Triple M announcer Lee Faulkner apologises for ‘locker room talk’ about female colleagues
Triple M Darling Downs’ Lee Faulkner has apologised live on air for engaging in “locker room talk” about women he has “worked with and continues to work with”.
“I’ve been involved in so-called locker room talk about… female colleagues that I have worked with and continue to work with, and I’ve joined in wholeheartedly,” he said.
Faulkner admits to being guilty of sexism
Saying you are sorry for Locker Room talk on air, is a bit of a ‘fauxpology’. Because you’re basically saying: I can say those things behind closed doors, but not in public.
Until we all wake up and remove this kind of vile and discriminatory language from all of our conversations and thoughts – in private and in public – this will go on. Just stop it!
I see you’ve read my book.
A great reply, some people are so extreme.
Is this some sort of attempt for media attention? Did someone at mumbrella hear this segment live and decide to report on it or was it sent via a press release? No one at Triple M (proper) would know who this announcer is, including the heads of content. I’m sure he and Barry Hall have never met. This whole apology just seems odd.
BTW – don’t stretch the logo.
