Article here and video of exchange here. He spoke to her like she was a piece of shit IN FRONT OF ALL HER COLLEAGUES AND CAMERAS. Unacceptable, inexcusable behaviour from him and I’m so glad her sisters stood up for her!

Who here would have walked out too?

    I wouldn’t have been in that gathering in the first place. Sadly not because of any ethical issue but rather because I’m not in those rarefied heights. 🤣

    But I have to say it warms the cold cockles of my cynical heart to see sisters in competition with each other closing ranks to support one of their own.

    In a social media video statement, Mr Nawat said: “If anyone feels bad, uncomfortable, or affected, I apologise to everyone. I especially apologised to the girls who were present, around 75 of them.”

    Ah yes. The non-apology approach to apology. “I’m sorry you feel bad.” Fuck you, Mr. Nawat. No, on second thought, fuck off. Nobody should be touching you with anything even remotely sensual.

      The apology starts at about 02:10 here. He self pityingly cries, says he’s under pressure and that he said damaged not dumb!! He basically says “if anyone’s upset I’m sorry” so even with all the backlash he’s not taking responsibility

      That dipshit’s wiki entry is a hilarious series of him being a jackass. Like I get that brilliant people sometimes get away with being assholes but I honestly have to wonder - what possible special aptitude could this guy have that lets him survive behaving this way?

        Most of the “brilliant” people who get away with being assholes turn out not to even be particularly brilliant, irony of ironies. Their assholery starts to expose just how utterly un-brilliant they are.

        Kaptain Ketamine with his Nazi salutes is the prime example of this, but so is Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel and, indeed, that whole TESCREAL crowd who act like they’re the über-intelligent coterie who will save humanity … while wearing clown pants and putting on the grease paint.

          I’m not gonna lie, i find the whole lot of them hilarious. Doesn’t matter how hard they puff, a bullfrog is still a bullfrog. Batshit overwrought “philosophies” and lies strutting around like painted whores- just fucking admit you’re a self involved greedy sociopath terrified of death.
