Last month, Jermaine Jenas was let go by the BBC due to several allegations against him. But now, even more allegations have surfaced about the disgraced presenter. According to reports, a junior make-up artist has come forward, claiming that Jenas harassed her for sex.
The 41-year-old former host of The One Show has been facing multiple accusations in recent months, and this latest account involves a woman who says she told Jenas she had a boyfriend, but he still persisted in trying to have sex with her. She claims that he even suggested she come to his dressing room early so he could perform a sexual act on her, saying it wouldn't be considered cheating.
This alleged incident took place in 2017 at BT Sport, where Jenas was starting to establish his career. However, the woman did not report it at the time out of fear of losing her job. In an interview with the Daily Mail, the make-up artist, who has chosen to remain anonymous, shared her experience. She says she made it clear to Jenas that she was not interested in him romantically or sexually, but he continued to pursue her. She was surprised when he followed her on Instagram after their first encounter, and claims that he then began sending her explicit messages, including a video of him holding his genitals and asking for a "snog."
The woman says that Jenas asked her for a "birthday kiss" on his birthday and promised to keep it a secret. She responded by reminding him that she was in a relationship and not interested in his advances. However, he allegedly ignored her response and continued to send her messages, including one that said "But you're so sexy! I want you!!!!" with an angry emoji.
The woman also claims that Jenas asked her if she would rather "lay on [her] back" while he performed an intimate act, or if she preferred something more explicit. She says she once again told him she was not interested and did not want to cheat on her boyfriend.
Jenas is currently married to model Ellie Penfold and they have three children together. He also has a daughter with his ex-partner. The woman in the allegations says that Jenas initially messaged her on Instagram, and then later apologized for his behavior. However, she wonders if his apology was simply to maintain a "family man image" for his new job on The One Show.
When contacted for a response, a spokesperson for Jenas denied that the messages were unsolicited. They also expressed disappointment that it took seven years for these accusations to come to light. Jenas has previously apologized for his past actions and is currently focusing on his family.
The BBC confirmed that Jenas is no longer a part of their presenting lineup, and he has been lying low since the allegations were made. He admitted to sending inappropriate texts to two BBC co-workers and said he would seek legal advice, as he believes there are two sides to every story and he was not happy with how things played out.
The Agency reached out to TNT Sport and Jenas' representative for comment, but has not received a response at this time.
