What? Derryn Hinch Insulting And Upsetting People? You, Sir, Are Clearly A Liar!
9:28AM Clem Bastow | If there’s one constant in this fickle, fickle world of ours, it’s that Derryn Hinch will, without fail, find the time to insult, upset and scandalise those around him. And he’s particularly fond, it seems, of doing this when the object of his waffling is no longer around to defend themselves.
To wit, he’s now sounding off about what he sees as the cause of his late 3AW colleague Clinton Grybas’ sad and sudden death earlier in the year at the age of 35. Naturally, Grybas’ family (and no doubt doctors) have refuted Hinch’s soundbites.
All together now: DERRRYYYYYNN!
The family of football commentator Clinton Grybas has lashed out at radio host Derryn Hinch after he announced his former 3AW colleague died from a food allergy and heart condition.
The talented Victorian sport broadcaster’s parents angrily denied the allergy claim.
Yesterday, an upset Sandra Grybas insisted the exact cause of her son’s death remained a mystery. Mrs Grybas said a coroner had painted a possible scenario, but she declined to divulge the information.
“It’s all rumour and innuendo, and we have nothing to say,” she said.
Grybas father, Vic, said: “The coroner found it was unable to be ascertained.”
Mr Hinch reported a coroner had found the combined effects of an allergy to something he ate or drank the night before and a faulty heart valve had claimed Grybas’s life.
Oh but isn’t it clear, you guys? Derryn IS the coroner! He knows EVERYTHING!
Seriously, Hinchy – don’t you think cruising the obituaries for material is a bit… naff? Particularly when they were your colleagues! Heaven forbid he actually talk about things that are, you know, current and not to do with speculation and innuendo. More »
John Laws Is Softening In His Old Age
12:51PM Clem Bastow | Looks like retirement is agreeing with old Golden Tonsils; not long after he spewed abuse at lunching peers Bob Rogers and Derryn Hinch, the recently retired talkback king has written a note of apology to the pair.
Honestly, what’s next? Pauline Hanson writing an open letter in the Women’s Weekly to the general Asian population? John Howard saying sorry?
“Bob. Just a brief note in relation to the incident that occurred while you were dining with Derryn Hinch at Salon Blanc,” he wrote.
“I would like to say that I regret my language. I don’t, however, regret my sentiments as I believe I have perfectly good reason for them but the language was extreme, and for that I apologise. John Laws.”
The letter follows an incident at a Woolloomooloo restaurant when Laws hurled abuse at his radio rivals, including “despicable weasel” and “c**ts”.
Well, we’re pleased to see that he’s only apologising for using the word “c**t”, but not for wanting to use it.
Looks like the old Lawsie hasn’t left the building just yet. More » Golden Tonsils To Derryn Hinch – “You’re A Despicable C—!”
7:32AM Jess McGuire | It seems retirement is really agreeing with John Laws – he’s finally free to say what he feels how he likes whenever the mood takes him. And running into fellow radio star Derryn Hinch in a Sydney restaurant yesterday proved the perfect opportunity for some straight talkin’…
Hinch said Laws barged into the restaurant, leaned on the table where he was lunching with radio legend Bob Rogers, and barked: “You two are both despicable c—s.”
“He was so bitter. Reptilian is the word I would use to describe him,” Hinch said.
Reptilian, eh Derryn? Do go on…
Hinch said Laws’s verbal assault took him by surprise.
Laws: “Look at you, you’re a failed alcoholic.”
Hinch: “I guess you’re a successful one.”
Laws: “No, I’m not.”
Hinch: “Then you’re a good actor.”
Laws: “You’re such a hypocrite.”
Hinch: “I don’t think you can talk about people being hypocritical.”
Laws: “When have I been hypocritical?”
Hinch: “Take ‘cash for comment’ for starters.”
Hinch said the confrontation ended when Carlton convinced Laws to leave.
Good old Mike Carlton – truly the United Nations of radio jocks.
We hope this is just the first target in Lawsie’s post-radio career hitlist. Bring on verbal fisticuffs directed toward Alan Jones and Steve Price, says Defamer Australia! More »
