You're reading it here first.
The upcoming The Joey Rasdien Show has been rocked by scandal with charges of sexual assault behind the scenes of the new family sitcom that's supposed to make its debut on SABC2 in May.
I can tell you exclusively that SABC2 is set to issue a press release tomorrow, Monday, on allegations of sexual assault that allegedly occured behind the scenes. A production member who used to work on The Joey Rasdien Show and has since quit, claims that she was sexually assaulted by another member of the show. I've been told that SABC2 is seeing this shocking allegation in a very serious light, and immediately started to investigate what is going on at the The Joey Rasdien Show which will be loosely based on the big-haired comedian's own family life.
I phoned the representation of the production member against whom the sexual allegations are levelled, and was immediately referred to his legal representation. Attorney Mark Dempster of Dempster Mckinnon Incorporated who represents the man in questions, told me yesterday that the woman ''had had ample opportunity to approach any relevant forum but instead had chosen the media. This in itself smacks of opportunism to attempt to ruin a person's reputation which is impeccable.''
