TORONTO — An incident in which a man nuzzles and licks the ear of an on-air TV journalist reporting on a comedy event was roundly condemned on Wednesday, with some arguing the actions amounted to an assault.
“Things are getting a little awkward out here, so I’m going to pass it back to you,” Glover said from the Comedy Bar in Toronto. “Chris Glover showed remarkable composure and professionalism in the face of a very awkward situation,” Chuck Thompson said. “Unfortunately, the trend of harassing reporters continues and is something we take very seriously.”
In recent years, female reporters in particular have been the subject of crude, harassing catcalls which, in some cases, have resulted in charges against the perpetrator. More recently, other journalists have been physically assaulted while doing their jobs in public. The 40-second clip of Glover sparked outrage on social media, with some condemning what happened as an assault, and others saying they would not have remained so calm.
Bababoey
A nice CBC elbow to his jaw would have settled the humour.
Yeah, that’s assault.
I'm leaning towards creepy more than disgusting
Thus ends another offender’s career. Jeez people, relax.

'Well known' Literally who? 🤔🤣
Didn't get slugged like Rebel reporters. Of course that wasn't covered by MSM.
what a weirdo
How we would react if he did that to a woman is how we ought to react to this.
Figures our 1.5 billion subsidy buys this lame talent at CBC.
It must be so exhausting to be offended and in fear all the time. Let's stop giving this nonesense attention.
Well known 😂
I think Gillette was just talking about this guy the other month...

The reporter is not being condemned as assault, and the action in question is quite clearly assault. It's not some niche opinion that this was a disgusting act that should earn Pervy Skeletor a trip in the back of a cop car. He should be charged. Now. globetoronto some might say sexual assault... globetoronto The restraint by the reporter was incredible. Any other human would have, at the very least, turned around and confronted the weirdo and a larger portion of the population would have thrown haymakers.
