BOXER SAYS WOMEN SHOULD WEAR SKIRTS BELOW THE KNEE BECAUSE IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE
CONTROVERSIAL boxer Anthony Mundine says women shouldn’t wear skirts above the knee.
Speaking to camp mate Jackie Gillies in the South African jungle camp on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, the 42-year-old said the belief was a protection to stop “other men lusting over your women”.
“You want to protect your women,” Mundine said. “You don’t want other men having prerogative thoughts about your girl or your daughter.”
Mundine is Muslim and prior to going into the jungle told News Corp he doesn’t believe in homosexuality, abortion or contraception. He has seven children to four different women.
“She can wear a dress … not a short skirt, not above the knees. That is just the way I am, it is the way I feel, the way I think.”
He was asked by Gillies if it is right to tell “somebody what to do.”
“For their own good,” he responded. “Everything in society that the creator has made unlawful, the west are making it lawful. It doesn’t matter if we were born naked. There’s garments. That was back in that time. You don’t understand because you are not built like me, you wouldn’t understand a man’s point of view. You can’t understand.”
Later, Mundine told producers: “I’m not sure if I got through to her. I just had to let her know where I was coming from.”
As camp leader, a position appointed him by producers, Mundine had the job of allocating camp chores. In punishment for supporting rival Danny Green, Mundine chose comedians Fiona O’Loughlin and Peter Rowsthorn for dishwashing duties, while Jackie Gillies and Simone Holtznagel were given the job of collecting fire wood.
Shannon Noll was appointed Mundine’s deputy and Josh Gibson camp cook. And the boxer predictably gave the worst job to his enemy with ‘Dunny’ Green allocated toilet cleaning.
“When I was a young kid, I worked with a company that we dealt with a lot of sewage so this doesn’t bother me one bit,” Green responded. The journalist is in South Africa as a guest of Channel Ten covering I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
