This Gordon Ramsay and Sofia Vergara interview from 2010 is an uncomfortable watch in the #metoo era

In 2010, actress Sofia Vergara and chef Gordon Ramsay appeared together on the Tonight Show to be interviewed by Jay Leno, and a very disturbing video of their interaction has resurfaced, reinforcing why #MeToo became a thing.

It’s only eight or nine years ago, but attitudes have changed so much that people have been taken aback by his behaviour.

I used to really like Ramsay. I wanted to become him. But it turns out… pic.twitter.com/Dp5TIiJnIn

What an absolute creep. Vergara looks like she's being as assertive as she can in the circumstances, and he's taking fucking liberties https://t.co/gRJMFMPHq3

One woman disagreed with the prevailing view.

I mean it seems like she didn’t mind and they were all just joking together? By no means do I think women should be mistreated or touched inappropriately but seeing her reaction a lot of this just looks like casual banter?
I just don’t think we should beat anyone up for this.

However, other people thought her argument didn’t stand up to scrutiny.

even though she’s literally squished herself to the other side of the chair.. far away from him as possible

You: She seems like she did not mind
Her: No touching This guy doesn't respect me

Whatever honey, if you think she not reacting is a sign of she doesn't minding it then sweetie you're wrong.
