Katherine Ryan Alleges Sex Video Incident Backstage

Comedian Katherine Ryan has alleged that a 'very famous, rich, and powerful' non-British male comedian showed explicit sex videos of himself to fellow performers, including a young female comedian, in a green room before a show. The incident, described on the Nip Tuck podcast, left the young woman visibly uncomfortable just before going on stage. Ryan said such conduct underscores the ongoing sexual misconduct and double standards faced by women in comedy, where they are often minorities and encounter unsafe situations. She also noted that sharing sexually explicit content without consent is considered image-based abuse under the law. Ryan's comments have reignited debate about the Me Too movement and the need for increased protections and accountability in entertainment. The incident reflects broader industry issues surrounding female safety and workplace culture.
