Fiona Bruce to step back as Refuge charity ambassador over claims she trivialised domestic violence on BBC's Question Time
Fiona Bruce is stepping back from her role as a Refuge charity ambassador following claims she trivialised domestic violence on Thursday's edition of BBC's Question Time .
“Stanley Johnson has not commented publicly on that. Friends of his have said it did happen but it was a one-off.”In a statement released on Monday , Ms Bruce said she was a “passionate advocate” for survivors of domestic abuse and said she had been subject to a “social media storm” which “mischaracterised” her words. She said: “It is with real sadness that I have decided to step back from my role as an ambassador for the domestic abuse charity Refuge.
“I know survivors of domestic abuse have been distressed by what I was required to say on-air. For that, I am deeply sorry. I cannot change what I was required to say, but I can apologise for the very real impact that I can see it has had.”
