Comedian and Oscars red carpet reporter Hannah Berner offended social media users this weekend with a comment she made to rapper Megan Thee Stallion while interviewing her at an Oscars after-party.While doing red carpet reporting for Vanity Fair, Berner gushed over the star’s music, stating that it makes her feel like fighting.

However, the line was deemed offensive by a variety of TikTok users.“Very micro aggressive. Megs music isn’t about fighting and the fangirling is a spectacle.

Please hire real interviewers that know how to talk to black women as PEOPLE and not characters,” one of the top comments on Vanity Fair’s TikTok post on the interview stated.Berner conducted the interview alongside her “Giggly Squad” podcast co-host, Paige DeSorbo, on Sunday.

The former reality TV stars — both have been featured in Bravo’s ‘Summer House’ — marveled over the pop star’s look, confidence, and her music.“No, your music has literally like, made me want – when I want to fight someone, I listen to your music,” the red-carpet host said.
