Fox News Anchor Stupidly Calls Andi a "Slut"

by Lia Beck

Now that The Bachelorette has ended, you would think thoughts of Andi, Nick, and Josh would be out of your mind forever (or at least until the televised wedding), but that's not the case. A huge media frenzy always comes after The Bachelor/ette ends, and while this usually consists of the usual magazine interviews and talk show appearances, a surprising (and idiotic) person has decided to put in his two cents. Fox News' Bob Beckel called Andi Dorfman a slut because he is a co-host on The Five — a show where five people yell random crap at each other and speak before thinking about what they're saying, instead of reporting the news.

Somehow through this festival of people interrupting one another, someone was able to discern that Beckel did, in fact, call Dorfman a slut when the group was talking about Nick Viall bringing up the fact that he felt led on by Andi because she had sex with him when he was under the impression they were in love. Beckel explained his opinion in the worst way possible, which is to say, not explaining it at all because, apparently, he prefers to just randomly call women sluts without reason. According to Us Weekly, Beckel said on the show, "She's a slut! I'm not kidding you. She sleeps with someone else, and then doesn't tell the guy about it. This is what America's come to, this crap."

Fox News: always there to tell you what America's come to.

Thankfully, for possibly the first time in history, everyone on Fox wasn't on the same page and one of Beckel's co-anchors called him out for being, well, a dumbass. Andrea Tantaros, said to Beckel "Are you kidding me right now? Excuse me, Bob! You probably sleep with a different woman every night."

Then Beckel was all, "I'm not on some Bachelor, Bachelorette." Great defense, dude. Not being on reality TV, totally means that you can sleep around, but god forbid a lady on a reality show sleep with a man she is dating.

So then Tantaros was like, "Those in glass boudoirs, Beckel, those in glass boudoirs!" Booyah!

Seriously, though, was Beckel was totally out of line? Absolutely. But am I surprised? Absolutely not. As I see it, the world is just waiting for close-minded and thoughtless people like Beckel to go extinct. And in the meantime, we just hide them all at Fox News.
