People need to think before they speak !!

She knew it was wrong when she said it. So why did she say it?

This is disgusting and unprofessional. She does not deserve a place on television. The days of the 'Dumb Blonde' are long gone. This is unacceptable

😯🙁🙄

Don’t call people names or say they look like some kind of an animal people get very upset these days!

Their going to let her off the hook, because some of her best friends are black!!! Fire her azz!!!!

It was a stupid remark....what I don't understand is that gorillas have straight hair and thin lips....how does that equate to the looks of a black man.....🤔

Its like he feels bad for her and kind of forced to accept her apology. But he was hurt obviously and humiliated. I feel for him. Putting his hand on her knee as a gesture to comfort her.... well maybe not the best time considering all the dumb things people feel about it.

She needs to be fired... immediately!

Ooopsie daisy 😏

Ouch....

Sometimes apologies don’t cut it. She needs to be fired. Period.

No intelligent, ancient, African, civilisation, has ever claimed, that they came from: MONKEYS!

Fire her and be done

Bullshit

Does anyone think before they speak anymore? Smh

What a horribly racist thing to say. I'm not one to blame racism but comparing an African American man to a gorilla is absolutely terrible and unacceptable. I'm shocked this network hasn't fired her yet.

So mean!!

I have been compared to a monkey many times in a jokingly way by my father & tgats probably what her father did to her & it just came out wrong bc oh my gawd you can’t compare a black persons to a gorilla without being wished to go to hell.....................s*t...

Think about this. If a black man or woman had made that same statement or joke, he would have laughed his ass off. He got offended because a white woman said it. I'm glad she apologized and he accepted it.

Why would they allow this woman to even speak to her stupidity?

She’s back peddling cuz she got busted AND Doesn’t want to lose her job. SHES RACIST DAMMIT. Who says APE even in Jest’. WHO SAYS THAT ABOUT A FRIEND EVEN IN KIDDING? THATS NOT FUNNY.

Wow just wow...what is wrong with people. Words do matter!

Humph...😒

Goodbye Alex 🤗

What?!? Is this real life?

I say this as a white person: White people. STOP talking. We have held the talking stick for hundreds of years. It got us here. To Trump, the KKK & racism that is back out of the closet we tried to shove it in. Stop. Shut up. Let our POC friends talk & we just fucking listen.

Sorry is just another word,she meant it or she would have never said it

Lol! 😂😂 How in the FF can you sit before your Co- Host and Offer` an apology!! Are you stuck on stupid parked on dumb! You said it... he looks like a gorilla 🦍 how’s an apology gonna be accepted!! Why would say it if you didn’t mean it!! %& I wouldn’t bc your not real.

She should be fired!!

SHE DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE TEAR! FakeNews

Hey is anybody else seeing these tearful apologies as ratings ploys?

AnthonyCumiaCPM thought you’d be interested in this one.

Um in this picture he doesn’t look impressed with her. If looks could kill.

People don’t apologize or give a crap until there is huge outrage about it. Why apologize when it’s something you said or did so obviously meant it 🙄

Sometimes such things make one question if she said that just to get publicity because even her apology sounds like a performance... the only thing everyone deserves regardless of race is respect that's all....

You can’t make this shit up if you tried. Damn!

you both Beautiful ❤️

She was fake crying

Jesus Fuck I spit my tea out!!! 😱

Of course she is emotional : she is effrayed she might end the week jobless. She ain't crying bc she hurt him.

Why hasn’t she been fired?!

Cringe-worthy.

Too easy! She should be fired.

She needs to be fired!! This was disgusting and racist I’m sick of white people getting a pass for being racist

He maybe in trouble now for placing his hand on her leg lol.

Just because she blubbered doesn't make her sorry. Her heart is bad

OMG she was teasing y'all we need to get outta our heads and enjoy pun again It's funny Lord knows we USA needs to 😂😂

Honestly, this is way worst than the “dance” comment but people don’t seem to care as much?

I read about this yesterday on USA TODAY. She should be fired. Name calling she not be allowed in her profession.

Well, her career is over!😐

Wow

Someone here will defend her words. The article makes it clear that SHE did say it.

She sounds more sincere in her apology, than Lara Spencer’s. Just sayin...

So a “tearful” apology resolves it huh? Everything is back to normal. She keeps her job, doesn’t she?

If Roseanne Barr had to be fired for her bad tweet, then this woman should ABSOLUTELY be fired for comparing her co-anchor to a gorilla!

So dramatic. Why the tears Makes you look even more guilty. Why say shit when you know your going to hear it from everyone?

Why would it even enter her mind to say something like this in the first place?

Well , actually............

No she didn’t..she said he looked like the picture of the baby gorilla taking selfies and he agreed because like it he takes close ups. The word gorilla was NEVER used.

Crocodile tears 🙄

What is wrong with people?

Whoa.

The”I feel sorry for myself and I’m scared I destroyed my career” tears don’t move me. That’s why she’s crying. A sober and sincere apology has a completely different feel.

In what way did she find that remotely funny or appropriate? 🙄

She said what was in her head and in her heart. Sick of these disingenuous apologies. And I'm even sicker of Black people accepting this behavior. As long as we keep forgiving these racists, they will continue with their racist ways. She's only sorry about the backlash.

Us black folks don't like that shit at all. But in reality many of us DO LOOK LIKE ANIMALS. But white people DO TOO. All races have a tendency to resemble wild life. After all, WE ARE ANIMALS. Duh.

But what if he actually DOES look like a gorilla? Lol I'm just saying. I've seen white men who look just like apes and monkeys. Maybe she was being racist, or just told the truth without thinking of the consequences.

The latest blonde television host to use their white privilege to say something offensive and get away with it

You are Fired! 👉🏻

I don’t believe her because she was too comfortable saying her cohost looks like. Gorilla

Honestly....it's 2019, almost 2020. Stuff like this shouldn't be happening.

Reverse the roles in this, that black guy would’ve been fired in a heartbeat.

WTF

She only apologized because she was called out

Nahhhh eff her

Oh wow 😮

She should be fired! Sies

I’m so sick of this happening without repercussion. What in the ever loving f-ck 🙄

“Words matter” amen Alex

She absolutely should be FIRED! 😫

😶

Omg

She should be fired .. and banned from any type of platform where she can give her opinion/words to avoid influencing anyone and spewing any hate/racism.

I mean yay for apologizing but the fact is you said it and you’re ignorant for it. Were the tears genuine or just because you didn’t want to lose you job

This was on an ABC affiliate. Why does she keep her job for comments ON AIR, but they fire Roseanne Barr over a tweet? Bs

Oh he big mad

Does she still have her job? She shouldn't
