Comic accused of committing racist ‘micro aggression’ towards Megan Thee Stallion during red carpet interview

Comedian and Oscars red carpet reporter Hannah Berner offended social media users this weekend with a comment she made to rapper Megan Thee Stallion while interviewing her at an Oscars after-party.
While doing red carpet reporting for Vanity Fair, Berner gushed over the star’s music, stating that it makes her feel like fighting. However, the line was deemed offensive by a variety of TikTok users.
“Very micro aggressive. Megs music isn’t about fighting and the fangirling is a spectacle. Please hire real interviewers that know how to talk to black women as PEOPLE and not characters,” one of the top comments on Vanity Fair’s TikTok post on the interview stated.
