Amanda Harper, the BBC news presenter, found herself at the center of a social media storm after being viciously trolled for wearing what critics described as “unflattering and far too tight” leather trousers. But instead of backing down, Amanda hit back at the cruel comments in a defiant video, showcasing her outfit once again, insisting: “They’re staying!”
The drama started when Amanda, 52, posted a picture on Instagram of her outfit ahead of her appearance on BBC Look North in February, wearing the leather trousers paired with a blouse. The backlash was swift and intense, with followers labeling the look “horrible,” “terrible,” and even calling her “mutton dressed as lamb.” The presenter, however, stood firm, explaining she was making “a nod to the nineties.”
While some of her followers rushed to her defense, calling her “gorgeous,” “beautiful,” and “fabulous,” the negative comments kept pouring in. Undeterred, Amanda responded with a cheeky video, proudly wearing the trousers again, declaring they were staying in her wardrobe.
In the video, Amanda shared some of the hurtful comments she received but also thanked her supporters, saying, “I’m delighted that lovely people outnumber the not so lovely. Thank you for the reminder. The trousers live on. In fact, I might even wear them more often.”
Her followers rallied behind her once again, with many encouraging her to “keep wearing them,” as one fan commented, “You look fabulous. Keep rocking it!” Another supporter added, “You dress to please yourself, not the haters.”
This bold move comes as BBC fans also say goodbye to Carol Kirkwood, another beloved TV personality, after her emotional retirement announcement. But as Amanda Harper’s leather trousers continue to spark debates, she’s proven that she’s not backing down, no matter what the critics say.
