"Naga Munchetty is reportedly being formally investigated over allegations of bullying. It follows previous claims of bullying by the 50-year-old broadcaster on the programme, which have now been escalated to a full investigation, according to the Sun. A BBC spokesperson said: We do not comment on individual HR matters. Munchetty began her career at the corporation as a presenter on the business programme Working Lunch in 2008, before moving to BBC Breakfast in 2014. She also presents a mid-morning show on BBC Radio 5 Live."
"Munchetty earned between 355,000 and 359,999 in 2024-25, according to figures published in the BBC's annual report. An HR adviser from the consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers has been supporting the corporation as it looks into the culture of the BBC One show, which is based in Salford and airs every weekday morning. In September, it was reported that the editor of BBC Breakfast, Richard Frediani, had been cleared of bullying allegations after an investigation."
"Tim Davie, who resigned as director general last weekend, and the BBC board chair, Samir Shah, vowed in April to draw a line in the sand after an independent review of the corporation found some well-known names were not being held to account for poor behaviour. It found the corporation did not have a toxic workplace culture but said it must intervene earlier when allegations of inappropriate behaviour emerge."
