Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has faced scrutiny over his claim that he immediately apologised for offering hypnosis to increase breast size, after a 2013 BBC interview emerged where he stood by the claim.
In 2013, before entering politics, Polanski was approached by a Sun journalist for a hypnotherapy session intended to increase her breast size, which was later written up as an article. Polanski has repeatedly apologised for the episode, stating it was his responsibility for agreeing and that the work was more about improving body image.
However, a BBC Humberside interview conducted six days after the Sun article shows Polanski discussing “a successful project” and stating that “there is starting to be anecdotal evidence at least of a growth in breast size.” He also said he believed “it can happen in theory.”
A Labour source criticised Polanski, saying his “pretence to have been misrepresented over his breast enlargement hypnosis scam was absolute nonsense.” A Green party source reiterated that Polanski has apologised and is now focused on key issues like bills, the NHS, and public services.
