What a prick! Right now, they are in the middle of deciding whether or not they want him at all. Women make the decisions here. They were pretty pissed. Could be that it's not happening.

They asked the management if it would be okay if the woman wore a hijab. The management said they don't feel comfortable asking, because he was "easily annoyed".

Get it in writing from his people that he won't be interviewed by/talk to women. Then run a piece saying that you had hoped to be able to bring everyone an interview with him but can't because of the reasons his management gave, then run an interview with a worthwhile and successful female instead.

Wow, that makes this extremely dodgy:

Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens Wins Libel Damages Over Sexist Allegations

The article in question:

Yusuf Islam Ignores Bare-headed Women

The article isn't even slanderous, it's just describing what these women say occurred. So it seems his libel case must have been based on the idea the women lied. But their story is so much like yours, I don't doubt it's completely true. Does this mean he may have perjured himself?

[Chilly Willy]

^^ Whoa, I hadn't heard about that before. Isn't that a funny coincidence?

Why would he slap them with a lawsuit if even his management says that he won't talk to women? Of course, they made sure not to put that in writing.

The interview took place, by the way. A guy did it. A camera woman was present and he refused to greet her.

Everyone agreed that he was extremely boring.

[JaneSoda]

What a jerk. I can't believe he just blatantly does the same thing after claiming that story was outrageous. I'd say you and your colleagues should leak this, except that the media probably wouldn't touch it this time.

And yeah, I really don't get how they won the lawsuit with the manager being quoted 'n' all.

[Dallas_Munro]

So... Cat Stevens is a douche?

[Chilly Willy]

We agreed on MAJOR douche.

[Dallas_Munro]

I hope I get to "meet" him one day. If so, I'mma yell "Cat Stevens! What's up, dawg?" and then I'mma give him a big ole hug. HAH!

[LaFolie]

^You want a fatwa on you?

[Dallas_Munro]

^^ I just like to poke fun and make uptight douchebags uncomfortable. 'though I suspect "uptight" ain't exactly the right word for Cat Stevens.

But neither her sister nor her friend have to ask her husband anything...just keep their ears open for any tidbit the friend might "overhear." Not cheating! It's good gossip, even when it's the truth! Well, I'd say sometimes, especially the truth!
