According to social media, what I have read both from Jon Wertheim and then Barbora Krejcikova who called him out, I posted her comments on this post just recently,
According to Jon Wertheim, he was rehearsing for a show via Zoom when he and his co-hosts were shown a graphic ( illustration) of a player who had just competed.It showed her at an angle that exaggerated her forehead. A few moments later, I was told to frame up my zoom, I looked at the low camera angle and joked that it made my forehead resemble the photo of the player in question.Someone in the control room chimed in a I bantered back, though this was a private rehearsel, this exchange inadvertently and without context made it to live air.
Wertheim said,
" I realize I am not the victim here. It was neither professional nor charitable not reflective of the person I strive to be.I am accountable.I own this. I am sorry"
Quite frankly my thoughts are it was a very unprofessional comment to make as a tennis journalist male or female,he thought he got away with his comments, when the exchange inadvertently went to live air.I am glad that Barbora Krejcikova called him out on it!
