Jodie Turner-Smith Graham Norton

She spoke over people, fawned all over Taylor Swift, kept looking at the camera and pouting… it was embarrassing.

It provided great entertainment, that one. I really can't help but smh at some of the ridiculousness.

I thought the exact same, I’d never seen her interviewed before and was surprised at how unlikeable she came across. And so much name dropping.

My SIL is unambiguously black. She’s better looking than JTS. Am I allowed to have that opinion?

I agree. She didn't speak nearly as much as Greta Lee, didn't strike poses any more than Taylor Swift, and was either cracking jokes or saying nice things about other people.

There’s a particular sort of collective neck twitch that happens on Mumsnet when a woman is all three: stunning, successful and unambiguously Black. Commenters start qualifying their praise or picking apart tiny things, like they can’t quite process it.

They’re fine with mixed race or ethnically ambiguous Zendaya type beauty, but once it’s someone like Anok Yai or Jodie, the tone changes. Suddenly she’s “not that special”, or they start hedging the language, qualifying their admiration, or shifting the conversation to something else entirely. There was a thread about Anok earlier this year that went properly odd. Think I’ll try to dig it up.

She spoke less than anyone else and you found her the most annoying? That is bloody weird.

She had a slightly odd manner at times but was quite funny, didn’t speak over anyone, in fact she spoke slightly less than some of the other guests, wasn’t louder than the other guests and she didn’t look at the camera any more than Greta Lee did.

Nope not seeing that at all

You are welcome. It is simply the only suitable response for bad faith, tiresome accusations of racism. Either that or just ignore but I made the effort and gave you a 💤

She’s a dickhead who’s had a lot of concessions because of how beautiful she is.

One of the most ridiculously beautiful women ever☺️.

Oh at long last! I wasn’t sure who she was! But bloody hell she behaved appallingly. I watched it thinking “shut up you rude cow!” And what was all the pouting and checking the cameras? It was excruciating - I did wonder if she was high.

Apparently she kept asking Taylor Swift if she and Travis Kelce are planning babies and they had to cut it out of the final edit

thanks for engaging

She is so beautiful that she can literally do whatever she wants, as far as I’m concerned. Ridiculously stunning woman.
