Excellent piece by Alexis Petridis in today's Guardian. Read the comments too, lots of them are spot on!
Kerry Katona: traumatised by Jimmy Savile looking at her 'in a pervy way'
The disgraced DJ 'had that look about him', the former Atomic Kitten recalls of her very brief encounter
That sound you can hear is Lost in Showbiz stuffing its fist in its mouth, in an ill-fated attempt to stifle the involuntary yell of traumatised incredulity. It feels impelled to repeat the allegation so that readers may understand the whole new fathom of perversion they reveal: to further compound his other crimes, Savile once looked at Atomic Kitten in a "funny" way.
"I've always thought he was a pervert, he had that look about him," concludes Katona, firmly: possession of "that look" being very much the international standard in judging whether someone is a rancid sex criminal or not. While it applauds Katona's bravery in coming forward and laying bare her ordeal, it wonders aloud why she didn't immediately contact the relevant authorities at the time. Perhaps, despite her cast-iron evidence - not merely looking at her in a "pervy" way, but "having that look about him" - she feared she would be met with a wall of silence and disbelief. We should be thankful she now feels emboldened to tell her story.
