DJ Tim Westwood Is the Subject of Six Alleged Bullying and Sexual Misconduct Complaints, BBC Confirms
Months after BBC director general Tim Davie said there was “no evidence of complaints,” the BBC has said it has received six complaints against DJ Tim Westwood.
The 64-year-old Westwood presented shows on BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra between 1994 and 2013. In April, a joint investigation conducted by the BBC and the Guardian brought to light the accounts of seven Black women who alleged sexual touching and sexual misconduct by Westwood between 1992 and 2017. They were featured in the BBC Three documentary, “Tim Westwood: Abuse of Power.”
Westwood denies all charges. He has stepped down from his show on radio station Capital Xtra until further notice, parent company Global said.
At the time, Davie, who was director of audio and music at the BBC from 2008-2012, had said “we looked at our records and we’ve seen no evidence of complaints” against Westwood.
Davie also said: “Every complaint has to be taken seriously.
