Tracey sort of admitted that Gordon Ramsay didn’t makes statements about her sexuality – but DIDN’T retract the statement, merely trying to clarify what she meant – a bit weak! She did accept Gordon’s apology and stated she didn’t want to discuss the matter further.
Gordon talks frankly about what happened, saying that it wasn’t clever, but is part of his normal banter and apologised for any hurt caused, making it clear that it wasn’t his intention! Gordon Ramsay tells us that he made attempts to contact Tracey Grimshaw, actions which weren’t reciprocated, but did eventually were today.
Gordon stated what the videos that we have seen show, someone from the crowd first suggested the pig was Tracey Grimshaw. He also says that he never called her a lesbian but admits that he got carried away with the moment and played up for the crowd. He admits it was stupid and horrified that it caused so much trouble – and even copped a bollocking off his mother.
Gordon Ramsay does a great job of putting the whole incident into perspective and partly explains how all of the pieces were assembled for the incident to gain a life of its own and eventually to demonise him.
Even the reporter was being ridiculous with some of his questions – maybe he is due for a job on A Current Affair or Today Tonight. He had an agenda and wouldn’t let go and kept pushing mute points that had been addressed- I think he came off worse, whoever he is!
You can see the full interview here – the title is “Ramsay Backs Down”.
At the end of the day, it was a few jokes gone wrong, blown out of all proportion – an embarrassment for all people involved, especially that lower level of the Australian media that these shows exist on!
