A powerful obesity group is going to get their 15 minutes of fame now — lashing out at ESPN’s Britt McHenry.
The Obesity Action Coalition is demanding she personally apologize to the tow truck worker she berated over her physical appearance.
“It was wrong and very inappropriate,” says OAC honcho James Zervios.
The OAC says it’s aware of Britt’s Twitter apology — but says they group is demanding more action.
“Britt should apologize to the woman directly. I think the apology on Twitter was more about explaining herself to her employer and the people who follow her.”
“The fact remains she made a comment about someone’s weight. She wouldn’t have done that with any other disease. If she was battling cancer, she wouldn’t attack that. But she attacked her weight.”
