Katherine Ryan admits she apologised to parent after calling out 'bully' child

ok.co.uk:

Katherine Ryan has admitted that she was once forced to apologise to a fuming parent after publicly calling out their son for "bullying".

Appearing on a recent episode of Mel Giedroyc's Unapologetic with her baby son, the 38 year old comedienne, who says she expects "backlash" to potty training eight month old Fred, hilariously recalled the awkward encounter. "There was a point in my life where I really felt like I wanted revenge against my daughter's bullies," Katherine began as she explained her decision to make the full name of the boy known.

She continued: "So I thought it was a funny angle to bully these children in my stand up.To talk about them, because to me, comedy is a lot about surprise.

So it's very surprising to have a sweet, looking young single mom slagging of a bunch of toddlers." Katherine said she told the story on her podcast because she "didn't expect" people would listen to it. "It was a crazy story, this child took the money tin that the teacher collected 50p in from every child on a Friday, and they would go to the tuck shop and get some sweets. "This child was such a genius that in an act against capitalism, I think, stole the money tin off the teacher's desk and sh** in it." Katherine added that because the child "bullied" her daughter Violet "quite aggressively", she thought she could "slag this kid off off". "If his parents don't like it, they can maybe sort the bullying out and give my child a good day at school." Offering further context to what the child did, Katherine added: "He got a bunch of accomplices. "He was so smart, he lured other children in the bathrooms, and they all peed on top of the poo in the money tin in the loos.
