Transcript
- 0:00We got a question for American mama. Dear mamas, did you see the
- 0:02video of the reporter getting her butt grabbed live on air? Well, let's
- 0:06ask our American mama's Mama, Mama, and joining us now our American Mama's
- 0:23Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burlison. Okay, so this was a story out of
- 0:28Spain, and so I kind of needed subtitles to get through some of it.
- 0:32But there was a female reporter on the streets in Spain, just reporting,
- 0:36and you see this guy walking up behind her. He se he clearly
- 0:39sees the camera. He walks up and he grabs her butt, and she
- 0:45kind of like jumps on camera. He doesn't walk off, he walks just
- 0:49a little bit off camera. And in the middle of the reporting, the
- 0:52male anchor back in this newsroom stops and says, wait a minute, did
- 0:56that guy just grab you live on air? And the reporter very embarrassedly said
- 1:02yes, yes he did. And he said, okay, uh, that's
- 1:06not acceptable. We're gonna put a stop to that. And they eventually they
- 1:08reported this guy to the police and years later arrested. Oh wow. You
- 1:11know what's so interesting about it is I was proud of her for her professionalism
- 1:17because he comes up, he does it looks like he like tapped her on
- 1:19the butt or something. But she continued to do her reporting even though you
- 1:23know, inside she was thinking what the heck because he didn't just walk by
- 1:26and keep going. He stayed there and watched her while she was working,
- 1:32So that hadn't been intimidate. I think that hadn't been weird. But she
- 1:34was so professional. Here's what I love. They go back to the studio
- 1:38and and the guy looks like a father figure. He does, he doesn't
- 1:42look like he's her age, and he says in Spanish, did he just
- 1:46did he just touch you? And so she's she's actually awkward and embarrassed,
- 1:51and he's like, yes, he actually did, says it in Spanish,
- 1:53and then I don't know, I don't speak Spanish, but then he said
- 1:56something you could tell it was very He was monishing that person. He was
- 2:00not happy with the situation. He said, you tell him told her what
- 2:05to say, right, So she stops the interview. Yeah, this is
- 2:08not okay, You're not to do that, and you know he was protecting
- 2:13her. This is when I love when men do this because gosh, dang
- 2:16it, these people who are saying poop poo to toxic masculinity kind of crap.
- 2:22Let's be clear about what you're saying. You like the part that men
- 2:23do, You don't, not the part of the guy walking up and grabbing
- 2:25the butt, but the part I like that if it's Kevin, okay,
- 2:29but yeah, no, you're right. I may have messed that up.
- 2:31But but the protective anchor who saw this, and it's kind of like that
- 2:37soccer player that's a female ref. The soccer player comes and gets in her
- 2:40face and she stands up to him, but it was the other, the
- 2:44male ref that came in between him and gave him another car. And like,
- 2:46I'm sorry, y'all, but I love that me too. We're we
- 2:51are the weaker sex. We are so to be able to do her job
- 2:53professionally and to be able to stand there with someone, you know, yelling
- 2:57in your face, that is strength. But then to have a man come
- 3:00up and go heck no, I love that. Well. It's men making
- 3:04other men accountable. Yes, in every area of life, it is important.
- 3:09The men in our country like this in their country must be strong.
- 3:14Yes, they must stand up. That's their job. Yes, in my
- 3:16opinion, that is their job. We just like her, you're embarrassed,
- 3:20like you immediately want to always okay, so yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 3:23yeah, it's okay, okay. I mean we did it ourselves in school
- 3:27when boys did it. I mean it's the same kind of thing. You're
- 3:30just like, you're silly. Yeah, yeah, don't do that. But
- 3:32it's going to take other men saying, hey, don't do you just do
- 3:36that to you exactly, and then to follow through with him being arrested.
- 3:39I loved it. I loved it. It's kind of like the president of
- 3:44the soccer team. What team would I guess it was? Here? He's
- 3:46the president of the Spanish soccer association. Yeah. And after the women's Spanish
- 3:51soccer team won the World Cup for the first time earlier this year, yea,
- 3:54as the star player gets up on the platform to be able to get
- 3:58her medal, he just full on face plant kisses her. Yeah. And
- 4:04he's since has been he's finally stepped down. It created a firestorm of attention
- 4:09in Spain. He has finally stepped down as the head of the soccer association
- 4:12in Spain because of it. Okay, I'm probably gonna be unpopular with this,
- 4:15but give me a freaking break. They were all celebrating, he was,
- 4:19They were hugging each other, She hugged him. They were talking,
- 4:21they were laughing, and he gave her He brought her, he gave her
- 4:25a kiss. I think if it had been a male, he would have
- 4:28brought him in and kissed him on the head or something. That was a
- 4:30celebratory thing. And then she was fine with it. They talked, yupped
- 4:33it up. It was great until the media put it in her head.
- 4:36Hey, that was harassment. I was disappointed in her. I mean,
- 4:41he apologized, he said, I didn't mean anything, but I was just
- 4:44caught up in the moment. It's not a good look. I made a
- 4:46mistake, you know, and all of that. It would have been a
- 4:48battle at her to go. Look, I was in the moment too,
- 4:50didn't mean anything. I didn't feel anything sexual from him. But I was
- 4:54sad that she kind of went into the me too way. I see,
- 4:57this is what scares me. I don't like that it's not one fits all
- 5:00because there's different relationships, there's different friendships men and women. But because of
- 5:04women like this that come back and say this is you shouldn't have done that,
- 5:09and so it's going to change the relationships of men and women. Well,
- 5:12this is any environment. This is what we saw during the Me Too
- 5:14movement. Yeah, it's such a shame. And I you know, I
- 5:16feel sorry for him because he didn't have a job. He was, but
- 5:19it just seemed like it was just a celebratory Oh my gosh, this is
- 5:23just the greatest thing in the world, and it turned into something ugly for
- 5:26him. Yeah. So you're glad with them anchor holding the other random man
- 5:30to account. Yeah, but with the head of the soccer association, he
- 5:33held himself to account. He said, I'm sorry I got carried away.
- 5:36It wasn't sexual, he didn't mean. I really think that if it had
- 5:39been another man, he would have kiss him on forehead, you know,
- 5:42he would have hugged him just as tightly. But since it was and she
- 5:44was fine with it until she wasn't it feel like I asked our American mamas
- 5:47a question. Go to our website American ground Radio dot com slash Mama's and
