Public statement by Kit Power and Christine Kelley - Sam Maleski and 'Of Human Bondage'

 Co-hosts Christine Kelley and Kit Power have recently been made aware of multiple allegations of sexual harassment and emotionally abusive behaviour against 'Of Human Bondage' co-host Sam Maleski.

We believe victims. We are devastated to think that we may have inadvertently caused further harm to those victims. Going forward, Sam Maleski will no longer be a part of 'Of Human Bondage'.

We reaffirm our commitment to ensuring, as much as is in our power to do so, that our community is free from predatory behaviour. We thank the victims for their bravery in coming forward.
