable.

No he didn't. Off camera he was very respectable of the women he worked with. It's easy for a woman to say she was a victim of sexual assault/rape, but it does not always make it true.
