A day after comparing her black co-host to a gorilla, an Oklahoma TV presenter apologized to him.
Alex Housden told his colleague, Jason Hackett, that a gorilla at the Oklahoma City Zoo “looks like you.” This was reported on Thursday, at the end of a program on KOCO-TV, a CNN affiliate.
Hackett has accepted her apologise. Housden made the remark last Thursday during a segment on an ape whose handler was running the local zoo’s Instagram for the day.

When a video of a baby gorilla appeared on screen, Housden, who is white, turned to her black co-anchor, Jason Hackett, and said that the ape “kind of looks like you,” NBC reported.
