Lara Spencer apologizes for mocking Prince George's love of ballet on GMA
The anchor is walking back comments she made criticizing a 6-year-old's royal curriculum: "From ballet, which I took as a kid, to anything in life you wish to explore, I fully believe we should all pursue our passion."anchor Lara Spencer detailed the royal's new curriculum.
Spencer paused after saying ballet as colleagues — including George Stephanopoulos — could be heard laughing in the background. As a photo flashed up on the screen showing Prince George lying in the grass with his mouth agape in a laughing pose, Spencer quipped, "He looks so happy about the ballet class. Prince William says George absolutely loves ballet. I have news for you Prince William: We'll see how long that lasts.
Spencer's critical commentary caught fire on social media Thursday into Friday, with many taking to Twitter to express outrage that a young boy's love of dance was mocked by a national news anchor. Writer-performer Ben Rimalower called the comments "disgusting homophobic bullying of a six-year-old," adding "What year is it? Hello. Men do ballet. I'm sickened by the ignorance." and Spencer, adding, "I don’t think Lara meant it maliciously, but casual homophobia and bullying are just as inexcusable. Shaming a boy for dancing is tired, and laughing at him for having taste shows that you have none.
