Yahoo News Judy Finnigan reveals 'household name' sexually harassed her: 'He flashed his bits at me'
Judy Finnigan has revealed a ‘household name’ sexually harassed her when she was just 22-years-old.
The former TV presenter said an ‘influential’ TV boss exposed his genitalia to her and then called her ‘frigid’ when she spurned his advances.
Judy made her claims while weighing in on the shocking allegations regarding Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, and says similar behaviour could be rife in the UK entertainment industry too.
‘Virtually every woman involved in the wider media has had experience of these beasts,’ she told the Daily Star Sunday.
‘It has happened to me. An influential TV boss who was a household name once emerged from “making coffee” in the kitchen of his flat, (which I’d stupidly agreed to visit at the end of a large dinner party – well, I was only 22) with his dangly bits released from his open fly.
‘Charming it was. When I told him to get lost and I was going straight home he replied angrily that I was obviously frigid,’ she added.

Judy added that the unnamed man wasn’t her direct boss but was ‘an influential person’.
Over 35 women have now accused Weinstein of either sexual harassment, assault or rape. The Hollywood producer has apologised for elements of his past behaviour but strongly denies any claims of non-consensual sex.
Talking about Weinstein’s fall from grace since the avalance of accusations began, Judy said it was ‘good’ that the 65-year-old has lost his job, wife and ‘reputation’.
