Nairobi Diaries Glam Pam’s deep cleavage lands Larry Madowo and other BBC bosses in trouble

Senior BBC editors are currently getting a lot of heat from the public after blurring the cleavage of a Kenyan socialite who appeared on a recent documentary shot in Nairobi.

Just like the first documentary from the media house that attracted numerous complaints from Kenyans after socialite Bridget Achieng accused the media house of portraying her as a prostitute, this one also had controversies of it’s own.

The Guardian on Sunday reported that senior staff at the British media house were divided on the decision to censor socialite Glamour Pam’s cleavage in the documentary dubbed  Fake Me: Living for Likes.

“The decision to deal with Pam’s cleavage was made at senior editorial level at BBC Africa,” the Guardian reported.

Statement

BBC’s spokesman later explained that the blurring was done to comply with some of the strict watershed regulations in some African countries.

“#thesheword is broadcast via a number of BBC partner stations in Africa which are subject to watershed rules similar to the UK’s. As the majority of our partner stations show the programme pre-watershed, we ensured the film was suitable for broadcast in those markets.” he said.
