Lara Spencer is in the hot seat.
Lara Spencer must not know how sensitive Americans have become, especially when it comes to gender roles nowadays, because she really fucked up when she made an “insensitive” comment about Prince George.
Last week, on Thursday, Prince William disclosed that his son, Prince George, was falling in love with the age-old dance ballet. Now, before we get into what Lara said, it’s important the note that male dancers have always been judged. Some are even labeled homosexual because ballet is typically considered a feminine art.

Lara blurted out insensitive words on television without thinking. She made the comment about Prince William and faced backlash from viewers. Later, she apologized, but people find it forced and insincere. She acknowledged her mistake, saying her comment about dance was stupid and she’s deeply sorry. Lara has spoken with members of the dance community and learned about the courage it takes for young boys to pursue a dance career.
The Blast obtained one critic’s opinion of Lara’s apology:
“She’s a bully. That’s the part that’s the most troubling. Bullies only apologize when they’re scared they will lose something.”

The critic might be right. Although Lara apologized, she’d probably never let her son join a ballet school. And even though she had a discussion with three male professional dancers, it was probably all for show.
