News bloopers happen each and every day but not usually of this kind of magnitude and certainly not by the esteemed BBC network. However, right in plain view a broadcaster for BBC had a “hands-on” and embarrassing TV moment where he got slapped after accidentally groping a woman who got in the live shot. In the middle of doing an interview Ben Brown was speaking with assistant political editor Norman Smith when a woman appeared in the live broadcast. It was a moment like any other on the news when someone wants to get a little airtime. But what happened next wasn’t a moment like any other at all.
Instead of politely asking the woman to move out of the shot, he pushed her out of the way by what’s quite evident as groping her chest. It’s claimed it was “accidental” but it’s not like he wasn’t looking where his hand went. He looked at her squarely and went right after her chest. The woman responded by smacking him.
There’s no word yet on whether or not he’s been fired but one has to assume he’s gone by now.
