An American TV presenter has apologised for comments she made about Prince George taking ballet lessons.
American TV Host Lara Spencer Apologises For Mocking Prince George’s Ballet Lessons
Lara Spencer, who presents Good Morning America, revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s eldest child would be studying maths, science, history, religious studies, computer programming, poetry and ballet.After she mentioned ballet, she and her fellow host George Stephanopoulos both laughed.
“Oh, he looks so happy about the ballet class,” Spencer said, as images of George popped up on the screen.
She then claimed William said his six-year-old son “absolutely loves ballet”.
“I have news for you, Prince William: We’ll see how long that lasts,” she said. “I mean, he might.”
Actress Rosie O’Donnell was one of the first to call out the TV host, accusing her of “bullying” and labelling her comments “ridiculous” in a video she shared on Twitter.come on @GMA@LaraSpencer#ballet4boyspic.twitter.com/GuEOTWn7NF— ROSIE (@Rosie) August 23, 2019“It’s like bullying on national TV,’ the actress said. “Boys who take ballet are cool.”
Director and choreographer Debbie Allen, who worked on 80s TV show Fame, also weighed in.
“Look at the great contributors to the world, in society. Men that have studied dance (such as) Steve Jobs. Hello,” she said.
Choreographer Brian Friedman, who has worked with stars such as Britney Spears and Beyonce as well as on X Factor, said the presenter should be “ashamed”.

“She is teaching the word that it is ok to laugh at boys for dancing and that is so sad. Just think about the young boys who may have seen this and could quit their passion at her expense.”
Spencer later apologised for her “insensitive comment” in an Instagram post. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Lara Spencer (@lara.spencer) on Aug 23, 2019 at 9:07am PDT“My sincere apologies for an insensitive comment I made in pop news yesterday,” she said.

“I fully believe we should all be free to pursue our passions.
“Go climb your mountain-and love every minute of it.”READ MORE: Happy Birthday Prince George! 19 Of His Best Pictures As He Turns 6 Prince George Is All Smiles (And No Front Teeth) At King's Cup Regatta Prince George Beams As He Wears England Football Shirt In Photos To Celebrate Birthday

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
