Ampika Pickston, 44, partner of West Ham owner David Sullivan, posts a cryptic message after a BBC Panorama investigation reported allegations against him. Pickston criticises what she calls media “sensationalism,” responding to the broadcast’s claims that Sullivan sexually assaulted multiple women, including allegations that involve victims who were teenagers. The Panorama report, according to accounts of the story, describes accusations spanning back decades, including events said to date to the 1980s. In her response, Pickston does not provide new case details in the available report, but instead focuses on the framing of the coverage. The claims referenced in the Panorama programme relate to accusations that Sullivan “preyed on” teenage girls for sex and forced himself on women. The outlets summarising the story present Pickston’s post as a rebuttal of the way allegations are portrayed publicly, while the core factual element remains the existence of the allegations described in the BBC’s investigation.
