What Tracy Grimshaw could say to Gordon Ramsay

dianne says:

05:29pm | 08/06/09

If Tracey Grimshaw is smart she would not say much and let Gordon Ramsay cook in his own fat. i used to admire Gordon Ramsay but it now seems he is just a full of himself, filthy blowfly with little respect for anyone. Meh…

Trav says:

06:08pm | 08/06/09

No man I know would attack a women. Pick a target that won’t fight back eh. I’d like to see him speak about one of the Rebels like that - LOL . Ramsey should hand back his testicles, because he just isn’t man enough for them.

This is yet another card drawn to lure viewers in the ACA vs. Today Tonight ratings war.  I am only in my early 30s but remember a time when ACA actually had just that i.e. current affairs not advertorials and Hollywood trash.  Why do we really care about Gordon’s comments? It’s not as though ACA is reporting on anything meaningful (or Today Tonight for that matter).  Like most things in the entertainment world, it will be forgotten tomorrow when something chk chk boom comes along. ACA and Today Tonight should both be aptly renamed The Current Affairs of Rich and Famous and Today’s Gossip Tonight.  For what it’s worth, I did find it rather hypocritical that Tracy sat there seemingly quite comfortable with Gordon’s innuendos while a few weeks back when interviewing Matthew Johns she was rather self righteous about how women should be treated by footballers.  Food for thought??

Brett says:

07:36pm | 08/06/09

Australia is starting to p*** me off the way some of the more limp-wristed among us demand a grovelling public apology every time someone makes a statement that hasn’t been authorised by the thought police.  Australia is becoming the whining weak spineless country the way anything not completely submissive and flaccid is deemed to be offensive.  What ever happened to good old Aussie honesty and “no bullsh*t” - they would have us all become quivering latte sipping eunuchs

Brett says:

07:40pm | 08/06/09

‘Trav’ said ... “I’d like to see him speak about one of the Rebels” ...

heroes of yours are they?  The epitome of masculinity and honour eh? ... you might feel like more of a man if you stopped looking up to packs an American based franchise based on scaring the weak and powerless by hunting in packs - such a shame to see an Aussie cowering in fear of such limp weaklings

Mark Lockhart says:

07:50pm | 08/06/09

Ramsey had no valid reason for his comments, he was treated respectfully on ACA, so why did he attack Tracey?
I don’t care, I’ll no longer watch his programs, buy his books, use his internet site or dine at his restraunts.
Tracey your reply was well structured and certainly put forward your contempt for Ramsey and his behaviour, whilst retaining your dignity. Well done

Peta says:

08:15pm | 08/06/09

I actually think it’s hilarious.  I can’t stand Tracy Grimshaw and am stoked that someone finally gave her a piece of her own medicine.  I’ve seen the way she attacks people in interviews, she’s a narcissist herself.  I don’t like Ramsay either - but I’d buy him a beer for that one!!!!

Carmel says:

08:18pm | 08/06/09

Tracy Grimshaw is not only an excellent journalist and interviewer she is a “lady”.  Had someone spoken to me as he did to her I would have reacted rudely.  Tracy did not - however she showed her journalistic skill, ability and natural good manners. I and others were going to attend his luncheon at Hyatt Sanctuary Cove next week which sounded like fun.  Absolutely NOT.. a few 4 letter words can be forgiven but not bad manners and for him to vilify Tracy Grimshaw is beyond comprehension. GO HOME GORDON RAMSAY and look after your failing restaurants and personal life.

Ellen says:

08:22pm | 08/06/09

Okay, what the hell?

The thing I want to know is why. What on earth would inspire a person to say something like that?
It’s so rude and insensitive and definitely NOT FUNNY.

He’s a sick coward with an ugly personality.
Eat crap, Gordon Ramsay.
We’re sick of your awful language and abuse.

Bev says:

08:24pm | 08/06/09

I am pleased Tracey Grimshaw said what she did about Gordon Ramsay.  I am sick to death of everyone fawning over him because he a ‘celebrity’.  He lacks creativity, and loves to insult anyone he thinks is less than him.  And to Gordon Ramsay, that is every person in the world.  He is such a loving father that he keeps pet lambs and rabbits at home, letting his children get attached to them and then sends those pets of to get slaughtered and forces his children to eat their pets.  Ramsay publicly boasts of spitting and peeing in peoples food and thinks it is hilarious.  Oh, and his greatest dislike is for vegetarians. How can you dislike people you don’t know because of their food choices?  Oops forgot, he is better than them too.

Maureen says:

08:39pm | 08/06/09

Tracey, if it gets too hot in the kitchen, get out! Everyone knows Gordon Ramsey is a pig. He’s just after publicity. We all know that. Why are you being so sensitve about what he said? Seems like it hit raw nerve. If someone said what he said to me I’d just laugh and move on. Have confidence in YOURSELF and lighten up.

Have you lost your sense of humour?

Elizabeth says:

08:45pm | 08/06/09

Gordon Ramsy is the most unappealing, prematurely aged, wrinkley geeza that I have ever laid eyes on!  For him to make botox suggestions to anyone, let alone someone older than himself, really shows that he hasn’t looked in the mirror lately.

I will never purchase anything that he endorses!

Howard says:

08:49pm | 08/06/09

Good chefs are very dedicated to their profession, to attract the most people to their eating places.  But with Gordon Ramsays bad taste i think his had breathe and respect for others.  This guy needs a mouth wash.    The way he spoke with tracy, he could be forgiven being under the enfluence of drugs.    Gordon think again, i don`t think there is any room for your kind out here.  And your disrespect for the Queen of your home country, you might not be accepted back home.

Jill says:

08:54pm | 08/06/09

Tracey about 48, Ramsay 41 and so many wrinkles. I wonder how Ramsays audience would react if he chose one of them to insult face to face rather than back stabbing Tracey. Gutless Gordon.

Dave says:

08:56pm | 08/06/09

Jeez Brett, what sort of bizzare, contrived response to Trav’s comment was that?!  He was just saying Ramsey should pick on someone his own size you pillock.  You somehow managed to turn it into some inane, semantic rant about the Rebels?  Who cares about the Rebels or where they’re from?  Stop being such a nit-picking, academic smart-bottom.

Lachlan says:

09:05pm | 08/06/09

Brett I was unaware of a time when it was considered okay to abuse women in Australia. Certainly no real old fashioned Aussie man would tolerate a woman being abused, now would any Aussie woman put up with it either.

Not sure where your mythical Australia comes from, but I suggest it might be more to do with your own insecurities than anything else.

thomasr says:

09:31pm | 08/06/09

I must I say I was a bit confused when media regular Tracy Grimshaw starts the show with a rebuttal of Gordon Ramsay and saying how what he did and said was out of line.

Next story is a character assassination of a 19 yr old gal who’s never been in the media before.

Is that irony or hypocrisy?

Scouse in exile says:

10:04pm | 08/06/09

If a comedian calls someone ugly that is (allegedly) funny.  Ramsay makes a similar comment he is labelled sexist. This smacks of double standards. Tracy Grimshaw like stomping people, from time to time, with her “interviews” but does not like being on the receiving end.  We all know Ramsay is a twat but he is a successful twat.

Sarah Schell says:

10:14pm | 08/06/09

Who needs an untalented moron like Ramsay?  His cooking is ordinary at best, his looks are unenviable, his verbal skills are lacking in most areas unless you count swearing, in fact he doesn’t have a lot to offer.  So Ramsay, what are you doing here and haven’t you got a plane to catch sometime in the next 5 minutes?  There must be someone who’d like you - I just can’t think of anyone right now.

Abby says:

10:25pm | 08/06/09

Botox, pig…Ramsey should take a good look at himself with his nasty furrowed butt-ugly head.

Annie says:

10:26pm | 08/06/09

Get lost Gordan You foul mouthed thug!

Rosa says:

10:47pm | 08/06/09

Just because people speak out about the misogynistic treatment of women, it does not follow that these views are those of ‘thought police.’  The footy show style of aussie blokedom seems to be much more in control of how we’re all supposed to think and feel, and if anyone objects then they’ve got ‘no sense of humour’ or are ‘up themselves.’  Maybe everyone is entitled to voice their opinion and no one has to wear comments directed their way, if they choose to speak up.  There’s plenty of frustration on this side too.

Nathan Bush says:

11:12pm | 08/06/09

Surely that was part of the risk Tracey took on when she invited Ramsay on the show. She wasn’t expecting a polite chat about the best seasoning for the Sunday roast was she? He was there for ratings and that is what it delivered. Next up… the Chk Chk Boom girl learns how to become a lady. Please.

Jude Mariott says:

11:14pm | 08/06/09

I agree with Sarah above., what ARE you doing here Ramsay. You are an ugly little man who cares for no one but himself. You dont appear to have any talent apart from swearing a lot and insulting people, probably to make yourself feel good cos obviously you have very low self esteem and will do anything to get your head on t.v. or in the papers. Tracy Grimshaw is a lady with a lot of class. She leaves you for dead in every department.

Joanne says:

11:18pm | 08/06/09

Good on ya Tracy! Gordon, go buy a mirror and take a good long look at yourself.  You’re not exactly pleasing on the eye.  You have done nothing to improve your brand in Australia and have probably just lost half your fan base in a 30 second poor attempt at comedy.  GROW UP!  Yes we do have a sense of humour, but that does not extend to degrading personal attacks on a person.

Marlene Tibbie says:

11:21pm | 08/06/09

Good on u Tracey for responding to the negative comments made about u by Ramsay the guttersnipe.
  Tracy u always conduct yourself in such
a professional manner, and should be very proud of this.
Don’t waste your valuable time thinking about such a Moron, who is full of
himself.  Best he gets the first flight home, and sorts out his failing
restuarants and floundering marriage.  Infact why would Australia want him
back in our country ???  Go home Ramsay, and don’t come back.

rick says:

11:23pm | 08/06/09

Some chef you are Gordon
You just leave a bad taste.

David says:

11:39pm | 08/06/09

Ramsey uses his famous ““F’’ to abuse kitchen staff about taste and clean and tidy kitchens. If you go to “The News Of The World” a London newspapers you will read how Ramsey has problems from the Health Dept and read about his lies about how he claimed he played for a football team which he did’nt,. just lies.

Annie says:

11:52pm | 08/06/09

Ramsay has resorted to cheap pot-shots to keep his business one step away from bankruptcy. Problem is Gordo the banks are moving in because no one is eating at your food shops.  Maybe you should have invested in marketing tactics to grow your business rather than kill it. As the saying goes ... ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’! Whoever advises you, sack them.

Lu Lu says:

12:15am | 09/06/09

Ramsay is the one that needs Botox injections BADLY. He is talking about himself really. He looks like a pig, smells like a pig, sounds like a pig, eats like a pig. Everyone out there, we have an announcement to make. Ramsay is talking about himself. Ramsay is actually, a pig.

Pat Walsh says:

01:18am | 09/06/09

Hey!  We are missing something here. Need to show Gordon Ramsey NOT to denigrate women? Who remembers the time Frank Sinatra came here and callled a woman journalist ‘a hooker’. What happened? He had trouble getting out of Australia on a plane.The unions stepped in, and did Australia proud ‘standing up for women’.  Why not do the same to Ramsey? He then might shut his foul mouth in future and behave like the rest of us are expected to behave! Pat

Maria says:

02:14am | 09/06/09

Poor Gordon Ramsay…SO desperate for publicity that he must insult the last person to waste their time interviewing his over rated, tragic self. His long suffering wife may feel the need to tolerate him, but why do the rest of us have to do so?  TV has been saturated by his hideous presence and foul mouth for way too long. Get rid of him before he starts to actually believe he is God’s gift to women AND cooking. How hilarious….not only that a Pom is actually trying to teach the rest of us to cook…but that a man so leathery, wrinkled and most unnattractive to the eye would have the nerve to comment on the looks of any other person.  Take a look in the mirror, you ugly, conceited, boring sod…Boycott him and send the bastard home…

Bryan says:

02:41am | 09/06/09

She needs botox!?!?!?, Has that smelly old brit looked in a mirror, ?? he has the face of a Shar-Pei’s backside!!!

Sharon Mitchell says:

02:45am | 09/06/09

Thought Ramsay looked really nervy and uncomfortable on the Rove Show, and seemed fidgity and unrelaxed in his interview with ACA. He couldn’t look either interviewer in the eye. The following is only a theory and I could be wrong, but he gave the impression of a man fearful of being confronted by any unwelcome comments about recent controversies. So, his tactic is to get in first, with rude, unwitty comments to throw the host off guard. The host then has to spend the entire interview dealing with a barrage of rude comments, rather than asking any sticky questions.  This tactic seems to have worked for him. Hopefully we won’t see anymore of him on our tv, but if we do, let’s hope the next interviewer ignores Ramsay’s modus operandi and goes for the ‘jugular’ (so to speak).

James says:

03:21am | 09/06/09

Ramsay will be opening a restaurant called “Maze” at Crown in late 2010. I recommend a boycott by all fairminded individuals. As for Tracy Grimshaw; she and the A Current Affair Team have many times exploited members of the public, treated people with a presumption of guilt… and with a holier than though smug attitude. Gordon Ramsay, Tracy Grimshaw and A Current Affair are all synical manipulators of their audiences… make no mistake about it. They all deserve our condemnation. Just as here in Melbourne not so long ago we watched the gangland murders with distaste, but a certain relief that they were dishing it out amongst themselves…. on this occasion I am having a little chuckle in a similar context. I do worry about the example their behaviour gives our children though.

gery says:

08:40am | 09/06/09

this is crap gordon didnt do anything wrong point blank!

GeeJay says:

09:19am | 09/06/09

Gordon who? He may be a chef and he may own a couple of fancy restaurants, that doesn’t however make him a celebrity.

Gordon Ramsay is an overrated, ugly, prune faced pommy w*nker !

He has a face like a rip in a garbage bag and a mouth to match.

He is not funny, he is not interesting and he is certainly not welcome in Australia when we have our own share of fabulously talented chefs who actually have intelligence.

Nam says:

09:28am | 09/06/09

Tracey should say “I will only take you back Gordon, if you promise me to cook dinner tonight” hahahahahahaha

Solomon says:

09:40am | 09/06/09

boycott his tv shows

Alex says:

10:01am | 09/06/09

Which football team did you play for, or do was it just a dream to meet some real Scottish heroes that made you blab up a lie like that?

SALLY says:

10:07am | 09/06/09

please!!! look for a photo of the dog breed dogue de bordeaux and you will see ramsey’s genes.  And for those who thinks he did nothing wrong, would you seriously let him speak to your mother, sister, grandmother or best friend like that and laugh at him while doing so? Or is it just that you people have no sense of real humour, because let me tell you real australians do have a great sense of humour, HE DOESNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen says:

10:12am | 09/06/09

Well done Tracey.  I couldn’t care less about your TV show, but his disrespect of you and then pathetic attempt to cover it up as a “laugh” is disgusting.  I will switch channels rather than watch anything to do with him again.  Don’t bother bringing him on for a right of reply;  he has shown everyone who he is time and time again, and now it’s time people believed him.

Alexei says:

10:14am | 09/06/09

The mistake Tracey Grimshaw made was issuing a response. When somebody calls you names, you don’t respond in kind. It only serves to put you on the same level as the name caller.

If you don’t like Gordon Ramsay vote with your wallet. Money is the truly international language.

I stick stick by the rule espoused by my mother: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”

Mike LeRoi says:

10:41am | 09/06/09

This is a joke yes? Seriously, this is real? OMG one person makes fun of another, the other gets upset and it is national news? Is this equity and diversity taken to the extreme?

So what if people make comments about her? guess what, in my kitchen i am listening to my chefs laugh at her and back ramsay. Now before you think i am biased, yes i am a chef, yes i am a fan, but the reality is that this sort of thing happens daily in most kitchens australia wide. whether it is calling britney spears fat, labor putting us back in deficit or the whole matty johns incident. last time i checked i didnt see any of them discrediting me or my business nationally.

why people are suprised by this? gordon ramsay has a foul mouth, thats why you watch his shows. if language was such an issue, the ratings for his shiow would not be so high. so for long standing fans of gordon to suddenly turn around and call him a bully.  guess what chefs talk like this on a daily basis. I swear at my staff and they swear at me. ita all about the throwaway insult, THROW IT AWAY!  dont hang on to it, it is said as a spear of the moment.

What has australia come to when they think that what one person says to another is actually news worthy?

Melissa says:

11:02am | 09/06/09

Gordon is a pig. He should go back to England and take his crappy show with him.

Karen Henderson says:

11:06am | 09/06/09

Simple solution: don’t buy his products and don’t go to his restaurants

Rossco says:

11:12am | 09/06/09

What’s wrong with Australian television that they have to broadcast this half baked apology for a man’s outlandish garbage.  His obvious lack of education and upbringing is highlighted by his need for profanity.

Sarah K says:

11:43am | 09/06/09

Yes, we Aussies DO love a joke as much as the next person but Gordon? You went way too far with your remarks about Tracy. It’s just not cricket, mate. Give yourself an uppercut.

laura says:

12:05pm | 09/06/09

Grimshaw says “Gordon Ramsay made me promise not to ask on Friday about his private life. He then got on stage on Saturday, and made some very clear and uninformed insinuations about mine. Obviously Gordon thinks that any woman who doesn’t find him attractive must be gay. For the record, I don’t; and I’m not.”

You’d better hope the woman isn’t Gay. Note: This above comment is what the media picked up on. Gossip media/paparazzi will now look for any proof, any photos. If she is Gay, she will be crucified - not for being Gay - but for lying to the Australian public.

mark says:

12:13pm | 09/06/09

The part that surprises me is that we wanted him here in the first place. How many times does someone have to do the wrong thing before they’re accepted for who they really are. As the saying goes, lay with dogs get up with fleas, so I suggest you stop interviewing him Tracy. Re sending him home, it’s a poor assumption that he’s wanted there any more than he is here. He does NOT epitomize the english way, or that of a gentleman in any way shape or form, as for a pig, even they have more manners.

Annette says:

12:31pm | 09/06/09

Well done Tracey, you have more class in your little finger than Gordon has in his entire body! What can you say money certainly can not buy class! & Education! You go girl

Rony says:

01:01pm | 09/06/09

Ok, where do I start. I have been religously watching his shows for about a yeard now. At first I couldn’t watch them due to swearing, but I managed to overcome this and I have found that he helps those wannabe chefs out there to better themselves. However what was said over the weekend about the issue here as way below the belt. Maybe if he apologised for the matter of the incident of Tracey, things would go better for him and his success of becoming a chef. I will still watch his programs and won’t give a cared about his personal life, it should stay as just that. There are other more important things to talk about out there in this life and it’s up to us as the public to get on with our lives and to allow the celebrities to do the same. Gordon reminds me of a pit bull, where the bite is worse than it’s bark but he has made a difference in alot of people’s lives.

 

Adam says:

01:22pm | 09/06/09

Tracy is absolutely fantastic, I really enjoy watching her on TV.

I used to enjoy watching Ramsey’s programs on TV, and only barely tolerated his bull$hit…now I am totally off both him and his programs

Hit him where it hurts,

Sarah Turner says:

01:58pm | 09/06/09

Tracy Grimshaw is a rude reporter who takes pleasure in pushing her guests to the limit in order to increase her ratings.  I have watched her interview several international and local guests and her methods are undermining of the guest and they are personally attacked at every turn. 

Gordon Ramsay is a crass individual and anyone who has caught 5 mintues of one of his shows should know that.  I do not agree with his behaviour, however, given Tracy’s own behaviour during the interview I feel she has literally dug her own grave and now she is crying ‘woe is me’ for even more attention. 

She needs to stand up and accept her own consequences from her own behaviour and grow a set and ignore Ramsay and his pathetic rantings before its too late.

Adamska Van Der Plancke (yes this is my real name says:

02:19pm | 09/06/09

One day this thug is going to go into a restraunt and start mouthing off and there’ll be a cook who’s six foot six, 280 pounds, Gordon Ramsey will start mouthing off and he’ll get curb stomped. Not only does it need to happen a lot of people will want to see it happen.

michelle says:

04:05pm | 09/06/09

even if tracey is gay, no decent person will surely care. ramsay is just a p*&$k who gets pleasure out of denegrating other people

Brett says:

04:13pm | 09/06/09

Tracey Grimshaw is a fabricated character. She is not real; she is made up - her hair style; the clothes she wears and the nasal whine are all carefully groomed to be familiar and soothing to ACAs demographic - the stories on ACA are carefully designed to be told in a simple way that will not alienate the shows viewers - the show is dumbed down so that it will appeal to the ‘average’ person.  This story involving Grimshaw and Ramsay is equally contrived.  Anyone who cannot see that is probably a regular ACA viewer.

Fairbloodydinkum! what an embarrasment he is…dag of a man…how can some of you back this boofhead? would you let him speak to you like it..or your wife or mother?..

I thought real aussie blokes stood up for our women when it comes to disrespect and filth from blokes like ramsay…thats what i was taught..

Does he have his own teeth? surely he couldn’t have got this far through life without someone smashing him in the foul mouth that he has….and he thinks it’s real funny?..

I’ve watched his shows and think all those that worked for him were a bunch of sooks to take ramsays crap….no job is worth what this bloke does to people….He’s wrecked his own life with his actions..

I think tracy grimshaw handled his filth well….good on her for standing up for herself as an individual and a woman!..

Anna says:

06:22pm | 09/06/09

For the life of me I cannot understand why one person would find Ramsay’s comments about Tracy funny. If he offends even one person it is that one too much. Free speech is is a right and a privilege, not a tool to degrade, slander or cause offense.

Tim says:

08:46pm | 09/06/09

It speaks volumes for modern society that such a monosyllabic goon who couldn’t even qualify for the navy aptitude test in britain 30 years ago has become such a cultural phenomenon.

simon says:

10:55pm | 09/06/09

Both have sold themselves short.

Both are fronting very bad TV programs.

Don’t watch either of them, its all garbage.

He’s a boring pig and she trawls society for vulnerable people and exploits them for ratings

Andrew says:

11:17pm | 09/06/09

Poor Tracy can’t take a joke anymore. She only knows how to give it to people in her one-eyed interviews. She has become the weak minded molly coddled fool that she pretends to dislike. True colours! Gordon is true to himself, funny and forthright. Good for him. All these wimps talk about protecting women - they still don’t accept we are equals.

NRD says:

11:36pm | 09/06/09

Let’s face it their both publicly seeking egos. We all know Gordon is a pig, that’s what we expect, why people watch him and at least he doesn’t make any apologises for himself.  While Tracey Grimshaw is a careful groomed, ratings tested, personality designed to disguise and give creditablity to the substance free dribble ACA is dishing up as news.  Who’s really being honest?

Shane says:

11:48pm | 09/06/09

What about all the people Tracy has bullied, she deserve what she gets.

Peter Thornton says:

07:06am | 10/06/09

Gordon Ramsey. Yawn…

How obvious, how predictable, how desperate. Schtick - (Yiddish) a contrived and often used bit of business that a performer uses to steal attention - can work wonders for anyone. Although when repeatedly used it becomes nothing more than boring. And in your case, If it wasn’t so boring it might be funny. If it wasn’t so squeamishly provincial it might be less boring.

Gordon? Are your parents siblings?

Also, for someone who claims to be a regular runner you appear awfully tubby. But only from some angles. Pretty much sums you up. Time for you to return to the world’s largest inbred village now Gordo: The British Isles.

Wendy says:

10:32am | 10/06/09

A few years back I went to a ‘dinner with’ Gordon - paid $150 for his recipes cooked by a top local chef.

I thought in person he would be quite witty and hilarious, more toned down than on the tele. Actually in person he was a total pig. Slagging off his wife (who was back in London looking after all their children) and being a thug. Worse still, his food was boring. I haven’t watched him since and am relieved that the true Gordon seems to be rearing his ugly head.

He’s a schmuck who deserves to limp off into oblivion.

David says:

11:40am | 10/06/09

I have switched off channel 9 for 48 hours and hopefully after that they won’t bring up the story again. ....hopefully!!!!!

Jordan says:

11:54am | 10/06/09

This is Pathetic on both people’s ends. People get bullied, harassed and called names on tv everyday so why is this any different, If tracy is making headlines from being publicly insulted then just imagine if every criminal, rapist and killer sobbed after ACA called them a disgusting person.Some people dont find him funny (For the record i dont either) but it was just a joke. Both people need to apologize, and realise it wasnt that big a deal.

Libby says:

12:02pm | 10/06/09

Reading above it would seem Australian’s don’t want anyone visiting their country if they don’t follow the flock. All those people that suggested he goes home?? And do what? Tell the UK how precious Australians are and how relaxing it is here..? It amuses me that this has made headlines on Channel 9 for days.. or is it just that, Channel 9. A channel desperate to divert attention away from its once-upon-a-time drawcard.. Rugby League. Tracey Grimshaw is masquerading under the shelter of ACA as a reporter. By endorsing the ahem..‘reports’ on the show she can be held responsible for the destruction of many peoples lives. Yes yes.. I know they’re not the brightest of people, but isn’t that worse?  The regular poorly researched ‘reports’ on this show are so common place, thus this current debacle was inevitable - so why is everybody so surprised? Gordon Ramsey has publicly displayed how he operates for the world to see. A Google search would have let the ACA team know the way he is and prepare accordingly, you know, like professionals do.
On another note, I did get a great laugh out of the comments by Lachlan. Australia has never been a sexist country?? Is that right! Maybe you should see if a current affair has any positions in their research team, you seem qualified!

Maybe if she said it from the heart instead of reading a prepared response from tthe telestrator, it would have been more believable. Channel nine ratings must be at an all time low for them to pull a stunt like this.

If Tracy Grimshaw cant take comments like that then she should really reconsider her position on her show Current Affair.

She is more than comfortable dishing it out week in and week out on her show but can seem to take any of her own medicine.

Tracy: If you cant stand the heat in the kitchen maybe you should leave.

We all know what Gordon Ramsay’s personallity is like. and if she was a good reporter she should have seen some banter coming out of her interview. She arrived ill-equipped to the interview.

The public have had enough of Grimshaw.  In terms of journalistic ability, she is possibly the least credentialed host that “A Current Affair” has suffered.  She lacks insight, knowledge & depth and has recently embarked on an unprofessional path of editorialising on every story that crosses her desk - mostly getting it wrong.  One wonders whether the head honchos at Nine are simply encouraging her in this folly of grabbing more than enough rope in order to make her removal a simple task at year’s end - if not before.

She fronts a show that constantly WRONGLY accuses people of doing things that are morally wrong (with NO apology) and then has the cheek to say some insulted HER ! .... take a good look at yourself before you complain about other people!

This from above made me laugh:

“A Google search would have let the ACA team know the way he is and prepare accordingly, you know, like professionals do.”

Professionals? what? Students? Reporters go after stories that could, in turn, prove to be influential. Whereas lazy journalists ‘research’ alleged facts on Google. Gordon’s reputation, good and bad manners and general attitude precede him. Possibly wherever he goes. What he’s like isn’t the point of Grimshaw’s witch hunt (no pun intended). What he did is. If it’s untrue he can fight it in court and be paid out. But he has a reputation for deceit and dishonesty, which may have prompted sister Grim to mount her broom. Besides, there are far more talented, successful chefs in the world who don’t court notoriety. What’s the big deal about him? Stone the flamin crows, next you’re going to be telling us how cool and edgy (ffffwwwwooooaaarrrr) silly bloody Robbie Williams is…

If his “jokes” had been said during an interview with her, I might agree with some of the comments made by a few others. If that had been the case, she could have responded, or not, however she chose ~ in fact, he did insult her looks at the beginning I believe, something about the mole on her face, and she did brush it off.
But of course, like any bully, the bulk of his derogeratory remarks were made publically, at a time when she could not defend herself.
I thought she did a very good job with her response ~ and I am sure that she’s right and that Gordon has met many lesbians.

I think it’s all very well to say, “oh, it was a joke, get over it”. I’m sure that would be able to happen in the perfect little world some of you seem to think we live in. But let’s face it, if your sexuality, gender, appearances, and dignity came under threat and you were publicly humilated in front of peers, family, workmates and the Australian and the international public, you be a little more than cheesed off about it. Rergardless of whether you like ACA or even her, what Gordon Dichead Ramsey said and did to Tracey was the lowest of the low. Good on you Tracey, for your restrained and dignified self throughout the whole affair!

Instead of promoting Gordon Ramsay, TV channels would better serve the community by making documentaries on workplace bullying, and the role of sociopaths.  We pay a high price for the damage they do to worker’s health.
