Sir Tom Jones has spoke out about his experience with harassment and abuse in the music industry when he first started out.
The Voice coach brought light to the abuse in the music industry, after the subject was opened with the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations.
When asked in an interview with the BBC, the singer said, “Things have always happened in the music industry as well.”
“There’s been people complaining about publicists and different things they’ve been expected to do to get a record contract, just like a film contract.
“It wasn’t bad, just somebody tried to pull… it was a question and I said ‘No thank you.’” when asked for more details about his “terrible” experience.
“There were a few things like that. But you avoid it. You just walk out… But what’s tried on women is tried on men as well,” the Delilah singer said when he spoke to BBC’s Radio 5 Live’s Afternoon Edition.
“Things come out that maybe should’ve come out years ago, who knows. But that’s the way it is with showbusiness, you are in the public eye, and that’s it, you have to take the good with the bad.”
