One viewer thought it would be funny to congratulate a journalist on her pregnancy who most likely wasn’t pregnant. He decided to let her know that he didn’t like his body. The woman’s honest and simple answer will certainly prevent similar ideas from “funny” viewers and Internet users.
“No, I’m not pregnant”
Canadian Global News Morning Calgary reporter Leslie Horton received a malicious message from a viewer. It concerned the woman’s appearance and she stated that she did not intend to tolerate such outrageous behavior. Leslie stopped the message and said, “Thank you for your message. No, I’m not pregnant. In fact, I lost my uterus to cancer last year. And that’s what a woman my age looks like. If that’s offensive to you, that’s a very unfortunate situation.” “- she said on air.
The recording was published on Instagram by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, known for her high personal culture and refusal to accept the harm and injustice of others. There were many comments under the recording from Internet users outraged by the message sent to the journalist by the viewer. They wrote: “Such comments about appearance are a blow below the belt from the simplest minds”; “The person who sent this email must be someone with a dark soul”; “But her body is fine. Her body is completely fine. It’s sad that anyone would even say that”; “Great answer. It’s amazing.”
Anonymity doesn’t justify it
Many people, taking advantage of the anonymity on the Internet, decide to express their opinions, which they would never do in real life. Hiding behind a computer or smartphone monitor gives them self-confidence and in many cases guarantees the ability to avoid confrontation with others. As a result, they publish offensive, unfair or unpleasant statements, feeling unpunished. This is due to the lack of personal and moral culture and the certainty of lack of consequences. The above recording is proof that even in such “comfortable” conditions, it is worth considering whether what we want to write should really be written. Sometimes it’s better to think twice before posting something that we think is relevant, important or funny, because it may not be.
