BBC News journalist Caitríona Perry was invited out by rapper Kid Rock during a live broadcast covering Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day. The awkward moment left Perry and viewers embarrassed.
Rapper Kid Rock made an inappropriate comment to BBC News journalist Caitríona Perry while she was covering Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day on January 20. The incident left Perry, as well as many online viewers, feeling uncomfortable.
During the broadcast, Perry was standing on a rooftop overlooking the White House in Washington. It was a cold day, and she was dressed in winter clothes. However, Kid Rock could not see what she was wearing and used it as a pretext to flirt.
“What about you? What are you up to? Where are you?” he asked during a video call on the live broadcast.
“We’ll be on air for about 11 or 12 hours, so I guess my day won’t be nearly as fun as what you’ve got planned. It seems you’ve got the better deal here, no doubt,” the journalist responded.
“You look s…, want to join me?” the rapper asked. Perry quickly replied, “Well, let’s not go there. No skiing for me today; we’ve got a full day of broadcasting ahead.”
Users on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, commented that “the day of potentially chaotic TV moments started early” and described Kid Rock’s behavior as “embarrassing.”
