Laurence Fox\u00a0<\/strong>has sparked outrage after making vile comments about a female journalist on GB News.<\/p>\n The broadcaster is investigating the \u2018totally unacceptable\u2019 comments made by the 45-year-old, who was formerly an actor before being dropped by his agent over comments about racism.<\/p>\n During the awful rant, made on Dan Wootton\u2019s Tonight show on Tuesday (September 26), Fox described Joe political correspondent Ava Evans as a \u2018little woman\u2019 and added: \u2018Who would want to shag that?\u2019<\/p>\n Evans shared a clip of the comments on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption: \u2018Laurence Fox just did a whole speech on GB News on why men apparently won\u2019t shag me?\u2019 which has been viewed more than five million times as of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n In a follow-up tweet to her nearly 100 000 followers she added that the footage made her feel \u2018physically sick.\u2019<\/p>\n Fox\u2019s vile rant can be read in full below.<\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019re past the watershed so I can say this: show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman, ever, ever, who wasn\u2019t an Incel?<\/p>\n \u2018That little woman has been fed, spoon-fed oppression day after day after day\u2026 starting with the lie of the gender wage gap, and she\u2019s sat there and I\u2019m going, if I met you in a bar and that was like sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge.<\/p>\n \u2018We need powerful strong amazing women who make great points for themselves, we don\u2019t need these sort of feminist 4.0\u2026 they\u2019re pathetic and embarrassing. Who would want to shag that?\u2019<\/p>\n In response to Fox\u2019s ugly comments, Wootton, laughing, said: \u2018Well, look, she, I\u2019m just going to provide a touch of balance from her because she did actually respond to this earlier today, saying that she regretted her comments but she didn\u2019t apologise.\u2019<\/p>\n He added: \u2018And she\u2019s a very beautiful woman, Laurence, very beautiful woman.\u2019<\/p>\n The discussion came after Evans appeared on BBC\u2019s Politics Live on Monday about male mental health.<\/p>\n In a statement posted to X, GB News said: \u2018Comments made tonight on GB News by Laurence Fox were totally unacceptable.<\/p>\n \u2018What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused.<\/p>\n \u2018We have launched an investigation and will be apologising to the individual involved.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018We seek to tackle the issue and not the person, which I intend to stress again on air tonight.\u2019<\/p>\n In an earlier message, he had said: \u2018I apologise for what was said during the course of my show and should have done this immediately on air. This is not what our channel is about.\u2019<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<\/i>Laurence Fox’s vile rant<\/h2>\n
