Her allegation goes back to a time when she was a young-ish freelancer. She risked being unemployed. She would have then seen the issue swept under the carpet.
Wallace or not many women were subjected to unpleasant behaviour in the past without much hope of their stories being believed. Even if they were it was often seen as “banter”.
Miss Aston is a freelancer and even now a small number of dinosaurs exist. A couple of years ago a famous interviewee made unwarranted (non sexual but inappropriate) comments about her appearance during a pre-interview chat. Afterwards his PA apologised. Would my daughter have raised it as a formal complaint? No way, she wants to work.
