Hilary Barry Responds to Paul Henry's Recent Controversial Interview

Hilary Barry was quick to bring up Paul Henry's controversial weekend interview this morning in a not-so-subtle dig at her former co-star.

Henry sparked outrage in a Canvas feature story published on Saturday in which he ogled a woman seated next to her and commented on her "perfect titties".

His comments caused Lizzie Marvelly to cancel her appearance on Paul Henry this morning.

While she didn't mention him by name, Henry's former co-presenter Hilary Barry mentioned the interview during this morning's Breakfast broadcast when she thanked her male co-stars Jack Tame, Sam Wallace and Daniel Faitaua.

"Can I say how lovely it is for me to work with three such kind, caring men, so respectful of women," she said.

"Just spare a thought for other women who are turning up on other breakfast shows this morning who don't get to work with guys like you. Enough said."

Barry presented the news alongside Henry on TV3's morning news show for a year before her shock departure in May after 23 years at the network.
