Giovanni Pernice cleared of ‘physical aggression’ as BBC apologises to Amanda Abbington in ‘bullying’ probe findings

In latest Giovanni Pernice news, he has been cleared of 'physical aggression' while complaints of verbal bullying and harassment were upheld.

In a statement released on Monday (September 30), the BBC said it takes allegations of bullying and harassment “very seriously” and said the review into the complaints had taken time “due to its complex nature” and in order to ensure “a rigorous and robust process”. A spokesperson for Giovanni said he feels “pleased” that the review “has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour” by him.
