Hosts apologize for 'fat-shaming' Kelly Clarkson
On Friday's The Mike Gallagher Show, Fox anchor Chris Wallace and host Mike Gallagher made some not-so-nice comments about Kelly Clarkson's weight. Well, the guys are saying they're sorry now. Wallace said this in a statement:
"I sincerely apologize to Kelly Clarkson for my offensive comment. I admire her remarkable talent and that should have been the focus of any discussion about her."
And Gallagher wrote an apology online:
"Tubby Mike is the last person in the world who should bring up anyone's weight. I couldn't possibly feel any worse than I do for making an observation that led to the conclusion that I 'fat-shamed' this talented and classy entertainer. It was a really stupid thing for me to do."
In the radio interview that got them in trouble, Gallagher said, "Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? … Holy cow, did she blow up."
Wallace replied that Clarkson has "a lovely voice," but then added, "She could stay off the deep-dish pizza for a little while."
Meanwhile, classy Clarkson didn't seem to care about the comments. She's focused on playing board games with her family:
