DC Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 https://www.ign.com/articles/foxtel-ceo-apologizes-for-calling-game-of-thrones-star-emilia-clarke-a-short-dumpy-girl Before a House of the Dragon screening, TV exec Patrick Delany described Emilia Clarke as a “short, dumpy girl” while attempting to make a joke about his ignorance at the time of Game of Thrones. Naturally, fans were incensed. The Foxtel Group has since apologized on his behalf. Empire Of Sight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The apology is too little too late. He never should have said something like that. It's nothing but body shaming. She can't do anything about her height, but even if she is a little overweight (which I can't see at all) he has no right to call her "dumpy". This asshole needs to be fired and blacklisted.

Empire Of Sight Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Surprising considering she was everyones hot fantasy during the entire series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just for the sake of context this is the figure of the woman that this idiot described as "dumpy". I think he was trying make a sort of ironic kind of statement in the same way you might call a tall person "shorty" or something, but this was just stupid.

If this is short and dumpy the world would be a much prettier place XDDDD Crazycrab and The Blackangel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he hasn't said the worst statement ever made on the internet or the news so fans should be a bit easy on him and since he didn't in any way directly insult her person but made a rather sarcastic comments about her.

Heatman Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Patrick Delany is as dumb as they come. In his weird little mind, he looks perfect the way he's built right? It's the worst people that are always too quick to body shame others. If he's not the Chief Executive Officer of the Foxtel Group, I'd say he should lose his job over this vile statement.

Justin11 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Probably said all he said out of anger and this is why certain people should avoid it interviews because anytime they get in front of the camera they just loose composure and say whatever that comes to their mind.
