BBC Breakfast Editor Richard Frediani Reportedly Cleared of Bullying Allegations

The decision follows a PwC‑supported culture review of the programme’s newsroom.

Overview

  • Deadline reports that one strand of the review has concluded with Frediani cleared, and he has told colleagues he does not expect further action.
  • The BBC said it does not comment on individual HR matters but stressed it takes workplace conduct complaints seriously.
  • Work examining presenter Naga Munchetty’s conduct is reported to be ongoing, according to sources cited by multiple outlets.
