WATCH: Laurence Fox Releases Emotional Video Apology Following GB News Suspension
Politician and actor Laurence Fox has posted a new video addressing being suspended from his role as a presenter on GB News over comments he made in reference to a far-left radical feminist.
In a clip that has already been viewed over ten million times, Fox appeared on Dan Wootton’s show to discuss a vile tweet by a self-described political commentator and journalist Ava Evans.
Evans had been widely condemned for appearing to dismiss the need for a government minister to address men’s mental health and suicide – an issue that claims thousands of lives every year. Evans also previously said she wants men to be ‘afraid’ and ‘live in fear’ of accusations made by women, regardless of whether or not those accusations are true.
The two attention-seeking shock jocks have previously clashed on social media, yet yesterday evening, Fox took things one step further by slamming the relatively unknown Evans with a flurry of sexist remarks.
Fox told Wootton: ‘We’re past the watershed so I can say this: show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman, ever, ever, who wasn’t an Incel?
‘That little woman has been fed, spoon-fed oppression day after day after day… starting with the lie of the gender wage gap, and she’s sat there and I’m going, if I met you in a bar and that was like sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge.
‘We need powerful strong amazing women who make great points for themselves, we don’t need these sort of feminist 4.0… they’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who would want to sh*g that?’
Laurence Fox posted a lengthy response to his suspension on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Wootton replied: ‘Well, look, she, I’m just going to provide a touch of balance from her because she did actually respond to this earlier today, saying that she regretted her comments but she didn’t apologise.’
Wootton added: ‘And she’s a very beautiful woman, Laurence, very beautiful woman.’
In a statement posted to X, GB News said: ‘GB News has formally suspended Laurence Fox while we continue our investigation into comments he made on the channel last night.
‘Mr Fox’s suspension is effective immediately and he has been taken off air. We will be apologising formally to Ms Evans today.’
GB News later suspended presenter Dan Wootton, triggering MailOnline, in which Wootton had his own column, to fire him (you can read the full story about his sacking here).
Laurence Fox has since taken to Twitter to accuse GB News of failing to defend free speech, and posting his latest response which can be watched in full below.
