Babe tells how son is trolled
®
KATE Price used the N-word twice on telly yesterday to describe how trolls bully her disabled son Harvey.
The angry mum-of-five said: “Is it strong enough to call my son a black blind n ***** , is that not abuse? They called him a golli***, that’s my son, is that acceptable?”
Kate was on This Morning to talk about her campaign and petition to stop online bullying, which has been signed by more than 200,000 people.
But her language shocked viewers and hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby as she reeled off racial slurs used against the 14-year-old.
Phil immediately warned her not to use the terms.
He said: “It is deeply, deeply offensive language and people will be offended by the fact it’s been said on here.”
But within minutes, Kate said: “Calling my son a n ***** isn’t acceptable.
“You can all have banter and take the mickey. I’m not taking away freedom of speech, but there is a point where something should be done.”
Phil then stepped in with a wave of the finger and said: “You don’t need to say it again.”
Angry viewers were also taken aback. One tweeted: “I’m sorry but that is out of order and there is no place for that kind of language at 11am on national television.”
But Kate posted a video online saying: “Yes I did use the word n ***** because that’s what people call my son.
“They call him a blind n ***** , black s ***** c, they call him a golli*** so I’m glad I’ve made headlines using that word because I want to get it out there that it’s not acceptable.”
