Not sure if he’s being rapey or playing a prank to get on camera. I’m sure millions of women are really sick and tired of this kind of bullshit though.
Now I just WONDER why the sound cuts out where it does. Any lip readers?
I think its because she was pointing the mic at the douche instead of talking into it.
Roger that! Creep needs to lose a few teeth too.

I blame globalism!
She was civil and didn’t even seem to cuss him out. In my casual lip reading, I’m getting that she said:
Don’t you ever do this! Okay? Don’t ever do that. Never do that. Never do this to a woman! Okay? Respect. (and, some exasperated word here)
What! It was a gesture of admiration! She should be flattered!
(Does anybody even try that defense any more?)
All I can say is that if so, it exhibits an amazing degree of self-control. I’m petty sure that if it were my daughter or SO that microphone would need some serious decontamination before anyone used it again.
What surprises me is that he apparently stayed nearby, rather than running off into the masses.
yeah - that was “mother fucker”
and I know you read it
Whether or not the purpose of this act was getting on camera, it was rapey (or sexual assaulty if you want to get technical, ). Intent isn’t magic.
Note: the intent of this comment was not to criticize you, but to use your comment as a springboard. However, as i said …
No, there’s a definite click and significant drop in the volume including background noise. I think the camera person or sound engineer turned off her mic because she was done with her spot.
You drink vodka. I have.
I can think of this one guy… but he’s a politician now, and not a reality TV show host / beauty pageant runner / real estate mogul anymore, so I’m sure his act has been cleaned up.
Or, they knew what was possibly about to be said and didn’t want it going out live.
You can hear what she says clearly if you turn the volume up. Just remember to turn it down again afterwards.
Her creep avoidance reflexes are strong, that kiss attempt missed by inches.
