Following “bullying” complaints, BBC bosses are said to be reviewing Nag Munchetty, who works on BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 5 Live.
BBC presenter Naga Munchetty has reportedly been placed under review by BBC bosses after they received a number of complaints about alleged ‘hard’ and ‘bullying’ behaviour. Naga, 50, has been a regular face on breakfast television and has hosted the BBC Breakfast since 2014.
In addition, she hosts a Monday-to- Wednesday show on BBC Radio 5 Live. However, sources claimed that a number of coworkers complained about her “bullying” on both programs, with some claiming that the BBC has now moved to “place the complaints under review”
Naga’s representatives and the BBC have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.

The insider told The Sun that the review will determine whether a thorough investigation is necessary, which could take several weeks.
We take all complaints about conduct at work very seriously and won’t tolerate behavior that is against our values, according to a BBC spokesperson. We have effective procedures in place, and we encourage all employees to report concerns to us in order to get their issues resolved.
The presenter may decide to leave her presenting positions at the publicly traded company following our previously reported reports.
According to reports, the TV star’s agents “had discussions” with the news radio station recently and that she had been looking for a new job and might be moving to a rival radio station LBC.
Despite being paid twice as much as her co-host Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast, reports claimed that she is “encouraging to leave” as a result of rumors of a new bullying row circulating the early-morning program.
After industry insiders complained about his conduct, it was reported that BBC Breakfast editor Richard Frediani, who has been editing the program since 2019, was taking an “extended leave” from the program last month.
The editor of the breakfast program allegedly swears and shouts at coworkers while governing the program. According to a source, Richard needed time to reflect because of the “doubtant” allegations.
Reports surfaced that Richard and Naga didn’t get along, and many staff members later defended Richard. Additionally, it is claimed that Charlie, Naga’s co-host, and Frediani also had a strained relationship.
Speaking in defence of Richard, one insider told the Mirror last month: “He is not a bully at all and the truth will come out. He’s a great boss and was – and is still – overwhelmingly loved by the team, who respect his drive, expertise, and journalistic ambition. He has delivered great audiences and the first ever Bafta for breakfast TV.
He can be opinionated and brash, but he works so hard for his team and encourages people to flourish.
Some people were unhappy with Naga after she raised concerns, according to another source who spoke to the Mirror. They stated that although he is old-fashioned and susceptible to stifling criticism, it always goes against the grain for great television.
It’s not meant to be a walk in the park because it’s the country’s top-rated breakfast program. Some people, including Naga, need to comprehend this. It seems as though a brilliant journalist has been turfed out by presenter power.
