“Oh My God, You’d Never Say That To A Man!”: Hannah Waddingham Just Called Out A Photographer’s Seriously Misogynistic Comment To Her At The Oliviers
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
In October, Hannah Waddingham got seriously real about her experience with sexism throughout her career, and how she learned at an early age that it is always important to publicly call out problematic behavior.
“I learned this from an early age from my father, Harry, a very traditional, truly English gentleman,” she went on to explain.
And on Sunday night, fans got to see this side of Hannah in action in a seriously impressive display on a red carpet.
Last night, Hannah returned to London’s Royal Albert Hall to host the ceremony for the second year in a row, but as she posed for photographers before heading into the venue, she heard one of them make a comment that didn’t sit well.
While the exact comment isn’t audible in the video, Hannah’s reaction is. The beloved star was clearly stunned by the request, and quickly pointed out: “Oh my god, you’d never say that to a man!”
Sharing the video to X, formerly known as Twitter, late Sunday night, the fan explained: “long story short: hannah was being her gorgeous self and the 📸 made some comment about her leg we couldn't quite make out and... well, the video speaks for itself. This woman is a role model. Always, always call pricks out on their bullshit.”

Earlier in the evening, the same fan had tweeted: “i not only saw hannah waddingham but i saw hannah waddingham being pissed at an asshole misogynistic prick photographer and calling him off on it and i never yelled MOTHER so loud.”
Needless to say, Hannah’s reaction to the photographer has been widely praised, with many crediting the star for walking away from the situation after the misogynistic comment.
