Eden Blackman leaves an employment tribunal in London where former Celebs Go Dating co-host Nadia Essex is suing him for unfair dismissal and has compared to disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The pair are currently embroiled in a court case, with Nadia suing Eden and the Celebs Go Dating producers Lime Pictures for unfair dismissal from the show after she was let go in September 2018. She continued: ‘In September 2017 Mr Blackman boasted to me that a female contestant, a very, very young contestant on the show, had asked to have sex with him. It was gross and harassing.
Nadia added: ‘I think him bragging that he could have sex with someone from the show, knowing it’s against the rules, and we had a hostile environment was all a part of his manipulation and game.‘The appalling discovery of what other women claimed Mr Blackman had done to them resonated on and re-awoke past sexual experiences when I was younger.‘This led to those depressed emotions cascading through my mind and a mental collapse.
‘His voice was raised, he was red-faced and he was pointing his finger at me. He concluded “If you think that I am a bully now, just wait, I will f***ing destroy you”.’
