THE employers of a research scientist who unmasked herself as a call girl-turned-popular author are standing by her, saying that her past had nothing to do with her present job. A fter much digging by journalists and fans it emerged that 'Belle de Jour' is Brooke Magnanti, a petite, blonde thirty-something who works as a specialist in developmental neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology in a hospital research group in Bristol, south west England.
A month ago she revealed her secret to her colleagues at the Bristol Initiative for Research of Child Health, who were "amazingly kind and supportive". Dr Magnanti, who is based at St Michael's Hospital in Bristol and employed by the University of Bristol, unmasked herself as the literary world's best-kept secret after admitting in her online blog that she felt "worse" about her writing than about her life as a prostitute. Barry Taylor, a university spokesman, said: "This aspect of her past bears no relevance to her role at the university.
Dr Magnanti was a PhD student working on her thesis at Sheffield University when she decided that prostitution would be a quick, easy and relatively painless way to earn some cash.
For 14 months from October she recorded her sexual encounters in her online blog with a frankness, humour and style that won her many admirers and led to a six-figure book deal. Dr Magnanti said it was a relief to emerge from the shadows of anonymity that had meant that she could not even go to her own book launch. Ms Magnanti wrote: "It feels so much better on this side. Not to have to tell lies, hide things from the people I care about -- to be able to defend what my experience of sex work is like to all the sceptics and doubters.
She said she took advantage of the opportunity presented by a "perfect storm of feelings and circumstances". She is believed to have decided to out herself after reporters from a UK newspaper turned up at the hospital she works at. Realising that the game was up she approached the 'Sunday Times' and gave an interview to India Knight, who had previously suggested her book was fiction and written by a man.
