DUBAI: BBC presenter Ben Brown was slapped live on air Tuesday after he appeared to touch a womans chest in an attempt to push her off camera.Brown was in the middle of an interview with the BBCs assistant political editor Norman Smith in Bradford when a woman stepped into the shot flashing a thumbs-up sign.
The presenter gently pushed her away and continued with his interview, but not before the surprised looking woman slapped him on the arm and walked away.

A perfectly appropriate interaction.

I think she should have slapped his stuped face, OR kicked him in the nuts.
Then perhaps file charges against the bastard. That was a deliberate grab of the breast, and it looks to me like where he touched her WASN'T accidental.
Seriously?

Maybe he should have paid more attention to where he touched her when pushing her away, but pushing her away was the right thing to do.

Looked like he was barely even looking at her. He was trying to maintain eye contact with the subject of the interview.
Sorry just not gonna agree.

That was.no groping gesture. He wasn't focused on where his hand was.
Who's going to grope a woman on camera? And while having an interview with someone? Give me a break!
