Alex Scott has no time for classist comments about her accent, thank you very much
“I went into the Olympics knowing the scrutiny that I would be under once again from all the trolls,” Scott explained. “But then to open Twitter and see that from him, I was just like: ‘I’m not going to be silent any more. I’ve had enough.’ So I just tweeted and went to bed.” This isn’t the first time Scott has addressed the abuse she’s received online during her broadcasting career.earlier this year, Scott recalled how she’d been sent tweets telling her she “should be at home ironing or cooking,” but said it was her “responsibility” to change people’s perceptions by staying on screen.
While Scott shouldn’t have to be subjected to so much horrific abuse in the first place, it’s great to see her succeeding in the face of so much vitriol. Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
