Richard Scudamore's Indian origin personal assistant has reportedly revealed why she blew the whistle on the Premier League boss' sexist emails.

Former law student Rani Abraham said that she had been humiliated, belittled and disgusted by the messages between the Premier League Chief Executive and his business associates.

According to the Mirror, Abraham said that she had a duty to speak out about the sexist emails because if she did not then she would have somehow been condoning Scudamore's behaviour.

The shared emails between Scudamore and his business associates reportedly contained jokes about 'gash', 'big t****d broads' and 'female irrationality' and Abraham felt that she ha no choice but to expose these sexist emails at the very top of English football.

Abraham, who has 14 years of experience as a personal assistant, said that it would have been easier for her to just try to forget about those emails but she could not, adding that Sudamore has a huge amount of influence and is paid a vast sum of money and has behaved wrongly.

The Indian origin personal assistant further added that despite what some people have said since the story first came out last week, this is not the sort of thing that goes on in offices these days.

Abraham said that she has been tagged as a liar and a sneak for rifling through Scud more's emails, but she added that it was her job because the mails were not from his personal email but from his Premier League address and they cannot be private if she had to access them.

Abraham also said that she has been brought up in a family where women were treated with respect and her mother taught her that women should be treated equally.
