-winning actor and filmmaker Noel Clarke, who has denied all but one of numerous allegations. BAFTA has since suspended his membership and his awards.“Times Up U.K. is live and alert to the types of behaviors and alleged serious misconduct raised in The Guardian regarding Noel Clarke, behaviors which have for so long gone unchecked, behaviors which have preyed on young talent especially when they are at their most vulnerable,” the organization stated.
“It is this type of predatory behaviour, so prevalent in the industry, which has led Times Up U.K. together with our industry partners, to develop a set of safety guidelines to help people working in entertainment understand that they have rights, they have rights in auditions, they have rights when filming intimate scenes, and they have a right to report sexual harassment and misconduct, free from prejudice and fear.
Alongside Coel, other actors like “Skins” star Kaya Scodelario also didn’t hold back in responding to the allegations, and taking particular issue with the naked auditions that allegedly took place on Clarke’s productions. “I had a audition for a job a few years ago,” tweeted “Skins” actor Kaya Scodelario. “It said ‘she just needs to come in. Take her clothes off and that’s all’. I was terrified. Luckily I have an agent who swiftly said there was no way that was going to happen. This was a big movie. A big director. A big ‘opportunity.’”
