During a recent interview with documentarian Theroux, comedian Ryan, aged 40, discussed her experience working with a male comic whom she referred to as a “predator.” She refrained from disclosing his name due to legal concerns, but did mention that she had confronted him directly. Ryan spoke about the public response to the interview during an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
She shared that she received a lot of pushback from people who questioned why she wouldn’t reveal the comic’s identity. Ryan explained that she believed everyone already knew who he was, but what they really wanted were the names of the women involved. She emphasized that she would not divulge that information as investigators were already looking into it.
In the interview, Ryan reflected on the difficult choice she had to make. She had to decide whether to work with someone she believed to be a perpetrator of sexual assault or decline the job altogether. Ultimately, she chose to confront the alleged predator and make her feelings known, rather than simply tolerating his presence.
Ryan explained that she didn’t want to appear complicit in allowing this person to continue working in the industry. She acknowledged the internal struggle she faced and questioned whether she made the right decision. However, she felt that if she stayed home, nothing would change. She believed it was important to take a stand and not let the alleged predator believe that no one was aware of his actions.
While some reports speculated that Ryan was referring to her time on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle with Russell Brand in 2018, she has neither confirmed nor denied this. She also did not disclose the name of the show where she encountered the alleged predator. Brand himself has recently faced accusations of rape, assault, and emotional abuse, although he vehemently denies these claims and is currently under investigation.
Overall, Ryan’s decision to confront the alleged predator and her refusal to disclose names have sparked debates and discussions about accountability and the responsibility of witnesses in cases of sexual assault.
