Emilia Clarke Insulted By TV CEO In Front Of Game Of Thrones Fans

Emilia
Clarke,
who
is
known
for
her
role
of
Daenerys
Targaryen
in
the
show

Games
of
Thrones,
was
recently
insulted
by
an
Australian
television
company
Foxtel’s
chief
executive
officer
Patrick
Delany.
Before
the
screening
of
HBO’s

GOT
spinoff
series,

House
of
the
Dragon
on
Tuesday,
Delany
made
some
distasteful
comments
about
the
actress.

According
to
the
Australian
news
outlet
Crikey
report,
Patrick
Delany
recently
watched

GOT
and
while
referring
to
Daenerys,
he
said,
“I
was
like,
‘What’s
this
show
with
the
short,
dumpy
girl
walking
into
the
fire?’”
Well,
he
apparently
attempted
a
joke,
but
he
cracked
it
in
front
of
Game
of
Thrones
fans.

Film
Critic
Travis
Johnson
reacted
to
Delany’s
comment
and
tweeted,
“Yeah,
I
was
there
for
this,
and
turned
to
my
mate
for
clarification
as
I
simply
didn’t
believe
someone
would
say
that
on
mic.”

After
Delany’s
comment,
Foxtel’s
spokesperson
issued
a
statement
and
apologised
for
the
same.
The
statement
read,
“The
aim
was
to
convey
that
for
him,
‘Games
of
Thrones‘
was
something
very
different
for
television
in
2011
and
that
Emilia
Clarke
went
from
relatively
unknown
to
one
of
the
most
recognized
and
most-loved
actors
in
television
and
film.
On
behalf
of
Mr
Delany,
the
Foxtel
Group
apologizes
if
his
remarks
were
misunderstood
and
caused
any
offense.”

Well,
we
must
say,
Patrick
Delany’s
comment
might
have
disappointed
not
only

GOT
fans
who
love
Emilia
Clarke
as
Daenerys
Targaryen;
but
also
others
as
Clarke
is
known
as
one
of
the
sweetest
and
down
to
earth
celebrities.
