There's gross. It's too bad they let him laugh about it. Shouldn't be a laughing matter at all.

Straight up groping her ass and then laughing it off like nothing bad happened, while the other presenters talk over it like it's already time to move on from what just happened.

Shit is happening right on camera and it gets a laugh. I guess it was so awkward but fuck.

You can tell Mel B had to take a beat considering whether she should call him out on it and it still didn't garner the reaction it should have.

This is from 2014. Interesting how blatant this is. Look how he twiddles his thumb as if thinking about going for it.

Edit: Holy crap, he even goes for a grab and shake

Yep, first puts his hand and waits for a reaction. Then thinks he's in the clear and palms her ass. I've seen this done many times.

Isn't Louis Walsh gay? Not trying to absolve him whatsoever, just sort of confusing more than anything.

But yeah, jfc, that is deeply unpleasant and abhorrently blatant.

the guy treated it like a normal way to act with someone, you rest your hand on their upper ass and give them little taps as you talk, like i dont even understand

Absurd that he thinks not only can he touch up his co-presenter, but that he can do it TV, and get away with it. Dude's a piece of shit. I saw him once actually.

However, the presenter, I don't think it's fair to condemn her for not diverting the show to that. It's live TV, it's tightly timed, and she's under a lot of pressure. There's a time for this discussion, which is now, I don't think it was live during the show. She had to make a tough call on the spot, and I'd say she was on the right.

Should have punched him on the spot

She shoulda smacked the fudge outta him.

Rumour is that Cera and Rihanna agreed to both do their respective slaps for real, and that Rih slapped him so hard he had to lie down for an hour :P Good sports.

Ah there it is. Somehow didn't see the actual thread for it and just ran into the gif and video in some other threads first... How does she not just immediately hit him when that starts happening? And then hit him some more when it continues?

Clip is four years old and the best we have is a camera recording of a television?

Glad Mel shut that shit down, Walsh obviously doesn't give a shit though.

Crazy how no one else really reproached him. It's also amazing that she ignored the taps, but he had to give it a little shake. Creep.

Old people seem more prone to doing stuff like this. Because they are from a different time and because they are too old to give a fuck if it lands them in trouble.
