Yeah, he’s a bit of an odd school make chauvinist pig, trotting out well worn cliches about “ugly girls” having to develop better personalities. He should probably just fuck off.

He should!

Eh?

You're not actually telling anyone what he said 🤦

PurpleLovecats · 15/04/2026 23:08

Are you 12? You seem incapable of following this thread. You’ve been asked multiple times what he said and not replied!

I had a google. Here is an article reporting what he said.

Boxer David Haye has come under fire for his comments about “ugly birds”.

He made the remarks on I’m A Celebrity South Africa when discussing his girlfriend Sian Osborne.

In a group chat with the rest of the camp, Haye said of Osborne: “She’s got a personality of a proper ugly bird.”

When fellow campmate Scarlett Moffatt told him “you can’t say that”, Haye continued: “Most ugly girls realise they’re not pretty enough… they’ve got to have a personality to banter and tell jokes to overlook that they’re not aesthetically amazing straight away.

“Most ugly girls realise they’ve got to have a personality, it’s called Ugly Duckling syndrome, when girls are ugly when they start off, they get pretty as they get older, but they’ve still got the personality of when they’re ugly.

“You get a girl who was pretty from day one, everyone tells her she’s amazing, so she grows up thinking ‘I’m amazing, everyone loves me, I can open up any door, I can go anywhere I want’. They don’t have to have a personality because most super pretty girls are idiots.

“But their ugly friend, they’ve got to work a bit harder. They’ve got to be more personable, they’ve got to be nicer to everyone.”

YABU to think an ex boxer on a trashy reality show will have liberal and high minded views about women.

It was like he didn’t even realise what he was saying was terrible tho

OP deliberately not answering questions and leaving a bit of bait. Becoming very prevalent and really boring.

As long as he doesn’t win

Don’t watch it, don’t like him but wasn’t he saying his girlfriend was the full package, good looking and with a great personality. In his world women only have one attribute or the other. I would say there was a crumb of truth in there if it applies to good looking people - male and female - that very good looking people rely on their looks to do the heavy lifting, whereas average looking people (or what David calls ugly) make more of an effort with their personality because they don’t have the looks to ease their path in life.

Tony Bellew does. He's an advocate for women in all sports. He has a lot of respect for women.
Posters can't really condem what DH has said, then use a stereotype themselves.

Bigknivesmakemenervous · 16/04/2026 01:18

It's immature and idiotic but he said far worse years ago when he said an upcoming fight with Audley Harrison would be "as one sided as a gang rape" 😡then refused to apologise following the backlash he received.

KhakiOrca · 16/04/2026 01:32

I think loads of men think like this. My DP said your girl can be really good looking and cant cook, or be really ugly and make a nice meal. Im thinking of getting rid as a make nice meals.
The men who say this stuff are shallow and insecure.

It was really awkward to watch

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 16/04/2026 07:08

There's a scene in American Psycho in which Bateman and his colleagues have this exact opinion.

TikTokker · 16/04/2026 07:12

Did you not consider that he’s said it on purpose to get column inches, he’s not silly is he? Controversy keeps him in there.

FiveMetresUp · 16/04/2026 07:19

A friend of mine in Dubai, a beautiful Russian girl, had a relationship with him. He treated her terribly.
