The political journalist said explaining to her parents has been the toughest part of the fallout from GB News programme | ITV National News
Ava Evans has described the on-air comments made about her by Laurence Fox on GB News as “unforgivable”.
Ms Evans, who works for the website Politics JOE, told the Daily Mail: “It would have been horrible for a woman to hear she was being discussed in those terms in the pub.“I’m not naive. I know that men talk like that about women. But this was on national TV. It was demeaning. It was dehumanising. Ms Evans told the Daily Mail she fears for her safety after the messages and threats she has received.
“I felt it showed contempt, really. By not saying anything, does he agree that it was OK to sexualise me? He issued a personal apology to Ms Evans, saying: “They did not reflect what we believe is appropriate conversation as a media company, as a part of the national conversation, it really is an apology, it was just really inappropriate.”
