Calgary traffic reporter goes viral after response to body shaming comment
TV traffic reporter Leslie Horton has developed a thick skin over the years because of nasty feedback from viewers, but she unleashed a viral smackdown last week after she says one of them "crossed my line."
The usually unflappable host, who has been at Global Calgary since 1995, was about to give a live report on the morning show when she decided to read out a message she received during a break.
"I'm just gonna respond to an email that I just got saying, 'Congratulations on your pregnancy. If you're gonna wear old bus-driver pants, you have to expect emails like this,"' Horton said.
"So thanks for that," she responded. "No, I'm not pregnant. I actually lost my uterus to cancer last year. And this is what women of my age look like. So if it is offensive to you, that is unfortunate.
"Think about the emails that you send."
Nice dehumanizing language. You might not be the hero you think you are, just FYI
Thanks for thinking I'm trying to be a heroine. You're wrong ofc, but good try.
The world is going to devour you lmao. Good luck with high school!
I'm in my 60's.
Maybe you should stop guessing you know me cause you're not very good at it.
Maybe you never matured. Maybe you're regressing. Who knows.
It's high-school level dynamics, regardless
You're out here guessing things about ~half the population of earth lol
Then fucking act like it, child
Luckily people won't need to deal with your sexist views for much longer
