Krishnendu Majumdar is said to have teamed up with the Viewpoint star to help increase diversity in the Bafta awards last year. It has since been claimed that Bafta was made aware of sexual harassment claims against Clarke prior to handing him an award for outstanding British contribution to cinema. Bafta denies knowing about the claims against Clarke prior to the announcement of the award in March. Clarke has said he is 'deeply sorry' for his actions but strongly denies sexual misconduct or any criminal wrongdoing. Ms James, who co-starred in Brotherhood with Clarke, claims the actor secretly filmed her while she did a naked audition.
