Read our privacy policy Channel 4 have been criticised for developing a documentary on actor and director Noel Clarke who has been accused by 20 women of sexual harassment, groping and taking explicit videos without consent. The online reaction to news of the documentary has been vehement, with many blasting Channel 4 for considering making the film or giving Clarke a voice. One user tweeted: “He doesn’t deserve any airtime at all,” while another posted “The fact that vile monsters such as Noel Clarke still have a platform is and I can’t stress this enough, INSANE!” Last April, The Guardian published an extensive report into allegations against Clarke including claims that he sexually harassed multiple women, acted inappropriately, groped women without consent, shared explicit media without consent and also workplace bullying.
