S4 E8 Suzi Dent On Being Sexually Assaulted by Rolf Harris, Being a Witness in Operation Yewtree and #MeToo

February 23, 2022 • Culturally Speaking • Season 4 • Episode 8

Suzi is an Australian hair and makeup artist who has worked in film and TV for 37 years. When working as a makeup artist in Australian TV she was groped by TV personality and Australian entertainer Rolf Harris. Despite being in a studio of other men who witnessed this no one called Harris out on his behavior, which Suzi would later learn was an open secret in the industry. Her experience led to her being a key bad character witness in Operation Yewtree, the case against Harris who was exposed as a serial sex offender. Harris was convicted on 12 counts of indecent assault. Suzi shared how the culture of the 80s enabled the abuse of women, why she wanted to come forward and her thoughts on #metoo movement.
