Former England and Tottenham footballer Jermaine Jenas addresses his dismissal from BBC over allegations of unsolicited text messages to a female colleague

Former Tottenham footballer, Jermaine Jenas has reacted to his dismissal from the BBC.


The former midfielder was dismissed from his role with Match of The Day and The One Show by the BBC due to allegations of unsolicited text messages being sent to a female member of staff on The One Show.

 

Speaking to talkSPORT news on Thursday, August 22, Jenas said: "I can’t really talk about it.


“I, as you can probably see, am not happy about it.


"But currently as it stands I'm going to have to let the lawyers deal with it.


"You know, there's two sides to every story as we know."So that's all I can say right now."


Asked about the allegation itself, Jenas said: “Like I said, I’m not happy about this situation.


“I’m going to be speaking to my lawyers about it is all I can say right now.”

Pressed on whether he could elaborate on what the complaints relate to, whether the complaints involved one person or more, or if he was surprised by the allegations, Jenas stated he was unable to answer currently.

 

“Like I said, I’m going to speak to my lawyers about this situation,” he said. “I definitely, as you can see by my reaction, I’m not happy at all about the outcome of this.

 

“But I’ve got to leave it in the hands of the lawyers right now.”

 

“It’s hard, you know,” he continued. “There’s definitely two sides.”


Asked when he was told by the BBC that he was being sacked, when he knew a complaint had been made, if legal proceedings were underway, or if he owes anyone an apology right now, Jenas declined to comment, once again citing he would respond through his lawyers.

 

“I can’t talk about that right now. I’ve just got to leave this to my team of lawyers at the minute who are I suppose managing the situation,” he said

 

“This is tough, you know. But I have to listen to my lawyers.”


Quizzed on whether he sees any reason why he would not be able to continue in the sports presenting industry or in broadcasting, he said: “I can’t talk about that right now.”

 

 

Jenas earned 21 England caps during his career and played in the Premier League for Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
