Watch Chris Gayle Offensive Comments On News Reporter Mel McLaughlin.
Gayle had just led the Melbourne Renegades to victory in a nationally televised Twenty20 match in Hobart on Monday when he was approached for an interview by Channel 10 reporter Melanie McLaughlin.
After suggesting that he had played well in order to get an interview with McLaughlin, the big-hitting batsman proceeded to direct personal comments towards her. "To see your eyes for the first time is nice," the 36-year-old said. "Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards. Don't blush baby." The comments were immediately condemned by the Big Bash League and Channel 10, who said McLaughlin had been angered and upset by the encounter.
