Here we have a coalition against violence against women entirely unconcerned that the person they're defending quite unapologetically used neo-Nazi-type antisemitic tropes against Jewish women, that have directly inspired murder & violence. Huh.

I mean, it's no big deal if people are antisemitic. Never causes violence or death to women, if people say and think Jews control money and have all the power like Kelechi did. https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/jewish-chaplains-daughter-punched-and-kicked-in-anti-semitic-attack/

Nah, comments like "fat Jews...demanding their pound of flesh" Kelechi made, not just not apologising but publicly abusing the journalist Rosa Doherty for *privately & politely raising it with her* never feed into violence against Jewish women, do they? https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-woman-70-injured-in-london-anti-semitic-attack/

No, the kind of comments that Kelechi made, doubled down on, never apologised for, never play cause violence against women. Huh.

Is this that irony thing people keep talking about again?

Here's @Emmabarnett's clear account of what happened this morning. Kelechi was confronted with her bigoted words and given a right of reply. Far more fairness than Kelechi ever afforded @Rosa_Doherty when she went public to troll her. Definitely irony... https://twitter.com/Emmabarnett/status/1346819404517044226

Addendum, a correction. Ms Okafor actually disagreed with fatphobia in Reggie Yates' remarks. My profuse apologies. Her words were, in fact:
"He didn’t say anything wrong. They are taking most of the profits. Apart from the ‘fat part’ I don’t see what he said wrong."
