<\/p>\n
Shocking new claims allege five men currently working at GB News have faced past allegations of \u2018sexual impropriety\u2019.<\/p>\n
One man is said to have been previously accused of rape.<\/p>\n
According to Byline Times, two of the unnamed men stand accused of groping offences.<\/p>\n
Three men are said to have lost roles in other media companies over the allegations.<\/p>\n
Also mentioned in the bombshell new article is GB News CEO Angelos Frangopoulos, who was named in a sexual harassment complaint last year.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s claimed Frangopoulos is protected by a non-disclosure agreement and that the complaint \u2013 the details of which were not specified \u2013 led to a female member of staff leaving GB News with a five-figure settlement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Byline Times reports that none of the five men have been charged and it\u2019s \u2018unclear\u2019 whether the trio of men who previously lost jobs were asked by the channel about the circumstances surrounding their departure.<\/p>\n
The outlet claims to have spoken to over 15 people with \u2018knowledge of the allegations against the five men\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The unnamed man at the centre of the most serious allegations is said to have been accused of raping a junior female colleague at another media organisation.<\/p>\n
Allegedly, the incident took place in a hotel room in 2021 following after-work drinks.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s claimed the woman \u2018required extensive external support\u2019 and ultimately left her job.<\/p>\n
Byline Times says the matter was reported to senior managers at the company however a HR investigation was cut short because the complainant couldn\u2019t make a statement to police for medical reasons.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A source told the outlet: \u2018The allegation was credible and detailed and sufficiently serious for the man involved to leave his job. It had a very big impact on the woman in question and her mental health suffered significantly afterwards and she was unable to continue in her role either.<\/p>\n
\u2018The details of the allegation were known to people within\u00a0GB News<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>when the man was given a new job there. His arrival upset a lot of people.<\/p>\n \u2018Some said they would quit if they had to work with him and he ended up being placed into a role where they would not have to share a studio space.\u2019<\/p>\n GB News declined to comment when approached by Metro.co.uk.<\/em><\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
