“I’m a big boy, I can look after myself”: Steve Price says The Project didn’t bully him

Steve Price was on The Project on Monday and told everyone did not feel victimised by the TV panel show despite a petition signed by thousands claiming otherwise.

Steve Price was on The Project on Monday and told everyone did not feel victimised by the TV panel show after he went head to head with guest Jamila Rizvi following Donald Trump’s shock presidential win.

Thousands of people signed a petition demanding The Project apologise to the conservative commentator after they claim “a friendly discussion quickly turned nasty” when Price was interrupted by fellow journalist Rizvi who called his notion of a ‘real America’ voting Trump in “bullsh-t”.

“Can I say something upfront,” Price said at the beginning of last night’s show.

“A lot of people have been outraged on my behalf today. Someone started a petition that I know nothing about, media have been reporting stories I have been somehow bullied on this show last Wednesday night, the election special.

“I don’t feel I was bullied at — bullied at all. I’m a big boy, I can look after myself, let’s get on with the program.”
