Holly Valance Interrupted During Live TV Interview
Holly Valance recently stirred controversy during a live appearance on the UK television channel GB News. The singer and actress made headlines when she used a derogatory slur while comparing the Covid pandemic to a metric of intelligence.
Details of the Broadcast
During the segment on the show *Free Speech Nation*, Valance stated, “It was the ‘r*tard metre’. And Australia was quite high on that.” This remark quickly drew backlash, prompting both viewers and social media users to criticize her choice of words.
Immediate Reaction
- Valance did not issue an apology after being called out for the offensive term.
- She defended herself by asserting, “Hey, are we not Free Speech Nation over here?”

- “Maybe not a bad word but a disgusting one slandering intellectually disabled people.”
- “That comparison was rough, but using that word on TV feels unnecessary and dated.”
- “I think the peroxide from her hair has melted her tiny brain.”
New Music and Political Ties
This incident comes on the heels of Valance’s involvement in a controversial new song, “Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse,” which was released in collaboration with Australian politician Pauline Hanson. The song, aimed at mocking various social perspectives, quickly topped the iTunes Australia chart shortly after its launch, surpassing hits by other artists.
Lyrics and Content of the Song
The track’s lyrics include lines that challenge gender identity and traditional norms, sparking discussions about its impact on societal views:

Context of the Release
Released on Australia Day, the song serves as a promotion for Hanson’s film *A Super Progressive Movie*. The film critiques progressive ideologies through a narrative involving characters navigating beyond a metaphorical “Naarm Bubble.”
