More than likely Jeremy was NOT the boss....he was the talent.
He may have had an interest in the program but IIRC he sold even that to BBC.
Do we know how many times things like this happened?
Could it be the BBC was instigating situations to provoke Jeremy?
I don’t know and neither do you.
A talent I produced for was supposed to be in a parade. Every other talent was provided a golf cart type ride.
Mine wasn’t.
At age 72 he had to walk the entire route.
Mad as hell.
Since I wasn’t arranging the ride I didn’t take his heat but the ones who had set things up did and rightly so.
It was all on the orders of management.
“I don’t know and neither do you.”
I don’t have to know who is the boss. That is a non sequitur to even bring that up.
No one has the right to assault another over a business disagreement of any kind. Period.
All he blah, blah, blah about who owns what or who is the boss means nothing.
