One of Green’s alleged victims explains why she remains too frightened to tell her story

I would like nothing more than to speak freely about what Philip Green did to me, but I can’t tell you what happened. I was paid for my silence and I have kept it, not just because of the NDA that I was forced to sign, but because of the fear.

Even after he was exposed four months ago, even after a brave few came forward to tell their stories, the terror of being pursued is still enough to confine me to silence.

You see, Philip Green is like a General hiding behind an entire army. His armour is made of wealth, power, and influence. It’s how men like him get away with behaviour which is unacceptable in normal society.

Their sphere of influence extends far and wide. Those who have stood up to these people can be left feeling utterly victimised and helpless. They try to make you feel alone and isolated, hoping that you will back down and disappear.
