Journalist Martin Bashir, who conducted the infamous interview of Princess Diana, defends himself by saying he did nothing wrong or deceitful to get her to do the interview.
However, an independent report begs to differ.
Bashir broke his silence about the scandal for the first time to the Sunday Times. He denied any nefarious behavior that he and the BBC have been accused of surrounding the 1995 interview with the Princess.
In fact, he says Princess Diana agreed to talk to him on camera about her relationship with Prince Charles, TMZ reported.
He also denies the allegations that he was involved in coming up with fake documents and/or bogus phone calls made to Diana.
“Even in the early 1990s, there were stories and secretly recorded phone calls. I wasn’t the source of any of that,” he added.
He also claims that the idea the interview was something the Princess didn’t want or was framed into doing was simply not the case, regardless of what people are saying.
“Everything we did in terms of the interview was as she wanted, from when she wanted to alert the palace, to when it was broadcast, to its contents,” while adding that he and his family loved the Princess, and they remained close after the interview was released.
“I don’t feel I can be held responsible for many of the other things that were going on in her life, and the complex issues surrounding those decisions.”
He also doesn’t think it’s fair or reasonable that Diana’s brother blamed him for her death.
A report surfaced affirming the BBC had undertaken deceptive methods against the Princess, which helped play on her fear and paranoia at the time.
