BLACK ACTRESS USED FOR ‘BAD GIRL’ ROLE-PLAY

A BLACK actress was hired to demonstrate Eni Aluko’s ‘bad behaviour’ as the England women’s team had lessons in ‘Lioness standards’ last year, it was claimed yesterday. Aluko alleged management firm Lane 4, run by 1988 Olympic swimming gold medallist Adrian Moorhouse, paid actors to perform role plays showing her ‘negative influence’. The Chelsea striker said this was ‘further evidence of bullying’ and made some England players ‘feel uncomfortable’. In her written evidence submitted to the parliamentary select committee, Aluko added: ‘I am concerned that current England players have been encouraged and influenced to believe that I was a negative influence on the team. ‘I understand that Lane 4 hired a group of actors some time last year after I was dropped from the England team, the purpose of which was ostensibly to role-play “Lioness standards”. ‘One of the actresses was a black woman and the pre-planned first role-play of the exercise involved this actress acting out bad behaviour and a selfish attitude.’
