Naga Munchetty has called out a troll who described her as “that Asian bird.”
The BBC Breakfast presenter, 45, responded to a message on Twitter which also criticised her on-air outfit choices.
“I never understand why Charlie has to wear a formal business suit and that Asian bird seems to be able to wear whatever the hell she wants?” a Twitter user named Paul wrote.
Munchetty simply answered with an exasperated “Oh Paul.”
Replying to another, now-deleted message, apparently also sent by a social media user named Paul, Munchetty provided “three suggestions” to improve his Twitter account.
“1. Add a picture of yourself to your Twitter profile,” she wrote. “3. I’ll leave you to guess this one.”
Munchetty’s comebacks were met with support from her Twitter followers, who praised her “professional” demeanour and “fantastic” interviewing style.
“I was just thinking this morning - and actually every morning you are on that… a) you do a fantastic job when you are presenting and especially when interviewing (Alok Sharma today prime example!) and b) you always look amazing,” one follower wrote.
Another added: “Naga, you have amazing style! I love seeing what you wear in the morning, especially your shoes! Just ignore the man who isn’t brave enough to have a photo on his profile! You rock!”
Earlier this year, Munchetty was applauded for her takedown of a troll who criticised her choice of footwear.
After a Twitter user questioned why she “feel[s] the need to wear high-heeled shoes like these on a BBC TV breakfast news programme,” she immediately hit back with “Because I want to.”
