Leslie Horton with the most succinct reply to viewer email trolling I've ever heard.

A Canadian news anchor is receiving a huge amount of public support for the way she handled a rude viewer email that shamed her weight and clothing choices.

Last week, Global News Calgary anchor Leslie Horton took a moment to address the rude viewer and educate folks about why they should never comment about how someone looks.

“I’m just going to respond to an email that I just got saying, ‘Congratulations on your pregnancy; if you’re going to wear old bus driver pants, you have to expect emails like this,'” she said on air.

“No, I’m not pregnant. I actually lost my uterus to cancer last year, and this is what women of my age look like. So, if it’s offensive to you, that is unfortunate. Think about the emails you send,” she continued.

A viral TikTok version led Global Calgary to post it to Twitter.
