Ramsay video emerges
Footage has emerged of the verbal attack on Tracy Grimshaw by Gordon Ramsay that triggered last night’s response from her on A Current Affair.
During the video – shot at a Melbourne food expo – in what is clearly a pre-planned segment, an image of a naked woman appears on the screen. The woman is on hands and knees and has a pig’s face. Ramsay tells the audience: “I’m not going to tell you her name, but it begins with T”.
And in another development, “Givesyouwings”, the YouTube channel dedicated to the Rove show was taken down for “user violation” this morning.
Bit of a fuss over nothing if you ask me. He’s Gordon Ramsay. He swears and offends people. It’s what he does. If you don’t like it, don’t watch. And don’t pretend you only watch him for his cooking skills either! And just look how much publicity he’s generated for himself. All planned, I’m sure.
Well an interesting attempt at Humour from a philandering broke Kitchen hand.
Those who cant entertain in a dignified and classy way resort to kitchen scraps and try to dress it up as palatable meal.
If that is all she is whining about then she’s an idiot.
It would really shock me if a journalist would take offence to this, surely they should have thicker skin, especially considering the base ‘interview techniques’ ACA uses.
This will probably have little effect on the Ramsey brand, the two key issues which will have slightly affected his brand over the past few years are the reported diminishing standards of his UK restaurants and to some, the story about cheating on his wife.
He’s still to most, first and foremost an entertainer, and that’s probably more important than flailing businesses or marriages.
Wow first the chaser now this what are we coming too
He thinks just because he’s famous he can get up there and say what ever he likes
how can we allow that on our televisions he should be banned
He’s an arrogant prick, but I wish the journalists hadn’t chased him into the casino like that. Let the guy go on his run in peace, stupid media morons.
I’m also trying to work out at what point he called her a “lesbian”. Never heard it.
SOmeone said & I quote: ” he is Gordon Ramsey and if you don’t like it don’t watch”…Ah..Well..he is Gordon? and what’s that supposed to mean ..and I am the Queen Elizabeth! PUF! and what do you mean don;t watch..people across Australia watch ACA and even overseas..so are we suppoised to watch a favourite program just because an idiot, self centred pig is on line?
Honestly..Ramsey is counted as a low life…the lowest of all, he’s just a number to add to the idiots, fools,scums, celf centred people that think they’re something.
I’ve never watched ANYTHING with him in it..and i know that millions also don’t!
He is a Bully..show a bully that you are hurt or that you care what he says and he continues on bullying.
His behaviour is such of a 15 year old boy
This is not the video. This is the the day after it happened.
This is the video of his 2nd rant at Tracy. The first show where he called a lesbian was the previous show – no tapes of that one have yet emerged.
I think this was the Friday Morning Show with Ramsay as I was there and saw it – although I left soon after he started cooking. It was pretty funny and the whole audience laughed with him
I thought it was the Saturday show where he let loose on the Lesbian trajectory.
Incidentally, he made a similar outburst about KAK when he was last out in 06 saying she needed a good rogering.
He is a loudmouthed idiot of course, but if the media want load mouthed idiots, and a large and plentiful supply of idiots want to see this tosh then I suspect it will always happen
I feel sorry for Grimshaw, not for this which is general nonsense, but because network ‘Bone Em’ took the perfectly presentable if a little dowdy presenter and pimped her to within an inch or her life – leave them Tracey, find a network that is more interested in your interview technique and a little less in blackanddeckering you into someone else
How about the poor pig in all this? It just seems to be having a hard time of it of late.
I think everyone should apologise for the jokes about swine flu, people who look like pigs, pigs who look like people, fat pigs, old pigs, ugly pigs, Miss Piggy barbs etc. Maybe Kevin Rudd could apologise on behalf of all of us. We could have a national day dedicated to it. But no apologies for bacon and eggs please, I love that on a saturday morning.
Gordan Ramsay is one of the ugliest people I have ever come across both on the inside and out. He has a big nose and more wrinkles than a Pug, how any one can find him attractive is beyond me. I do have one question; why when everyone knows how much of an asshole he is do poeple still want to interview him and invite him here in the first place.
Exactly, a bit fuss about nothing. He jokes; he’s Gordon… we know he jokes. Get over it. If that’s the criteria to be called a ‘sexist pig’ than half the country could qualify. Leave Gordon alone.
damn. we all just dont wana hear hit sh** anymore. over it. let him say wat hes gotta say. he just keeps on tainting his imagine even furthr even if he does say he dusnt give a crap.
The only way to get through his rhino skinned skull and penetrate what little brain he has is to hit him where it hurts most, his hip pocket. He is obviously too much of a narcissist to have any feelings for anyone but himself.
My plan is to watch his show then contact every business that advertises on it and let them know I am boycotting their products until they withdraw support for him. If enough people do this the TV stations running his shows will soon loose revenue and drop him like the piece of fecal discharge that he reminds me of.
@Starky. Companies advertising on tv don’t have a say of what show they do it against. They’re given only a time frame.
The more you people that lash out on him, the more attention he gets and the more money he and his business ventures make.
Anyone who has to rely on sarcasm and unfunny hurtful barbs against people for “laughs” should really find another line of work. Only like-minded uneducated morons would find his comments funny. He’s nothing but a foul mouthed boring git and I hope he never sets foot in Australia again. Why any tv station would bother airing his garbage amazes me. I never watch any of his stuff.
Australia – Victorian Britain was over 100 years ago and on the other side of the planet!
He made a crap, and slightly offensive, joke about someone – that’s it… he didn’t punch her in the face (although judging by her narcissistic vitriol, she’d probably deserve it).
If everyone who had ever made a crass, misjudged, joke about someone else was banned from TV… all we’d have would be 24/7 cartoons.
So take off your “OMG” tinted glasses, AND your “nationalistically-based-moral-outrage sandals”, and grow the fuck up.
I don’t agree with what he said. Lets get that out there first. I don’t. But I do think it is interesting and maybe a little hypocritical for Channel 9 to happily accept advertising revenue for Gordon Ramsey’s two shows Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen – where he openly insults chefs and restaurant owners in expletitive laden shows – but only now that one of their own has been insulted that Channel 9 gets uppity about Gordon’s language.
Ohhh, he insulted someone at Channel 9? Oh well that’s totally different from insulting other people who aren’t at Channel 9, syndicating the program, running ad’s about the show and highlighting his foul language in those ad’s to ramp up viewership thereby maximising revenue dollars from those who watch.
Gordon’s words were uncalled for, as I’ve said and as he’s now acknowledged/apologised for them now too. But taking revenue and promoting him when it suits and then acting like a spurned lover for the very same actions that made him attractive to you in the first place, isn’t a great look for anyone.
Channel 9 can hardly plead ignorance to his swearing as they were pulled up about it last year: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,24498081-2862,00.html
Back to the grind…
The thing is a set up and scripted… its from Channels 9 marketing dept.
Why are people even buying into this??
Further to Hey-anony-nony’s point, aside from taking money from Ramsays shows, where he insults people not working for channel 9, often with language much more crude and offensive that his outburst regarding Tracey Grimshaw.
Does anybody else think its a bit irionic that the host of a show – which has no problems completely tearing apart people lives often based on biased and very circumstancial information, for nothing more than ratings, has a problem when someone has a go at her?
Little thin skinned if you ask me – yes what he said may have been inappropriate, but lets remember that this is Gordon Ramsay, its not like its an outburst that is out of character for him. If Tracey Grimshaw has a serious problem with what he says then she’s in the wrong job!
