法网选手直播中强吻女记者被驱逐
法网组委会官方宣布,将把21岁的法国本土小将马克西姆-哈姆驱逐出本届法网,原因是他在赛后采访中试图去亲吻一位女记者,这样的荒唐行为在法网组委会看来是明显“不适当的”。 A 21-year-old French tennis player's "inappropriate behavior" towards a female journalist during a live TV interview at a major tournament has been described as "reprehensible" by the French Tennis Federation. Maxime Hamou pulled Eurosport journalist Maly Thomas close to him and kissed her repeatedly while holding her around her neck and shoulders Monday. On Tuesday, the FTT revoked Hamou's accreditation for the prestigious French Open, while the organization's President Bernard Giudicelli has asked the disputes committee to investigate for improper conduct. "I want to offer my deepest apologies to Maly Thomas if she felt hurt or shocked by my attitude during her interview," Hamou wrote on his Instagram account. "The behaviour of the interviewee was highly inappropriate and we do not condone such conduct in any way." In quotes carried by the Huffington Post, Thomas said that if she "hadn't been live on air, I would have punched him." The incident happened after Hamou, who is ranked No. 287 in the world, had been knocked out of the first round in straight sets by Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas. Following a defeat, it's normal for players to still be allowed on site with their accreditation, though usually most would take off to prepare for their next tournament. |
