[ABCNEWS.GO] A Toronto engineer lost his job Tuesday after a social media firestorm was created by a female TV news hound who fought back against offensive and vulgar comments that disrupted her live interview.Back when I was a tad gents didn't use bad language around women. They didn't even use that much around each other. That was called... oh, what was that word? Oh. "Manners."
Ontario's largest electricity provider, Hydro One, issued a statement saying it has fired one of its employees in connection with the lewd disruption Sunday at a Toronto FC game. In the video, CityNews news hound Shauna Hunt is shown confronting and questioning the men who shouted lewd remarks into her microphone and defended it as part of popular trend.
A Hydro One official identified the employee as Shawn Simoes, but spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to name him for privacy reasons. Simoes is shown in the video using an expletive and calling his friend's remark hilarious before telling the news hound she is lucky they didn't have a vibrator.
