ITV is pulling the finale episode of “Viewpoint” after multiple sexual misconduct accusations against star Noel Clarke were published by The Guardian. Well, it’s pulling the finale from the airwaves, at least.
“ITV has a zero tolerance policy to bullying, harassment and victimisation and robust procedures in place to investigate and deal with any complaints,” the British broadcaster said in a statement on Friday. “We strongly believe that everyone deserves to work in a supportive and safe environment.”

Clarke said in a statement to the PA news agency: I vehemently deny any sexual misconduct or criminal wrongdoing. Recent reports however have made it clear to me that some of my actions have affected people in ways I did not intend or realise. To those individuals, I am deeply sorry. I will be seeking professional help to educate myself and change for the better.
Earlier on Friday, ITV pulled the concluding episode of drama
Viewpoint from schedules after allegations of misconduct against star Clarke.
The actor is currently starring in the thriller as DC Martin Young, a surveillance detective who sets up his observation post in the home of a single mother.
Coel wrote on Twitter: “I am here to offer great support for the 20 brave women who have come forward; those who have shared their identities with us, but also those who have preferred to use an alias; the mental hurdles a black woman must overcome to do such a thing as reveal their identity within a narrative of rape abuse or bullying at the hands of someone within our own community can sometimes be too much.
“Speaking out about these incidents takes a lot of strength because some call them ‘grey areas’.
“They are however far from grey.
“These behaviours are unprofessional, violent and can destroy a person’s perception of themselves, their place in the world and their career irreparably.
