Read our privacy policy Emily Atack is being praised by critics for her “provocative” new BBC documentary tackling sexual harassment. In Emily Atack: Asking For It?,the former Inbetweeners star discusses her own experiences of sexual harassment and sets out to learn how something “so grotesque, aggressive, malicious and violent” has evolved. “Emily Atack, normally seen as a cheerful TV personality and comedian, did a very brave job here in overcoming deep embarrassment about her daily reality,” read The Times’ review. “Thank you Emily Atack for raising awareness.” “We take SO many precautions; safe routes home, private social media, the ‘right’ clothes, don’t be too nice or too standoffish - but sexual harassment happens anyway because WE AREN’T THE PROBLEM,” one fan tweeted.
