Miquita Oliver Suspended for Insulting Ke$ha

A report from the UK’s ITN, which further explains what happened at the NMEs.

British TV host Miquita Oliver has been proverbially wrapped over the knuckles for insulting one-hit-wonder, Ke$ha. For one reason or another the nobody, quasi-singer was an attendee at the NME awards. The singer and host sat down for an interview, which can be viewed below. Afterward, no doubt feeling her brain melting out of her ears after suffering through such an asinine interview, Oliver said a naughty swear about Ke$ha. Sucks for her that the singer’s people overheard, and complained to her bosses at TV’s Channel 4; 4 being a channel with whom Oliver has been employed for nine years, though she’s only 25-years-old. After the cursing, at the February 2010 awards, and Ke$ha’s people making the complaint, Channel 4 issued this spineless statement. They further clarify the issue, and explain that Oliver had been forced to apologies.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 has confirmed the suspension, explaining, “Miquita Oliver was involved in an issue at the NME awards that she now regrets. The matter has been dealt with swiftly by T4. Miquita has also sent an apology to those concerned and it has been noted.” [Starpulse]
