Former 'Q' producer Kathryn Borel adds name to workplace allegations against Jian Ghomeshi

For weeks she's been identified only as a "former CBC employee." Now, she has a name. Kathryn Borel used to be a producer on the CBC Radio program "Q", hosted -- at the time -- by Jian Ghomeshi.

She alleges that she was a victim of sexual harassment, and was groped by Jian Ghomeshi.
She also claims she took concerns about the host to her union, and later met with the show's executive producer. She challenges both the union and "Q"'s former executive producer --who say the issue of sexual harassment was never brought to their attention.
 
Warning: the content of this interview is disturbing; and some of the language used may be offensive.
 
We did contact former "Q" producer Arif Noorani, but we did not receive a response. He has written that,"At no time was I approached with such allegations from this producer or anyone else."

We also requested comment from the CBC. In a statement, Chuck Thompson, Head of CBC Public Affairs, wrote, "The issues raised by Kathryn Borel are subject to the third party review and in order to ensure Ms. Rubin's investigation is not compromised in any way, it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further.​"

The union, the Canadian Media Guild, released a statement saying that sexual harassment is "now a priority."
