Fboy Island scandal: What was TVNZ thinking?
A new reality show has been rocked by revelations regarding the previous behaviour of one of the contestants. The NZ Herald revealed that Wayde Moore took advantage of a teenager’s drunkenness to get her into bed.
He was still cast on the show and included in promotional material.
So how does a show like Fboy Island get commissioned in the first place? Are screening processes secure enough to protect participants? And should a public broadcaster even be running shows like this at all?
Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher for a discussion on how TVNZ could get it so wrong.
