An Oscar-winning executive producer claims she received a £400,000 payout from the BBC after alleging she faced antisemitic remarks from colleagues at the corporation.

Lucie Kon, who worked as a commissioning editor overseeing several documentaries, including Mr Nobody Against Putin, told The Telegraph, external that BBC colleagues said Zionists like her were "evil" following the 7 October attacks.

Kon's post was made redundant as part of a BBC restructure. She says the payment she received was for redundancy back pay and settlement for personal injury caused by the process.
