The woman who attended the event expressed her anger, stating, "I just found that deeply disrespectful to [the BSL interpreter] and her profession. They're not there as a source of entertainment."
Wallace's behavior was labeled sexist and rude by attendees, with one saying, "It was like he could control her, I suppose," highlighting a troubling dynamic of power during the live event.
After the incident, Wallace dismissed the complaint when he responded to the attendee on social media, asking if she was joking about the inappropriate comments he made.
A BBC spokesperson emphasized, "The BBC takes complaints seriously and has robust processes to deal with them," but provided no details on the incident at hand.
