Kerri-Anne Kennerley describes the shocking moment a TV boss opened her dress at a Christmas party – and reveals how she was treated with “chauvinism and harassment” throughout her career

Kerri-Anne Kennerley described the shocking moment a TV presenter unzipped her dress at a well-attended party.

The TV veteran shared the horrifying story on Tuesday’s episode of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” Australia, but did not name the leader of the offending network or the broadcaster for whom she worked at the time.

“It was a Christmas party before our show and while I was standing there, the zipper on the back of my dress came undone,” the 66-year-old told the camera in one piece.

So when I turned around to basically tell that person to stop and cover, I realized it was the station owner. And I said zip or I’ll cover you.’

Kerri-Anne previously spoke to her roommate Peter Helliar about the “Boys’ Club” on TV.

“Jauvinism, harassment, horrible behavior,” she said of some of the men she has dealt with in her career.

“Counselors and producers beat up the younger girls there. You know, somebody hits you and you just draw the line in the sand and everybody goes back to work, that’s just the way it was.

She continued, “The women were all researchers, producers, and the guys checked yeah, yeah, and then went to lunch for four hours.

And the show came together because most of the women did all the work. After all, you just want to make good television.

“It’s always been about getting a job, keeping it as long as possible, doing your best and when it’s over getting another one. You just keep going, you keep popping up.”
