BBC Launches Formal Investigation Into Naga Munchetty Over Bullying Allegations

The move follows months of workplace‑culture scrutiny of BBC Breakfast with support from external HR advisers.

Overview

  • Reports say the inquiry follows an internal review of BBC Breakfast that escalated allegations about Munchetty’s conduct.
  • Claims under examination include allegedly bullying colleagues and using inappropriate sexual language off air.
  • The BBC said it does not comment on individual HR matters, reiterating that workplace conduct complaints are taken seriously.
  • An adviser from PwC has been assisting the corporation’s examination of the show’s culture, and editor Richard Frediani was reported as cleared in September.
  • Munchetty continues to present on air alongside Charlie Stayt as the show carries regular items, from an awkward studio exchange over a rope artwork to emotional human‑interest coverage and Storm Claudia travel and flooding warnings.
