UK Comedian Dawn French Apologizes For “Clumsy Tone In One-Sided Gaza Video”


The star of The Vicar of Dibley had posted a video in which critics said she mocked the October 7 2023 Hamas attack.

The 40-second video posted earlier this week showed the star of BBC sitcom The Vicar of Dibley share her views on the conflict, saying “Complicated, no, but nuanced. French said that she had posted a video in the style that she has been using for social media “in an effort to convey an important point”, although she added that she had “clumsily used a mocking tone.” “My intention was NEVER to mock, or dismiss, or diminish the horror of what happened on 7 October 2023 and what continues to unfold from that brutal unthinkable, unforgiveable, savage attack.”
