Josh Duggar's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, speak out after son's arrest for child pornography - Fox News

Josh Duggar's family has spoken out.

The former reality star, 33, was arrested in Arkansas on Thursday. The charges against him were not immediately made clear, but on Friday, it was revealed that he is facing charges of possession of child pornography, which he has pleaded not guilty to.

Now, his parents and fellow "19 Kids and Counting" stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have issued a statement on the matter.

"We appreciate your continued prayers for our family at this time. The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious," they said in a statement obtained by People magazine. "It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner."

The Duggar family did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

"19 Kids and Counting" was canceled in 2015 after Josh was accused of molesting multiple young girls, including several of his own sisters.

Josh's sister Jill and her husband Derek have also spoken out. The couple previously revealed that they've distanced themselves from the famous family.

Duggar is accused of using "the internet to download child sexual abuse material. Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, in May 2019," a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office states.

Duggar is charged by indictment. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and fines up to $250,000 on each count.

Jennifer Lopez spotted with former beau Ben Affleck after splitting from ex-Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez - NJ.com

From J-Rod to ... Bennifer?

The New York Post’s Page Six reports actress/singer Jennifer Lopez has been seen hanging out with former fiancee Ben Affleck, less than two weeks after officially splitting from former New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.

Affleck has been spotted multiple times going to J.Lo’s home during the day, we hear. ... Affleck, 48, has allegedly visited Lopez, 51, three times since she returned to Los Angeles from shooting her new film, “Shotgun Wedding,” in the Dominican Republic.

However Page Six reports the reunion between Lopez and Affleck, who were engaged from 2002 to 2004, is “just friendly.”

An insider said: “They are friends … they’ve never not been.”

This news comes just days after US Weekly reported Rodriguez is hoping for one more turn at the plate with Lopez.

“A-Rod will not give up on his and J. Lo’s relationship,” a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. “He is willing to do anything to make it work.”

But according to US Weekly, “J. Lo still doesn’t trust A-Rod all the way. She’s very skeptical, but she heard him out because she still has a lot of love for him.”

The now-ex couple officially announced the end of their relationship on April 15 with a statement provided to the “Today” show:

We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.

Despite that announcement, Page Six reported Rodriguez and Lopez had dinner last week at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.

It’s the same ritzy restaurant where they went on their first date back in 2017. Lopez also reportedly owns a $28 million mansion in the neighborhood. ... It’s unclear what the friendly Oscar weekend dinner was about. ... Insiders said the pair was amicable during the meeting and “there still seemed to be love and respect there.”

And how’s this for irony? Page Six reports that’s the same hotel Affleck used this week as home base while visiting Lopez.

But the only thing worse than Rodriguez watching Lopez, to whom he proposed in 2019, return to Affleck? Knowing that Affleck always has been ... and always will be ... a die-hard Red Sox fan.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck hang out after Alex Rodriguez split - Page Six

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been spending time together in Los Angeles after her split from Alex Rodriguez, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The Oscar winner has been spotted multiple times going to J.Lo’s California home during the day, we hear, after having been picked up in a white Escalade SUV that allegedly belongs to Lopez and then taken to her nearby mansion.

While the pair have not been spotted together, a source told Page Six, “Security picks him up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house.”

Affleck, 48, has allegedly visited Lopez, 51, three times since she returned to Los Angeles from shooting her new film, “Shotgun Wedding,” in the Dominican Republic.

But sources close to the stars tell us they are just friendly and have remained so over the years.

An insider said: “They are friends … they’ve never not been.”

Page Six reported that Lopez was spotted out to dinner with Rodriguez on April 23 at the Hotel Bel-Air, the same spot where the exes went on their first date back in 2017. She owns a $28 million mansion nearby.

But A-Rod wasn’t the only former fiancé Lopez has allegedly seen since she got back in town.

Sources told us that Affleck was spotted at the same hotel a day before J.Lo saw A-Rod, on April 22, being dropped off by a white SUV — which later drove Lopez and a business associate to a business meeting.

Days later, on April 28, Affleck was allegedly seen coming out of Lopez’s Bel Air home, sources said.

He was spotted again the next day, April 29, dropping his car at the Hotel Bel-Air in the morning and being picked up by the same white Escalade to go to J.Lo’s home. About 3½ hours later, the same white SUV dropped him back at the hotel’s valet, sources said.

Affleck was photographed exiting the white SUV in a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, with a green backpack. He was also photographed leaving his car at the hotel.

Affleck and Lopez were engaged in 2002, and famously dubbed “Bennifer” by the media. But they postponed their wedding in 2003. They split months later in January 2004. Lopez has called the breakup with Affleck “probably my first big heartbreak.”

J.Lo has been seeing famous friends after her breakup with Rodriguez. “When you’re that famous, who are you going to talk to? People who you know, other famous people,” a source said.

Lopez has reportedly been leaning on another ex, Marc Anthony, in the wake of the split, and has also seen her longtime friend Leah Remini.

Reps for Affleck and Lopez did not comment.

Page Six exclusively reported in March that J.Lo and A-Rod were breaking up — though they subsequently said they were “working through some things” before eventually pulling the plug. They’d been engaged since 2019.

Lopez has been rehearsing for “Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World,” hosted by Selena Gomez and also featuring Eddie Vedder, J Balvin and Foo Fighters.

Affleck praised Lopez’s work ethic in a recent InStyle cover story on the pop star.

He told the mag: “I thought I had a good work ethic, but I was completely humbled and blown away by what she was committed to doing day in and day out, the seriousness in which she took her work, the quiet and dedicated way she went about accomplishing her goals, and then how she would go back and redouble her efforts.”

Affleck also said, “Where are you keeping the fountain of youth? Why do you look the same as you did in 2003 and it kind of looks like I’m in my 40s … at best?”

Lopez shares 13-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Anthony, while Affleck shares three children, Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Affleck recently spent quarantine shacked up with Ana de Armas. The couple split in January.

Disneyland’s Back! Bob Iger Snaps Photos, Guests Sob With Joy, Cast Members Line Main Street Waving, City Of Anaheim Exults - Deadline

It seems hard to overstate. Disneyland and California Adventure reopened Friday after 13 months, a tangible sign of a return to normalcy and an upbeat revival at an iconic site – albeit at 25% capacity, for California residents only, and with social distancing and mask wearing.

A line formed outside the gate before the 9 am opening time and park goers were active on social media sharing and tearing up. Disney’s executive chairman Bob Iger was there snapping pictures. Some fans snapped pics of him, others caught glimpses of CEO Bob Chapek, who gave a speech to staffers this morning before opening. Cast members lined Main Street waving at guests. Outlets reported some park goers sobbing and others whooping with joy.

“A truly happy day at the happiest place on earth,” tweeted Iger. He and Disney had lobbied hard for an earlier opening and against tiered restrictions set by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“The reopening of Disneyland, which was shut down in March of last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “is a monumental day for Anaheim,” tweeted a gleeful city spokesman Mike Lyster.

California theme parks are a big source of state and local tax revenue and general economic booster. They’re also key to Disney’s bottom line. Parks have been the entertainment segment about the hardest hit by the global pandemic besides movie theaters and live events. Park closures have cost both Walt Disney and NBUniversal parent Comcast billions of dollars.

Over the past year, California amusement parks have taken issue with Governor Gavin Newsom’s strict closure rules for their properties. In fact, Newsom revealed Iger quit the state task force for economic recovery over their disagreements about reopenings.

Even more recently, there has been confusion over whether fully-vaccinated out-of-state visitors are allowed at parks. Certainly they represent significant revenue for California’s beleaguered parks.

State and local guidelines are confusing — if not contradictory — and while Sea World in San Diego has begun allowing such visitors, most of the big California parks have not. Disneyland has said outright that it will not allow out-of-state visits until the rules are clearer.

It certainly sounded like the state was open for such business yesterday when Newsom held a press conference to sign into law a $6.2 billion tax cut benefitting the hardest hit small businesses in the state.

“We want to see tourism, but we want to see people hear vaccinated,” said the governor Thursday. “So as it relates to time parks that will be reopening, I’ll be down at Universal tomorrow, as an example, visiting with their employees. We want to make sure that visitors to Universal, Disneyland that come from out of the state are vaccinated [so that] we keep everybody safe, we keep this disease at bay.”

Deadline confirmed today with a California Department of Public Health spokesperson that state guidelines permit fully vaccinated people from out of state to participate in activities restricted to in-state visitors. This includes theme parks.

Only four months ago, California was fighting hard to contain a new Covid wave that overran hospitals and was killing hundreds of people a day. The rapid vaccine rollout and waning cases across the U.S. have many states fully open or setting dates to do it.

At Disneyland today, fans headed happily to attractions from Haunted Mansion to Pirates of the Caribbean. “Inside The Magic” fan blog noted only one glitch, a brief closure of the Indiana Jones Adventure just after the gates opened.

Universal Studios Hollywood opened April 16.

Josh Duggar, "19 Kids and Counting" star, facing child pornography charges in Arkansas - CBS News

Josh Duggar, who appeared alongside his parents and 18 siblings on the reality show "19 Kids and Counting," faces charges of downloading and possessing child pornography, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday.

The news comes just days after Duggar, 33, and his wife Anna Duggar, announced they are expecting their seventh child.

According to court documents, in May 2019, Duggar allegedly used the internet to download child pornography, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12. He is charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.

He faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 on each count, if convicted.

Duggar's case is being prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a Justice Department initiative that combats the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. 

In 2015, In Touch magazine published a 2006 police report that claimed Duggar sexually molested five girls as far back as 2002. The incidents were not reported to police until 2006 and authorities could not pursue charges because the statute of limitations had passed.

Duggar, the oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 19 children, resigned from his position at the Family Research Council in Washington, a nongovernmental organization that says its mission is to "advance faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview."

At the time, Duggar posted a statement on the family's Facebook page, writing: "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret." 

"I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation," he said. 

His wife, Anna, also released a statement, revealing that her husband admitted his past wrongdoings to her two years before they got engaged. At the time, the couple only had two children.

The family's reality show was cancelled by TLC in July 2015. In a statement, the company said: "The recent attention around the Duggars has sparked a critical and important conversation about child protection. Over these past weeks, TLC has consulted regularly with leading victims' rights and advocacy organizations in the U.S., including RAINN and Darkness to Light, to discuss how to use this moment to address the issue and make a positive impact. Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is not an isolated issue; it affects many children and families around the world."

That same year, Duggar was accused of having an account on Ashley Madison, a popular website dedicated to discreet encounters and extramarital affairs.

Although Duggar didn't address the dating site directly, the former reality TV star released a statement, saying: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife."

He later changed the statement to read: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have been unfaithful to my wife."

BAFTA Rescinds Award for Actor Noel Clarke - The New York Times

The British actor and director has been accused of sexual assault, harassment and bullying by 20 women in a published report.

LONDON — The body that awards Britain’s equivalent of the Oscars has suspended a prominent actor and director weeks after he received one of its top awards, following accusations of sexual assault, sexual harassment and bullying from 20 women.

Producers, actresses and production assistants said the actor, Noel Clarke, secretly filmed auditions in which they were naked, groped or forcibly kissed them, and sent unsolicited intimate pictures. The testimonies were detailed in a lengthy exposé published by The Guardian on Thursday evening.

Mr. Clarke, 45, grew up in London and established himself as an actor in the 2000s with the television series “Doctor Who.” He is well-known in Britain as a filmmaker and performer for his trilogy “The Hood,” about the lives of teenagers in West London, and for the TV police dramas “Bulletproof” and “Viewpoint.” His production company, Unstoppable Film & Television, has made more than 10 movies and television shows.

Mr. Clarke denied the all accusations through his lawyers, according to The Guardian, with the exception of an episode in which he was accused of making inappropriate comments about a woman. He said he later apologized in that case.

A spokesman for the artist management agency 42 M&P said it had stopped representing Mr. Clarke in April. Other efforts to contact Mr. Clarke and his representatives were not immediately successful.

Allegations of sexual harassment in the film industry have poured forth in recent years following revelations about Harvey Weinstein in The New York Times that touched off the #MeToo movement. Mr. Clarke is one of the first prominent actors to face such allegations in Britain.

In a statement provided to The Guardian, Mr. Clarke said, “In a 20-year career, I have put inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of my work and never had a complaint made against me.”

“If anyone who has worked with me has ever felt uncomfortable or disrespected, I sincerely apologize,” Mr. Clarke said, denying any sexual misconduct or wrongdoing, and dismissing the accusations as false.

The extent of the potential consequences for Mr. Clarke became clear on Friday when the television network ITV took the unusual step of saying in a statement that it would not air the finale of “Viewpoint,” a drama starring the actor, on its main channel Friday night because of the accusations against him.

Mr. Clarke was recently honored by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, known commonly as BAFTA, with the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema prize at its annual ceremony earlier this month, even though it was made aware of the accusations nearly two weeks before the ceremony.

BAFTA said in a statement on Friday that in the days following an announcement that Mr. Clarke would be awarded the prize, it received emails accusing him of sexual misconduct.

The allegations, the organization said, were either anonymous or second- or third-hand accounts via intermediaries, adding that it would have responded differently if the testimonies had come directly from the accusers.

“No names, times, dates, productions or other details were ever provided,” BAFTA said. “Had the victims gone on record as they have with The Guardian, the award would have been suspended immediately.”

BAFTA, which had previously honored Mr. Clarke with its rising star award in 2009, said in an earlier statement, released shortly after the article was published, that it had suspended his award and membership of the academy “immediately and until further notice.”

The Guardian report cited nearly two dozen women in the movie industry who said they had been subjected to a range of abuses that include unwanted physical contact, groping and forced kisses, as well as unsolicited sexual behavior on set, including eight on the record.

The Norwegian film producer Synne Seltveit said Mr. Clarke slapped her buttocks in 2015, and later sent an unwanted explicit sexual picture. The actress Gina Powel said Mr. Clarke exposed himself to her in a car and later groped her in an elevator, also in 2015. Anna Avramenko, an assistant film director, said Mr. Clarke had forcibly kissed her on set in 2008 and had tried several times again after the incident.

Helen Atherton, an art director on “Brotherhood,” which is part of “The Hood” trilogy, said Mr. Clarke had violated norms for the ethical filming of sex and nude scenes, including the hiring a nonprofessional actress to perform a scene in which intimate parts of her anatomy were visible.

In recent years, as TV and movie productions grapple with the implications of the #MeToo movement, “intimacy coordinators,” are becoming a common presence on set. Their job is to ensure sex scenes don’t compromise or exploit the performers, and recent British and Irish shows like “It’s a Sin” and “Normal People” have featured intimacy coordinators among their crew.

Onscreen, the plots of some recent British hits, like “Sex Education” and “I May Destroy You,” have turned on questions of sexual consent.

The British actress and writer Michaela Coel, who created “I May Destroy You,” in which she plays a young Londoner who investigates her own rape, said in a statement she supported the women who accused Mr. Clarke.

“Speaking out about these incidents takes a lot of strength because some call them ‘gray areas.’ They are, however, far from gray,” Ms. Coel said.

“These behaviors are unprofessional, violent and can destroy a person’s perception of themselves, their place in the world and their career irreparably.”

In his speech at the BAFTA Awards this month, Mr. Clarke, who is Black, dedicated his award to the “underrepresented, anyone who sits at home believing that they can achieve more.”

“This is particularly for my young Black boys and girls out there who never believed that this could happen to them,” Mr. Clarke said.

He added, “Hopefully people see that I’ve tried to elicit change in the industry.”

The British academy had been repeatedly criticized for its lack of diversity in its list of awards nominees, and last year announced a series of changes in its nomination and prize-giving process.

For this year’s awards, BAFTA’s 6,700 voting members had to undergo unconscious bias training and watch every nominated movie before they could cast their ballots for each category — an attempt to deter voters from focusing on the most hyped films.

In the statement on Friday, BAFTA said it had asked individuals to come forward with their accounts and identify themselves.

“We very much regret that women felt unable to provide us with the kind of firsthand testimony that has now appeared in The Guardian,” it said. “Had we been in receipt of this, we would never have presented the award to Noel Clarke.”

Josh Duggar pleads not guilty to federal child pornography charges following arrest - Fox News

Josh Duggar pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of child pornography in court on Friday, one day following his arrest.

The hearing, which was held virtually over Zoom in the Western District of Arkansas, began at 11 a.m. CT. Duggar appeared from jail and was seen smiling before the hearing kicked off. He was represented by Arkansas attorney Travis W. Story.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Arkansas confirmed the 33-year-old former "19 Kids and Counting" star has been charged with receiving and possessing material depicting the sexual abuse of children.

Duggar is accused of allegedly using "the internet to download child sexual abuse material. Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, in May 2019," a release from the US Attorney's Office states.

Duggar is charged by indictment. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and fines up to $250,000 on each count.

 A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Duggar's charges were not read aloud during the hearing -- a request made by his attorney and granted by the court. His attorney pleaded "not guilty to both counts."

Duggar's attorney is requesting he be released on bond. A trial date for his case was set for July 6, with a pre-trial hearing scheduled for July 1. Prior to trial and based on his request to be released from jail on bond, Federal Magistrate Judge Erin L. Wiedemann informed Duggar's attorneys that if he is eligible for release, he would be required to reside with a third-party custodian.

Wiedemann informed Duggar that he cannot be in the presence of minors if he is released from jail. A hearing set to determine whether he will be released is scheduled for May 5 at 1:30 p.m. CT.

"Given the nature of the charges against him, the court would likely require a third-party custodian that he could reside with and that would ensure compliance with conditions of bond so you all would need to get that line out and inform our probation office of who that person is so they could interview that person," Wiedemann said. 

"They also will want to interview Mr. Duggar. They won't discuss your charges Duggar but they will interview you for information to determine whether you're a good person for release, in a residence where they are no minors in the home or that would be visiting unsupervised," the judge continued.

The former reality star will remain in custody pending the May 5 hearing.

The 33-year-old was arrested on Thursday afternoon local time, according to an online profile from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Back in 2019, the car dealership where Duggar worked was raided by Homeland Security in connection with an ongoing federal investigation, though it's currently unclear if the raid and his arrest are connected.

Earlier the same week, it was reported that the Duggar household was also raided, though the family denied it.

He's also been previously accused of sexually abusing several of his sisters, as well as a fifth unrelated victim.

Duggar's arrest news comes days after his wife, Anna, announced the couple was expecting their seventh child together

"This case is being prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims," the US Attorney's Office release continued.

The case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations Fayetteville and the Northwest Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

ITV Pulls ‘Viewpoint’ Following Noel Clarke Sexual Misconduct Allegations - Variety

U.K. broadcaster ITV has pulled the plug on the finale of its new drama series “Viewpoint,” which was set to air tonight (Friday) at 9 p.m., following numerous allegations made about series star Noel Clarke.

The “Love Island” broadcaster has been facing intense pressure to call time early on the police drama — which has been airing every night this week — after a Guardian investigation yielded a slew of sexual misconduct, harassment and bullying claims against Clarke. The outlet spoke with 20 women who had worked with the actor in a professional setting.

“ITV has a zero tolerance policy to bullying, harassment and victimisation and robust procedures in place to investigate and deal with any complaints. We strongly believe that everyone deserves to work in a supportive and safe environment,” reads a statement shared with Variety.

“In light of the very serious nature of the allegations against Noel Clarke raised by 20 women in the Guardian’s report, ITV has decided it is no longer appropriate to broadcast the final episode of the drama ‘Viewpoint’ on ITV main channel this evening.

“We are mindful that some of our viewers have already invested four hours of their time over the past four nights in following this thriller which was due to conclude this evening, and they have yet to see the final episode. As such we plan to make it available on ITV Hub tonight for a limited time for any viewers who wish to seek it out, and watch its conclusion.”

Variety understands that “Viewpoint” producer Tiger Aspect nor ITV received complaints about Clarke’s behaviour during the making of the show.

The series — which aired on Thursday night, a mere two hours after the Guardian story dropped — will be made available on ITV Hub until Sunday evening, after which it will disappear from all ITV platforms.

Shortly after news broke of ITV yanking the finale, “Viewpoint” star Alexandra Roach thanked the women who spoke out for their “incredible bravery in coming forward and helping to put a stop to this kind of behaviour in our industry.”

“If I could stop working with sexual predators…that would be great,” said Roach. “Sending a big hug to all cast and crew who worked so very hard on ‘Viewpoint.’ For those that want to see the  final episode you’ll find it on ITV Hub for the next few days.”

Meanwhile, Clarke has also been removed from a writing scheme run by ITV and “The Salisbury Poisonings” producer Dancing Ledge Productions, a company in which Fremantle has a 25% stake.

Clarke was to mentor Alex Straker, whose writing credits include “EastEnders” and “Holby City”. ITV and Dancing Ledge have decided that it is “no longer appropriate” to have Clarke remain as a mentor because of the allegations against him, and a new mentor will be found for Straker.

The fall-out from the Guardian’s bombshell investigation has been swift. BAFTA suspended the actor, who recently received a special award from the org, from its membership, while Clarke’s long-time friend and “Bulletproof” co-star Ashley Waters also distanced himself from the star, saying he could “never condone behaviour of this nature neither in nor out of the workplace.”

British filmmaker and Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke has been accused of verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual hara - The A.V. Club

On Thursday, The Guardian published an exposé on Noel Clarke, where multiple women shared allegations of verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual harassment against the actor and filmmaker. Clarke is perhaps best known to American audiences for his role as Mickey Smith in Doctor Who. He won a BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution To Cinema Award this year for his contributions to British cinema by writing, directing, and producing the Kidulthood, Adulthood, and Brotherhood film series.

But as The Guardian reported, two weeks before Clarke was given the prestigious award, BAFTA had been informed of the multiple allegations, still awarding Clarke because there was “no evidence that would allow it to investigate” the claims. After the newspaper’s exposé was published, BAFTA suspended the filmmaker, releasing a statement that reads, “In light of the allegations of serious misconduct regarding Noel Clarke in the Guardian this evening, BAFTA has taken the decision to suspend his membership and the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award immediately and until further notice.”

The Guardian spoke to 20 women, who each detailed their stories—some on the record and some anonymously—of the mistreatment at the hands of Clarke. These allegations include “sexual harassment, unwanted touching or groping, sexually inappropriate behaviour and comments on set, professional misconduct, taking and sharing sexually explicit pictures and videos without consent, and bullying between 2004 and 2019.”

Gina Powell, who worked for Clarke as a producer on Brotherhood, told the publication that she experienced constant harassment at the hands of the multi-hyphenated filmmaker, who once told her that when he hired her, he planned to “fuck her and fire her.” He also bragged about obtaining footage he took without consent during naked auditions. One of the videos featured Brotherhood actor Jahannah James, during her audition for the film Legacy. The actor told The Guardian that Clarke had promised her the audition wouldn’t be filmed.

Other accounts of Clarke’s misconduct from several women—including Powell—who detailed physical touch, kissing, groping, and indecent exposure without their consent. Powell recalled an instance where Clarke exposed himself in a car and she told him it was “not right.” But the next day, Powell says Clarke scolded her and while alone in an elevator, he groped her to get “what he was owed.” An anonymous crew member from a film that Clarke produced and acted in also shared that she had a similar experience, where she was groped in a storage room on set. An actor who appeared in Kidulthood as a teen said that near the beginning of filming, he “put his tongue in [her] mouth” and after that, would constantly sexually harass her. “It’s upsetting for me to realize how fucking vulnerable and inexperienced I was at that age. I was too scared to say anything,” she said. Clarke had asked the actor to appear in the sequel, Adulthood, which included a “full-on sex scene” with him. She told him that she refused to do the scene, and Clarke responded by saying she’d “never work again.”

There are numerous other accounts by women who’ve shared similar, horrific stories at the hands of Clarke. But the filmmaker denied all allegations to The Guardian through his lawyers, who said he “categorically denies all of the other allegations, from all 20 women, in some cases questioning their credibility.” But inappropriate tweets from the actor and producer have resurfaced, including one that reads, “What’s ur favourite thing about the sex you’re attracted too? (My PR answer would B everything about a woman) But #CantLie VaJayJay all day.”

The consequences have been swift for Clarke, too. According to Deadline, All3Media, the production company that backs Clarke’s own production company Unstoppable Film and Television, launched an investigation into the allegations. Talent agency CAA also dropped Clarke, and so did Industry Entertainment and UK managers 42.

Guy Fieri, Fired Up: The Food Network King, With a Massive New Deal, Pushes for More Restaurant Relief - Hollywood Reporter

Once mocked by white-tablecloth elites, Fieri just signed a landmark pact for a TV chef as he steps into a respected elder statesman role in the food world — raising millions for workers unemployed due to COVID-19: "I was pissed."

Guy Fieri's 1968 Camaro is conspicuously absent from the lineup of vintage wheels abutting his Windsor, California, ranch in Sonoma Valley wine country.

The cherry-red convertible seen in 400-plus episodes of the star chef and car collector's culinary travelogue Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is en route from points east, where production resumed this past winter, but the platinum blond is spending a few days at home between shoots. Like most people, Fieri is taking baby steps in the return to normalcy — though his pre-pandemic status quo meant supplying Food Network with a dizzying 80 annual hours of original programming. Fieri was among the first to film remotely in 2020, appearing on air within a week of nationwide lockdown orders, so he naturally was back on the road as soon as he was allowed.

"Here's my research for Hawaii; we're getting ready to go shoot there next," says Fieri, sliding a spiral-bound agenda of eateries across the table that separates us. Some businesses anointed by his Midas touch have seen sales climb fivefold after Fieri scarfs their creations on TV, a stat that carries new significance for the host given the calamitous effect of the downturn on the restaurant business. "Then I'm trying to finally put Puerto Rico together," he adds, grabbing another binder. "They need some love."

This March afternoon at Fieri's home isn't unlike catching up with a busy friend who just happens to have an Emmy statuette and a few bottles of the tequila brand he owns with Sammy Hagar on the kitchen island. One of three wine country properties Fieri keeps in his native Northern California, this has been where he, Lori, his wife of 26 years, and sons Hunter and Ryder have spent most of the past year with their three dogs. The smallest, a Chihuahua named Smokey, is Fieri's favorite — as the handmade "Enter slowly please; small dog" sign at the end of his long driveway suggests.

Where Fieri, a volcano of enthusiasm on camera, subverts expectation is in his almost subdued hospitality. Not a nacho, battered chicken thigh or jalapeno popper in sight, the man synonymous with on-camera caloric intake instead pulls me a double shot of espresso. "I got really good at this over the last year," he says, nodding to the coffee machine.

Fieri sharpened this skill while also in the past year raising more than $25 million for food workers left unemployed by COVID-19 closures. He is now devoting most of his energy and, under a landmark new TV deal, his creative output into rebuilding the industry that once poked fun at his unrefined aesthetic and bacon-bedazzled menus. These days, it's hard to not take Fieri seriously. As he plans to beat the drum for restaurant relief even louder — and as those hardest hit by America's selective recession start to fall out of the news cycle — the goateed gastronomist's sense of purpose may be the thing to finally eclipse his brash persona.

"Nothing can replace what this kind of recognition, appearing on TV, can do for these people and their businesses … for their lives," he says, taking a sip of coffee. "I need to keep doing this because it just needs to be done."

***

Thirteen months ago, as the pandemic began and the country's collective anxiety skyrocketed, Fieri was not scared or nervous. He was too angry. "I don't get pissed or lose my shit," he explains. "But I was pissed."

Restaurants were closed from coast to coast, and, by Fieri's estimation, most — the types of mom-and-pop places featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives — maybe had a 10-day runway before the money dried up. It was mid-March 2020, and he was on his elliptical machine — Fieri comes up with a lot of his ideas during cardio — when he decided to ask his business manager for contact info for CEOs of major corporations. He drafted personal emails to power brokers like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, soliciting donations for an emergency relief fund that would ultimately award more than 43,000 grants — of $500 each — to out-of-work line cooks, servers and other restaurant professionals.

Today, in a crisp black button-down, Fieri opines on the crisis with an undiminished passion. "I'm not into shaming people and telling who didn't donate, that's not my style," Fieri says, as he credits getting huge sums of money from PepsiCo, Uber Eats and Procter & Gamble before taking a pause. "Jeff, by the way, didn't help us," he shares.

"There is no better salesman than Guy," says Food Network president Courtney White, whose most bankable talent has fronted 14 series on her network. "There's a power to his enthusiasm. It gets people to rally around his vision, whether it's a pitch for a show or in raising all that money."

While he was hitting up Fortune 500 companies for donations, Fieri sold White on making the Discovery-owned network's first feature-length documentary, Restaurant Hustle 2020: All on the Line. Co-directed by Fieri, the doc follows four chefs trying to stay in business at the height of the pandemic. It premiered in December, and a follow-up is in the works for this summer. Fieri also pivoted the recent season of Food Network's chef-competition show Tournament of Champions — his first project back in a studio after shooting at-home versions of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Guy's Grocery Games — to redirect all its prize money (more than $210,000) to struggling restaurateurs.

His philanthropy long has been known in Sonoma County, where he's fed frontline workers and displaced neighbors impacted by area wildfires. But this latest crisis is playing out on a much larger stage and finds Fieri, who turned 53 in January, moving into the type of elder statesman role previously reserved for white-tablecloth ambassadors like José Andrés and Tom Colicchio.

Tally the long line of show credits and the millions in contributions, and it becomes challenging to reconcile the Fieri of 2021 — emergent folk hero — with the Fieri who first materialized on American TV in April 2006, newly crowned winner of a nascent reality competition (The Next Food Network Star). In that first year, he went from anonymous restaurateur to making less than $1,000 an episode on his first cooking show (Guy's Big Bite) to launching the career-defining Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

"We built a five-year plan for him, and he blew through it in, like, three," says longtime agent Jason Hodes, partner at WME, whose colleagues used to tell him to "hug the rocket" as Fieri accumulated series and licensing deals. "He's a true household name, just one that people can't seem to pronounce correctly."

Despite opening most every show with a familiar "Hi, I'm Guy Fieri," swapping out the "r" in his last name for an Italian flourish that sounds more like "Fiedi," his preferred pronunciation eludes most of his huge audience. An average 73 million viewers, per Food Network, watch at least one piece of Fieri programming quarterly. And while he hasn't worked full-time in a kitchen for two decades, he's involved with more than 85 restaurants globally and recently partnered with Planet Hollywood CEO Robert Earl on an ambitious delivery-only concept, Flavortown Kitchen. If you live in a major U.S. city, chances are you can have a Fieri-sanctioned Bacon Mac N Cheese Burger delivered in the same time it takes to watch an episode of Guy's Ranch Kitchen.

Fieri has been working in close proximity to food since he was 10, first as a dishwasher growing up in the hamlet of Ferndale on the coast of Northern California. After getting a degree in hospitality management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he moved to Southern California, at one point becoming a district manager of Louise's Trattoria. By 1996, Fieri was a newlywed and a recent transplant to Santa Rosa, where he opened the first place of his own, Johnny Garlic's. Two more followed, as did the barbecue-sushi fusion temple Tex Wasabi's. This is where the flavor profile commonly associated with Fieri — wild and indulgent — started to emerge.

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, the restaurateur behind Manhattan mainstay Butter, became friends with Fieri on the set of the Food Network competition show Rachael vs. Guy. Like many in his orbit, she struggles to define the ineffable Fieri-ness that keeps people watching and eating. She tries comparing him to an altruistic Jay Gatsby and a unicorn before changing course. "A lot of people suck the air out of the room," says Guarnaschelli. "Guy is the opposite. Guy is a human air conditioner for good feelings. Being around him makes you more confident in yourself."

Fieri's 24-year-old son, Hunter, has an easier explanation for his success. "That dude just has more energy than anybody I've ever met," says Hunter, his father's de facto co-star since the start of the pandemic. "It is amazing and scary at the same time."

Through that mix of likability and restlessness, Fieri has reached a rare summit. Ignoring Oprah Winfrey, he's the closest thing to a flagship human currently on TV. He'll anchor at least four primetime shows on Food Network this year, with at least three others — some starring vehicles, others just productions of his Knuckle Sandwich shingle — in development. In January, he became the face of digital platform Discovery+, home to his entire library. And despite overtures from one broadcast network and several aggressive streamers, Fieri recently signed a new deal to stay put at Food Network through at least 2024.

"We've been offered and enticed, and, yes, there's probably a way to do this in some different levels, but I'm treated pretty well," notes Fieri, who says his allegiances lie with a handful of programming executives, not any parent company. "I got a chance of a lifetime, and I think I played it good."

One particularly savvy Fieri play involves his commute. Eight years ago, around the time he was being courted for a potential Supermarket Sweep reboot off-network, Knuckle Sandwich was developing what would eventually become Guy's Grocery Games — a frenetic cook-off set in on supermarket soundstage called Flavortown Market. Then-Food Network executive Allison Page was interested, but she wanted Fieri as the host. Reluctantly, Fieri conceded to film just 12 episodes in Los Angeles. When that first season was a hit, Fieri only agreed to move forward on the condition production moved closer to home. So, Food Network bankrolled a fully functioning grocery market-slash-set constructed in a 15,500-square-foot Santa Rosa warehouse. By Fieri's design, every item in Flavortown Market is real and edible, which allows him to donate $350,000 in unused food to the nearby Redwood Gospel Mission every year. Much of the 150-person crew returned after a year-long absence in April, and the show — now Fieri's most popular— will soon hit 275 episodes.

As for his three-year deal, which sources paint in the high eight figures, it's said to be the biggest talent deal of its kind for Discovery Inc. (The company declined to comment on any deal points.) Still, it's hard to place a price tag when the fate of a brand like Food Network seems so inexorably tied to the man it put in front of the camera, with zero expectations, 15 years ago. "I just can't imagine Food Network without Guy," says White. "I can't even bring myself to try to imagine it."

***

Everybody I speak with about Fieri has a story of witnessing the scope of his popularity in public. People apparently are not shy around someone whose conspicuous mug is available on TV nearly every day. And as the man himself prepares for a slew of weeks on the road with Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, in a reopening world, Fieri will gladly indulge their attention once again. He does, however, have a request.

"Don't call me 'that food critic,' " says Fieri, bristling. "I highlight. I recognize. I do not critique. If I don't like the food, you won't see it on my shows. Who wants to watch something called It Sucks: Don't Come to This Fucking Place?"

Criticism is understandably a touchy subject for Fieri. Objections to his swagger and flamboyant food ethos are perhaps best distilled in the infamous 2012 New York Times ravaging of his since-shuttered Times Square bistro, Guy's American Kitchen & Bar. The pan, which went viral with low blow after low blow, probably wouldn't be written today — and not just because the newspaper reconsidered its approach to reviews once restaurants started closing en masse. Perception of Fieri has changed, and schadenfreude no longer is in fashion.

"Zero-star review or not, Guy's making an undeniable contribution to the restaurant industry in a way that is so desperately needed," says Guarnaschelli. "I think people now look at him as a restaurant person and not just the guy who's always on TV who happens to have some restaurants."

Evidence for that shift can be seen in the lineup of recent visitors to the Fieri portfolio. Such culinary elites as Marcus Samuelsson, Nancy Silverton and Michael Voltaggio are game to pal around with the anointed "Mayor of Flavortown" on his multiple series as he continues to remind audiences — and anyone who'll listen to him — that there's still no clear path back to normal for the hobbled restaurant community. It's a message that he hopes is louder than his frosted tips.

"You can easily be misinterpreted when you have platinum blond hair and tattoos," says Fieri, making eyes at Smokey the Chihuahua. "But I'm not for everybody. I don't know if anybody is."

What Fieri doesn't appear to realize is that he's come closer than most.

Michaela Coel Comments On Noel Clarke Misconduct Allegations: “They Are Far From Grey”; More Reactions - Deadline

I May Destroy You creator and star Michaela Coel has published a statement in response to last night’s bombshell Guardian investigation in which more than 20 women made allegations of misconduct against UK actor and producer Noel Clarke.

Coel had retweeted the story last night without comment. Today, she took to Twitter to add that she wanted to offer “great support for the 20 brave women who have come forward”. The full statement is embedded below.

Ashley Walters, Clarke’s co-star in Sky series Bulletproof, also took to Twitter to react today, writing that he was “deeply saddened” and that while Clarke had been his friend for years, he “cannot stand by and ignore the allegations”.

Reaction across the UK biz today has been decisive. Deadline revealed that Sky has halted working with the Bulletproof creator on season four of that show and “all future productions”, as have the producer of the series Vertigo Films.

Last night, BAFTA confirmed it has suspended Clarke’s membership and withdrawn his recent Outstanding Contribution To British Cinema Award. The awards body has, however, received flak for the suggestion in the Guardian article that it knew of some form of the allegations in advance of giving Clarke the prize. Today, it published a new statement addressing those claims.

Also reacting to the news today was Bulletproof actor David Elliot, who posted the hashtags #STOPPABLE (in reference to Clarke’s production company Unstoppable) and #TIMESUP on his Instagram story:

The actress Kaya Scodelario posted a series of tweets addressing the part of the Guardian exposé that claimed Clarke had secretly filmed an actress nude during an audition, detailing a similar experience with another “big director”:

Time’s Up UK tweeted the below statement:

Actors’ union equity published this statement from its General Secretary Paul W Fleming on its website: “The allegations against Noel Clarke are phenomenally serious, and warrant investigation and treatment not just by BAFTA but by the producers on whose watch the alleged offences occurred. An environment where women, or any who suffer bullying, abuse or harassment are unable to come forward is one where those with power in our industry have singularly failed in their moral, and often legal duties of care.

“Equity’s strong position on meaningful and accessible Dignity at Work policies puts the obligations squarely where they sit: on producers and engagers to create and defend workplaces which are safe spaces. Those who perpetrate structural inequality in society will continue to exist, but an industry in which they can survive and thrive can be changed if those with power have the will to do so.”
