Miquita reprimanded for swearing at Ke$ha
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 March 2010
T4 presenter Miquita Oliver got herself in a bit of trouble after swearing at Ke$ha backstage at the NME Awards last month.
Ke$ha’s people apparently complained to Channel 4, which resulted in Oliver apologising to the singer. Most reports say that the presenter has been suspended, though the official statement on the matter doesn’t seem to corroborate that.
A source told The Mirror: “Miquita was having a really bad day. She blurted out the angry words and thought no one had heard her. She didn’t mean anything personally, it was a spur of the moment thing. But Ke$ha’s team caught it and were outraged.They complained to Miquita’s bosses who dealt with her straight away. She was given a serious telling off, and told to take some time off”.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 confirmed yesterday that the matter had been dealt with, but denied that Oliver was being taken off air.
They said: “Miquita Oliver was involved in an issue at the NME Awards that she now regrets. The matter has been dealt with swiftly by T4, and Miquita has also sent an apology to those concerned and it has been noted. She will remain a key part of our T4 presenting team and viewers will see her on air as normal over the coming weeks”.
No one seems to know what it was that Miquita called Ke$ha, which forces me to speculate. Here are my guesses (it was definitely one of these): “Cunt sack”, “fuck bollock”, “shit ear” or “cock weasel”.
