23 complaints lodged after Ray D’Arcy’s ‘offensive’ Pamela Anderson interview

It has been revealed that RTÉ received 23 official complaints from viewers, following Ray D’Arcy’s interview with Pamela Anderson late last year.

The station admitted that the complaints were received through the RTÉ Complaints Department after the interview aired on the Ray D’Arcy Show last November.

Details obtained by the Herald, through a Freedom of Information request, reveal that viewers were disgusted with the alleged ‘sexual’ and ‘offensive/unprofessional’ nature of Ray’s comments towards the actress.

“All of those complaints concerned the alleged ‘sexual nature’ and ‘offensive/unprofessional’ nature of the comments made to Pamela Anderson on November 14, 2015.

“In response, RTE reassured complainants that their comments were noted and regretted that the complainants found this content to be disrespectful and/or inappropriate,” the FOI response read.
