Ashleigh Banfield reads a nasty email the writer of the Aziz Ansari story sent attacking her looks

The Daily Beast

Banfield quoted Babe.net writer Katie Way’s email saying, “Ashleigh — someone I am certain nobody under the age of 45 has heard of — I hope the 500 retweets on the single news write-up made that burgundy lipstick, bad highlights, second-wave feminist has-been really relevant for a little while.” The HLN host says the reason she read the email was because “if you truly believe in the #MeToo movement, if you truly believe in women’s rights, if you truly believe in feminism, the last thing you should do is attack someone in an ad hominem way” for their age or their looks. Read the full email, in which Way also writes "I would NEVER go on your network. I would never even watch your network," No woman my age would ever watch your network. I will remember this for the rest of my career — I'm 22 and so far, not too shabby! And I will laugh the day you fold. If you could let Ashleigh know I said this, and that she is no-holds-barred the reason, it'd be a real treat for me."
