Alex Mahon says broadcasters were happy to show footage of Brand making misogynistic jokes about sex ‘not that long ago’
Channel 4’s boss has said the allegations against Russell Brand show how “terrible behaviour” against women has been tolerated in the television industry.
Alex Mahon, the broadcaster’s chief executive, said one of the most shocking elements of the documentary was seeing “what appeared on air not that long ago”, when broadcasters were happy to show footage of Brand making misogynistic jokes about sex.
