“Did You Forget Your Pants?”: Kerri-Anne Accused Of “Slut-Shaming” Panellist On Studio 10
Controversial TV host Kerri-Anne Kennerley has been accused of “slut-shaming” senior reporter Antoinette Latouff during a Studio 10 segment.
Latouff was appearing on a panel discussion called “Millenial Speak” when Kennerley made the unsavoury comment.
Nearing the end of the discussion, Kennerley turned to look at Latouff’s leg and randomly asked her, “Did you forget your pants today?”
Latouff attempted to laugh it off and said she was wearing a playsuit, while co-hosts Natarsha Belling and Joe Hildebrand were left visibly shocked by Kennerely’s comment.
While panelist Angela Bishop quipped back, “And she looks unbelievable”, Kennerely continued by saying Latouff was going to be “thirsty” (a word she’d just learned in the segment, which is a colloquial term for horny).
Following Kennerely’s comment, Belling abruptly ended the segment and attempted to move on.
However, social media users refused to let Kennerely get away unscathed, suggesting KAK needs to apologise, and that 10 should sack the controversial host.
Watch the exchange below.

Australian journalist and presenter Jan Fran said on Twitter she’d be humiliated if something like that happened to her.
Like, imagine being asked ON LIVE TV (or anywhere TBH) by a colleague whether you forgot your pants and then having them suggest you're "thirsty" How is that okay? @Studio10au @antoinette_news. Damn, i would feel so humiliated!

Pedestrian Daily deputy editor Alex Bruce-Smith said an apology was needed “at the absolute bare minimum”.
Asking your colleague if she “forgot her pants” on live television is disgraceful. @antoinette_news deserves much, much better from KAK (and so does everyone else).
An apology is needed at the absolute bare minimum.
