Naga Munchetty: Disagreement Dwindles Amid BBC Probe

has said 'people don't know how to disagree with each other anymore and you're either with me or you're not' amid the 's bullying probe.

The presenter, 51, faces an uncertain future at the broadcaster after they reportedly instigated a formal investigation following accusations of bullying against her.

In August, TV sources claimed several colleagues had logged concerns over her 'hard' behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as on her Radio 5 Live show. It was then reported in November, the broadcaster launched a formal investigation. 

In a new interview, Naga spoke of people now forming their own opinions on her as well as being subject to terrible racist abuse from trolls on social media. 

Naga told The Times: 'People are deciding: you're either with me or you're not. It feels like we're unlearning how to disagree agreeably with each other. That's frightening. The way we're interacting with other people feels so tense.' 

Naga went on to say how she has been forced to block social media users after being subjected to a barrage of online hate. 

She said: 'I block a lot of people. Someone commented on my Instagram post about giving blood saying, "Do they accept Indian blood?" If it looks like a message is going to be abusive, I don't read it. If it's some fool shouting into the ether, let them. It's not my job to change their views.' 

The interview comes after the presenter was accused of making a sly dig at BBC Breakfast's weather host Carol Kirkwood on her last day on air. 

The newsreader, 51, has been criticised for a seemingly brutal parting shot at Carol, 63, during her final appearance.

After playing some of her on-screen highlights, Naga joked: 'I am just waiting for the countdown for you to go.' Ouch!

The Daily Mail reported it is not the first time she has landed herself in hot water with on-air digs at colleagues.

 In November, it was reported bosses had decided to escalate the complaints made in August and launch a formal investigation after further complaints were made. 

The presenter, who is paid between £355,000 and £359,999 a year, is said to be allowed to stay on at the broadcaster, but that she will only work with certain producers while the probe takes place. 

A source told The Sun: 'Naga has not been taken off air but now has certain members of production monitoring her and her interactions.

'She's only allowed to speak to specific people too. It's far from ideal as a way of working and everyone hopes it comes to a head someway or another soon.' 

Daily Mail has contacted Naga's representatives for comment at the time. A BBC spokesperson said: 'We do not comment on individual HR matters.' 

Naga's own conduct was thrown into doubt when BBC Breakfast's editor Richard Frediani reportedly after an internal review of bullying and misconduct allegations was opened into the show.

Naga was reportedly spoken to by executives after a junior staffer accused the journalist of bullying them.

She was also reportedly hauled into a meeting after she made a sex jibe during an ad break while hosting her radio show.

The presenter is believed to have used a crude slang term for a sex act and reportedly asked a colleague if they had ever done it. 

Naga's co-host Charlie Stayt also 

Naga is no longer represented by agents M&C Saatchi, who also dropped BBC One Show host Jermaine Jenas after his sexting scandal. 

Her new agents have reportedly 'held talks with rival station LBC' to explore other opportunities. 

The journalist is paid almost double of her co-host Charlie, 63, remained in the £190,000 bracket and tensions between the pair are said to be 'rife'.

Naga hosts BBC Breakfast on Thursdays to Saturdays with Charlie, while Jon Kay and Sally Nugent anchor the programme from the start of the week.
