    So here is the story:
    MSN: The runner accused of groping a reporter on live TV spoke out in a new interview, denying that he purposefully slapped the woman's behind while she was on camera.

    "I was caught up in the moment," Tommy Callaway told Inside Edition in an interview released Tuesday. "I was getting ready to bring my hands up and wave to the camera to the audience, there was a misjudge in character and decision-making. I touched her back; I did not know exactly where I touched her."
    A video of Callaway slapping WSAV reporter Alex Bozarjian's butt while she was covering a run in Savannah, Georgia went viral over the weekend.


    Have to admit, it's funny :pac:
    Not saying the ass grabbing is funny. Just him, being so stupid to do it on live TV then says he touched her back. Oh and "he is a 43-year-old father of two who also serves as a church youth minister and Boy Scout leader, according to Inside Edition." :pac:

    Not really.

    I doubt you would think that if it was your significant other or daughter.

    Look, this stuff comes with the territory if you're going to be out and about with the public and interacting with same. It's been blown up for sure but it's still behaviour that's simply not on or acceptable.

    Another idiot who doesn't know the rules.
    What a langer, she was just doing her job.
    Church youth minister and scout leader.

    Typical to be honest.

    He's gotten the fame he's looking for.

    No doubt his lord will forgive him and he'll think it'll blow over..

    If a guy sitting in his car in a wood land in South Galway heard about it you can be dam sure its viral...

    Anybody dismissing this as a joke and that this girl is looking for compo needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Did you not see the girl's reaction when it happened? Her look of shock and embarrassment wasn't faked for compo reasons and she didn't think it was fun. What gives this asshole the right to do anything to her? I hope he's facing repercussions.
    If that happened to my wife or daughter, I'd be hunting the fecker down.

    If it were my wife/sister/daughter, then yeah, I'd be extremely annoyed about it.

    In comparison to things I've seen men deal with on a daily basis in their workplaces... really this isn't that big of a deal.

    But that doesn't matter, probably.

    Don't get your knickers in a knot, might fall off your high horse there... the compensation remark was based on her carefully worded tweet - after the event, not her genuinely shocked reaction at the time of the event.

    Her reaction is like Bishop Brennan getting kicked up the arse.

    Or the time the water pipe burst and the Bishop was soaked on Fr Ted again

    What do you expect with the woman haters on this forum.

    They know full well that you don't slap someone's arse when they're doing their job on live TV. They know it's not just a bit of fun. And what way must a person's mind work if they think it smells of a compo claim against the employer when there is literally not so much as the slightest whiff of that.

    Of course there are worse things but there are zero grounds for dismissing this other than to look edgy.

    And yeah naturally he would be a Christian minister.

    He's always doing that - posting something moronic and then scuttling off.

    He's also an "As a parent" type and would be full of bravado if it was his daughter.

    The classic misogynist. No issue with a woman being on the receiving end of a sexually-motivated assault, but a different story altogether if the woman happens to be his 'possession'.

    Here's an interview if anybody is interested. Strangely antagonistic lady in the green dress tbh.






    It was an accident fair enough, but if not, then it is on my first reaction bad, but then I imagined the genders reversed and I would just take the apology tbh.

    He's probably a "pro-lifer".

    Tie his ass to the bridge next year and let every last finisher slap it going past.

    There's nothing funny about belittling someone like that. Even worse to do it when they are in a situation where you know they can't react. Cowardly and disrespectful to someone just doing their job.

    If the roles were reversed and it was a woman grabbing a male reporters arse it'd be a hilarious meme. It was far from sexual assault.
