Comedian Attacks Bindi Irwin
Comedian Attacks Bindi Irwin – Comedian Fiona O’Loughlin refuses to apologise for pouring scorn on Bindi Irwin.
Viewers branded O’Loughlin spiteful and hateful after calling Bindi “a freak show” on Wednesday’s episode of ABC music quiz Spicks and Specks.
O’Loughlin described 11-year-old Bindi as a “bit creepy” before doing an over-the-top impersonation of the child star’s voice.
She then made a gesture indicating Bindi was crazy, before miming a slap across the child star’s face.
But O’Loughlin has today defended her comments.
” I don’t know what all the fuss is about! it was a throwaway line as a part of some banter on a comedy panel show. I’m a comedian and comedian’s make fun of people we know ! I’ve said worse about myself,” O’Loughlin said.
“Bindi has been operating in the public domain for years now and material about her sometimes appears in my shows along with other people you know (and some you don’t). I’m as much a target as Bindi is and have been the recipient of all kinds of remarks and jokes for years – just like anyone in the public eye is a target for comedians and commentators.”
