TORONTO (NEWS1130) – The Hydro One employee fired over a confrontation with CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt last weekend has apologized for his actions.
In a story that touched a nerve around the world, Hunt confronted a group of men about their apparent plans to use “f— her right in the p—-” vulgarities at a Toronto FC soccer game on Sunday.
One of the men, Shawn Simoes, used offensive language during their exchange and was fired after CityNews aired the video.
On Friday, Simoes sent Hunt a written apology, which she accepted.
“I appreciate Shawn reaching out with what I felt was a very genuine apology,” Hunt said.
“I was happy to accept it.”
Simoes told Hunt he intended the apology to be a personal note to her. To respect that, she won’t release exactly what was said.
