The world of reality TV has been shaken in recent years by numerous accusations of sexual assault on sets. For the first time, images are broadcast on the air. After a drunken evening in Cairns, Australia, Margot, a crew member, is drunk. She then specifies to her colleague: "All I want is water, a bed and no Luke", in reference to the one who made advances to her.
Later in the evening, cameras film the famous Luke entering the young woman's room. He is naked and tries to prevent the technical team from entering the room. When the head of department questions Margot, she declares that she has not consented to anything: "I was sleeping, I did not want any of this". The next day, Luke is fired by the production.
A second intervention of the production
In the same episode, Laura, another crew member, tries to seduce her colleague Adam. He rejects his advances, firmly. Despite this refusal, she follows him to his room and tries to give him a massage, while he sleeps. Again, the production must intervene and land the young woman.
The broadcast of this episode has strongly reacted to Internet users who have welcomed the initiative of the production to show these images. To show the reality of sexual assault. "'No' means 'no' and drinking is not an excuse" or "Thank you to the production for fighting sexual harassment," reads Twitter following the episode's broadcast.
