‘Ashley Cain: Into The Danger Zone’ Axed After ‘Completely Unacceptable’ Tweets Resurface
Another day, another famous person who forgot to delete their old Tweets, with TV personality Ashley Cain well and truly cancelled this week after The Guardian did some digging on his X account.
The “investigation” (literally just going through his X account) uncovered numerous Tweets made by Cain between 2011 and 2015 that contained abusive, misogynistic, and violent language towards women.
Among the Tweets:
- “The only thing desperate around here is your pictures with your s*** t***. Now suck a d*** and f*** off”
- “D* f* her and her big mouth, spit in her face and then f*** her off”
- “I DO NOT.. I repeat I DO NOT think EVERY girl is a s***! There are some absolute PHENOMENAL women out there.. They’re just a rare commodity”
- “Would have to choke slam her real quick”
The Guardian took the Tweets to the BBC who immediately removed planned repeats of season one of Ashley Cain: Into the Danger Zone from its schedules.
They have now also cancelled the unreleased second series of the show, which had already been filmed. What a waste of time and money!
The BBC has admitted that the production company’s social media vetting process “clearly failed”, and they have also permanently deactivated Cain’s X/Twitter account from its networks and cut all ties.
What can you say really? We already know there’s no statute of limitations when it comes to words you write online, and your entire social media history better be squeaky clean going back to childhood if you want to make it in the public eye.
Unfortunately for Cain, he wrote a bunch of outrageously stupid stuff on X over 10 years ago and neglected to wipe it clean once he got his own TV show, and he’s now lost his career with the BBC because of it.
Interestingly, season 1 of Into The Danger Zone remains on iPlayer… for now.
For the time Right Said Fred complained that they were ‘cancelled’ 35 years after their only hit record, click HERE.
