‘BBC Breakfast’ Boss Richard Frediani Faces Further Bullying Claims: “A Tyrant On The Shop Floor”


'BBC Breakfast' boss Richard Frediani faces more workplace bullying allegations, with presenter Naga Munchetty among those said to have misgivings.

ITN is currently facing questions over its handling of historical complaints and use of non-disclosure agreements after an independent report concluded last year that employees had “low trust” in management processes. Fueled by a love of sweet treats, Frediani is a near-constant presence in the office and asks his team to pitch stories that make viewers late for work because they are so compelling to watch. He has fashioned Breakfast into a show that seeks to set the agenda with human interest stories, such as propelling Captain Tom Moore into the national consciousness by spotlighting his pandemic heroics.
