Hypocrite

"After Liam Treadwell's Grand National victory on 4 April 2009, Balding interviewed him and made fun of his apparently bad teeth.[49] Balding later clarified on BBC's Have I Got News For You quiz that she believed Treadwell, who suffered from microdontia and hypodontia, to have had his teeth "kicked out" by a horse, a common injury suffered by jockeys, apologising again for her error."

"In July 2010, Balding made a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission over an article by writer A. A. Gill in The Sunday Times that she felt had mocked her sexuality and appearance[45] and for which the newspaper refused to apologise.[46]"

Wow, so she made fun of someone, apologized when she realized she was in the wrong, then later complained when she was made fun of? What a non-story.

She did NOT apologize for making fun of his appearance, only for thinking his teeth had been knocked out by a horse. So just another entitled BBC hypocrite.

If the post hurts your feels, just move on.🙃

Seems like you were looking for any reason to hate her. And that's fine, but it's kind of pathetic that this is the best excuse you could come up with. Surely she's done something worse if she's so terrible?

Touched a nerve there, fanboy/girl? Getting your knickers in a twist over someone you've never even met. Talk about "pathetic"...

I did or do not hate her nor did I say that she was "terrible". I can't even say I had any specific opinion about her. I simply determined that she's a hypocrite after reading this information.

I'm sure she'd be happy to know she has one fan somewhere in the world after all. 🍆

That's the extreme self-indulgent hypocrisy of rainbow types.

I don't care about her sexual orientation, it's just the typical entitlement of media types.
