Pearl Modiadie Reportedly Taking Legal Action Against Former Radio Station After Alleged Sexual Harassment Claims

Pearl Modiadie Reportedly Taking Legal Action Against Former Radio Station After Alleged Sexual Harassment Claims. Former Metro FM radio host Pearl Modiadie is fighting back against the radio station after they failed to act on the sexual harassment claims that she made against her former manager.

Sunday World reported that the mother of one had been facing sexual harassment at the hands of her manager over a number of occasions. Modiadie detailed to the publication the inappropriate remarks that her superior would make about her body in front of her now former colleagues and guests on the show.

“The last sexual remark he made was in an e-mail that other staff members were copied on. I responded that it made me feel uncomfortable and that I was tired of the sexual harassment I was subjected to. This e-mail was sent during my radio show and only one of the guys copied stood up for me.

“He then apologised on e-mail and came down to the studio to apologise in person. I was visibly upset and in tears! Even the celebrity guest who was present for his studio interview saw all of this. I felt violated and couldn’t even show up for work the next day” she said.

The mother of one shared that she copied the then station manager in the e-mail but there was never a response from her. SABC’s management responded that the matter was not brought to their attention and Pearl is taking action. It has been confirmed that the Zaziwa host is lawyering up against the SABC station for not taking action against the complaints she made.

“We can confirm that legal action for damages was initiated through a letter of demand which was sent to the SABC on June 18 2021” Pearl‘s lawyer said.
