TV Host Slammed for What He Called Kim Kardashian After Interview

English television host Mark Wright is in hot water with fans after an interview with Kim Kardashian.

Sharing a snap of the interview on Instagram, the host captioned the picture, “Great night chatting to this 1 @kimkardashian what a lovely girl and so funny too. @extratv.”

He quickly changed the word “girl” to “person” in the caption when the internet called him out on the sexism of calling the 37-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians businesswoman a “girl” when he himself is seven years younger than her.

“Girl? I hope she doesn’t read this post. Seems a little disrespectful to me,” one fan commented.

Another added: “If she’s over 18 she’s a woman, not a girl.”

Other said people were too caught up on semantics.

“It’s how English talk, ‘girl’ is something we say, people causing a big deal over it,” one person said.

Wright first rose to prominence on the English series The Only Way is Essex and has appeared on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
