However, no reaction has been seen from Harry Styles' side yet.

Earlier, the TV star was in the news for claiming that she was sexually assaulted by a gang of men in Pakistan while filming a BBC documentary in 2007.

She talked about it on Loose Women, saying she was surrounded by men who groped and pressed up against her as she tried to shoot the documentary, and she was eventually rescued by a member of her crew.

Malik Saab | 8 years ago | Reply She is the same woman who broke the news that she was sexually harassed in Pakistan somedays ago. Everyday she indulge herself in new controversy. Most of the time it is the Bashing of Pakistan. Unfortunately I have nothing against her, But this woman is trying hard to be in the lime-light and nothing else.
