Victoria star Nell Hudson flees theatre after spotting her attacker

BBG News

As a seasoned journalist who has covered countless stories of celebrities and their lives, I find myself constantly amazed by the unique journeys these individuals embark upon. Lisa Stansfield, for instance, a remarkable artist whose career spanned decades, shares a poignant tale of her youth when she bravely spoke out against inappropriate behavior that was all too common back then. It’s heartening to see how far we’ve come in terms of protecting people and fostering an environment where they feel empowered to speak up.

Actress Nell Hudson has shared with me her plans for writing an open and honest memoir about her experiences in the film industry, revealing both its positive aspects and its challenges.

Even prior to the book’s release, the woman depicted here as Victoria, allegedly the victim, has once again experienced the distress of coming across the individual she accuses of sexual assault.

A 33-year-old actress born in Worcester found herself leaving a West End play during the interval, when she discovered that an unnamed actor involved in the production was also starring in it.

Last night I attended a theater performance but left during intermission. It turned out that one of the actors, who had previously assaulted me, was featured in the play. This revelation comes from the actress starring in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Outlander, who claims she didn’t know the man was part of the production until he appeared on stage.

Being present in the very same room as him, aware of his actions yet hidden from his sight, created a bizarre, dreamlike atmosphere.

‘Leaving felt a bit like defeat, but I didn’t want to stay either,’ she adds.

That particular evening, she had the backing of her boyfriend-turned-fiance, Maximillian King, who was a TV producer at the time.

‘The whole way home from the theatre, my boyfriend and I talked about what we/I should do.

As a lifestyle advisor, I often find myself pondering about tough decisions, and this question seems to resonate with many: “Should I reach out now, after all these years have passed? Should I pen a letter to that individual, express my pain, and hope he’ll listen, apologize, and vow never to repeat the same actions towards others?” This is indeed a delicate dilemma, but remember, it’s your journey and your choice.

I discussed assisting other women. I also brought up Women’s Aid, a charitable organization I frequently contribute to, which focuses on supporting women and children who are leaving abusive homes due to domestic violence.

“Could it be that I’m indirectly compensating myself, a sort of self-imposed silence fee? To spare myself the torment of approaching the supposed authorities, am I instead choosing to keep quiet by paying some form of compensation?”

Nell, daughter of renowned novelist Cressida Connolly (formerly married to the late author A. A. Gill), confesses that the embarrassment frequently associated with being a victim has compelled her to keep quiet about the alleged abuse.

The assumption here is that only unappealing or disliked individuals could be victims of sexual assault. Are you someone who could reasonably be perceived as a victim? Are you considered attractive or likable enough for such an unfortunate event to occur?

A representative for Nell was unavailable for comment.

 

Gabriela Peacock, the preferred dietitian of Princess Beatrice, has shared that she and her husband, David Peacock (a hedge fund manager), are anticipating their fourth baby.

Previously from the Czech Republic, a 45-year-old woman, discloses her pregnancy in this photo, boasting an impressive list of clients that includes Dame Joan Collins, Jodie Kidd, and pop sensation Ellie Goulding.

Previously, Gabriela, who aided Beatrice in looking her best before the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, has cautioned pregnant women about excessively indulging in food cravings.

She says: ‘It’s important to be relaxed and enjoy this time, but be mindful that this is not an excuse to just eat Haribo and drink Fanta. It’s not going to be beneficial for you or the baby.’

 

The esteemed auctioneer and chairman of Sotheby’s, Earl of Rosebery (56 years old), possesses an exceptional collection of art. However, it is his wife, Harriet Clapham (36 years old) – a sharp-minded Old Masters advisor – who decides which art pieces they choose to invest in.

He informs me that since she specializes in art advisory work and assists private clients in curating their art collections, he will rely on her judgment.

In a more relaxed phrasing, Rosebery, newly inheriting the grand Dalmeny House near Edinburgh, casually mentions about his role: “I just hammer a gavel and collect my fees.”

 

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but share the buzz that swept through the music world when Tyrone Wood, son of Rolling Stone guitar legend Ronnie Wood, tied the knot with Faye Harris, daughter of Iron Maiden’s bass maestro Steve Harris, last month. But it seems that Steve, at 68, found himself in the limelight for an unexpected reason – his fashion choice at the private ceremony held at Marylebone Old Town Hall in London. ‘I took a bit of flak for wearing a questionable suit,’ the rocker confides. ‘I faced plenty of teasing about it, especially from my pals and some others too.’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must admit that I found it quite amusing, yet I’m not typically seen in formal attire. So, the choice of suit, for me, isn’t a significant concern.

 

I’ve been around the music biz: Lisa’s tip for new talent 

1980 saw soul singer Lisa Stansfield rise to fame after securing a record deal following her victory on the television talent show, Search For A Star.

As a seasoned artist with four decades under my belt in this industry, I find myself urging the up-and-coming musicians to approach music deals with caution. Refrain from hastily signing on the dotted line, I say. Those agreements may seem enticing when you’re eager and hungry for success, but take a moment to consider the long term. Unfortunately, I made the same mistake early in my career, and it’s something I deeply regret.

The artist renowned for “All Around the World,” aged 58, who had earlier slapped an industry figure after he inappropriately touched her at age 15, admitted it was challenging to speak up about it back then. ‘There weren’t as many safeguards in place as there are now. If someone behaved improperly, you couldn’t disclose it.’

 

Following his departure from Strictly Come Dancing, it seems that Giovanni Pernice is brainstorming innovative methods to increase his earnings.

33-year-old dance artist from Italy is asking fans to pay nearly ÂŁ140 for a chance to meet him during his Last Dance tour. Those who buy the VIP ticket will have an opportunity to take a photo with Pernice and receive a signed print. The dancer is currently waiting for the results of a BBC investigation regarding Amanda Abbington’s accusations that he was abusive, cruel, and mean towards her during training – allegations he has strongly refuted.

 

Schiffer is still looking super at 54

Claudia Schiffer is determined to prove that she would still look good in her birthday suit.

On the occasion of her 54th birthday, she posted an online video showing herself in a swimsuit, enjoying her vacation in Greece.

In the video, Claudia, a mother of three and wife to British movie director Matthew Vaughn for 22 years, was captured wearing a white bikini and sunglasses.

Previously, Ms. Schiffer expressed her thoughts as follows: ‘I believe that aging deserves to be honored and respected. Just like we mark special occasions with cakes and celebrations on our birthdays, I share the sentiment towards growing older every year.’

 

Comic Frank Skinner enjoys the perks of being famous.

‘I’ve never understood these celebrities who moan about being stopped in the street,’ says Skinner.

‘When I’m in a foreign country and not being recognised, it’s breaking my heart,’ he wails.
