A meteorologist lashed out at some fans ofThe Bachelorettein the wake of this week’s deadly storms.
After a tornado alert in Dayton, Ohio, interrupted Monday night’s regularly scheduled programming for some viewers,Fox45weatherman Jamie Simpson became enraged on live television after fans demanded the channel return to the ABC series.
“We have viewers complaining already,” Simpson said after seeing fans unhappy on social media over the interruption. ‘Just go back to the show.’ No, we’re not going back to the show, folks. This is a dangerous situation, OK?”
Simpson continued his tirade againstThe Bachelorettefans: “Think about if this was your neighborhood. I’m sick and tired of people complaining about this. Our job here is to keep people safe, and that is what we’re going to do,” he said.
“Some of you complained that this is all about my ego,” Simpson added. “Stop. It’s not. I’m done with you people, I really am, this is pathetic.”
AlthoughBachelorettefans were unhappy with missing out on some of Monday’s episode, this season’s leading lady,Hannah Brown, called on Bachelor Nation to heed Simpson’s warnings.
“Lolz too funny, thanks Dayton, Ohio for the love, but be safe. naders are no joke,” Brown, 24, tweeted.
Simpson’s argument to focus on possible tornados was for good reason, as according toAP News, one person has been killed, and 130 have been injured in twisters across the country. More than 50 tornados have touched down across eight states, including Ohio.
Early Tuesday morning, Montgomery County confirmedvia Twitterthat a “large and dangerous tornado touched down last night,” just outside Dayton. It completely leveled homes and entire buildings, leaving over 80,000 people without power, and affecting more than 5 million.
The city later issued a boil advisory for all water as well.
