Further, it found that she had been sexually harassed by the comments over the ear-piece and awarded her £3,250 in compensation for the injury to her feelings. The Employment Tribunal panel found that Ms Vernon had been verbally abused through her ear-piece and that she had been an employee of the company. This extract showed that Ms Vernon could be seen to laugh nervously, before she react angrily and flicked her middle finger at a person off-camera. Employment Judge Victoria Dean, who chaired the Employment Tribunal, was shown a 10-minute extract of the programme, which deals with antique copper and bronze items. The matter came to an Employment Tribunal hearing earlier this month at the Birmingham Employment Tribunal. Lawyers for the company insisted that she had only been freelance and had not been employed by the firm but Ms Vernon claimed that she had been employed, using as evidence the fact that she had been sent to India by the firm to handle gems as part of her training. Ms Vernon, who now works on Channel 5’s “Live with Gabby”, subsequently brought an Employment Tribunal claim against Genuine Gemstone Company, claiming that she had been unfairly dismissed, sexually harassed and victimised. However, viewers did witness the gesture and one complained, resulting in Ms Vernon’s dismissal for potentially bringing the channel into disrepute. Finally, she reacted by swearing at the offending cameramen live on air, although she apparently thought that the gesture was not able to be seen by viewers. She was called a “f***ing whore” and a “bitch” and, although she laughed these comments off at first, she became more and more offended. On the day in question, Ms Vernon was presenting the TV show live when a number of her camera crew colleagues started making remarks that she could hear through her ear-piece.
