Ricky Gervais accused of bullying by co-star Robin Ince

British comedian Robin Ince, who previously toured with Ricky Gervais , has alleged the Hollywood star’s behaviour toward him was tantamount to “ bullying ”. Ince , best known for presenting his show The Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox, opened for Gervais in stand-up shows, including Fame , in the 2000s. However, in comments made in July, Ince claimed the time was not as enjoyable for him as it should have been.

“I look back now, and I think it is bullying, really it is,” Ince alleged during an appearance on The Starting Line podcast. ”I’m very good at sometimes just acclimatising to things, in which you go, ­'Actually, this is really weird’.” A post shared by Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais).
