Italian TV host apologises for mimicking Asians after her actions drew protests on social media

A Swiss-Italian television host drew social media ire for mimicking Asians on a satirical TV program. After her actions drew protests on social media, Michelle Hunziker apologized publically on Wednesday by sharing a video on Instagram. Hunziker and co-host Gerry Scotti made slanted-eye gestures and mimicked an Asian accent on the TV show “Striscia la Notizia” (“The News Crawls”) aired by the private Italian network Mediaset.
