#Jing lusi feet series
“ Red Eye marks a turning point in British Asian representation and I am beyond thrilled and proud to be leading this series alongside the wonderful Richard Armitage,” said Lusi, who played Amanda Ling in breakout Crazy Rich Asians and also starred in Netflix’s Man vs. Jahannah James is an actor in Brotherhood, Jing Lusi also an actor best known for her role in Crazy Rich Asians, Gina Powell is a film producer and Ieva Sabaliauskaite a production assistant.ITV Takes Over From Channel 4 As Home Of England Men's Soccer Qualifiers ‘Jahannah James’, ‘Jing Lusi’, ‘Gina Powell’ and ‘Ieva Sabaliauskaite’ are all breakout search terms right now. Even a simple ‘Oi mate, can’t you see you’re making her uncomfortable?’ would be a start.Īs the Noel Clarke story continues to make waves, the women named in the report are trending on Google Trends. It doesn’t have to be aggressive it doesn’t have to threaten a friendship (although you’d hope it would), it just has to be said in one way or another. If he’s being too tactile, groping or shouting abuse at women: Call. If he’s showing you naked images of women on his phone, call him out. If a man is constantly being sexually suggestive towards women in the room, especially when he is their boss or holds more power and status in that room, call him out. Well, you only need to read this investigation to see areas where, in the incidents described by the accusers, men could step in and hold their friend, colleague or even a stranger accountable should similar instances happen around them. We have seen it discussed more and more in the wake of Sarah Everard’s death, men asking: ‘What can I do to help?’ Big-time women in the industry certainly are, Michaela Coel released a statement earlier today as has London Hughes and Lily Allen.Īnd now, it’s starting a bigger conversation, outside of these allegations, about the role men play in creating safe environments for women. No one is suggested any sense of guilt by association, but when these men could so obviously speak on Clarke’s character or at the very least, show support for the brave women going public with these allegations, the fact that they’re not is telling. You’ll see the men he’s worked with time and time again. Go on Getty Images and type in Noel Clarke, you’ll see he has a whole host of celebrity friends. The men in those rooms will hold more power and status just by virtue of being men, but for some of them, say the fellow actors, producers or directors involved in Clarke’s projects – they are certainly in a position were speaking up would cost them much less than the young, vulnerable women coming out now. These were the people willing to be named knowing that there was less at risk for their careers by coming forward, it seems, but if an intern is willing to speak publicly, where are the men speaking on the allegations? Sirin spoke to big timers in the acting industry, but a number of the allegations also came from small-time crew members, interns, and Clarke’s driver. More than that though, what needs discussing is how hard finding some of these women must’ve been when there are so many prominent men who must’ve bore witness to the alleged incidents. Phrases like ‘the industry’s best kept secret’ and ‘hiding in plain sight’ are coming up a lot. It’s what everyone’s talking about on Twitter today, the fact that only when dozens of women come forward are allegations even taken seriously. ‘These are the lengths women have to go to just to have their allegations investigated.’
‘This is what it takes,’ I thought, both in awe of Sirin’s work and haunted by how much must’ve been involved. To put it simply, the list of people involved in painting this picture of Noel was exhaustive. But it wasn’t just that there were 20 women, it was the detail at which each allegation was explained, fact-checked and cross-referenced with people who were in the room, overhead conversations about it or friends who were told at the time.
It took me 30 minutes to read the entire 6300+ word feature, stopping at times to discuss with friends the sheer number of allegations. (Again, he denies all of these, bar the one mentioned above). Then there’s bullying, threatening behaviour and sustained sexual harassment. Reading Sirin Kale’s incredible investigation into the allegations of groping, harassment and bullying against Noel Clarke (allegations he has categorically denied apart from one accusation of making inappropriate comments about a female colleague), there was one overriding thought in my brain: Where are all the men in this?Īs part of Sirin’s report, 20 women have gone on the record – some named, some anonymous – accusing Noel of incidents ranging from inappropriate comments and sharing other women’s nude images with them to groping, sending unsolicited dick pics and indecent exposure.
