Katherine Ryan Discusses Male Violence and Safety

Comedian Katherine Ryan revealed at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards that she has not exercised in over 40 years due to the 'threat of male violence'. During her speech, she humorously critiqued celebrity weight loss trends, specifically referencing rumors about Christina Aguilera's use of Ozempic, stating, 'Can't I just be a feminist who steals medication from Type 2 diabetics to transform myself into Christina Aguilera?'. Ryan also addressed the ongoing sexual assault case involving Sean 'Diddy' Combs, highlighting alarming statistics that 800,000 women are victims of sexual assault in the UK each year. While hosting the event, she took a jab at a 'dangerous male comic', alluding to Russell Brand, who has faced serious allegations of misconduct, which he denies. Ryan suggested that her past experiences with male colleagues prompted them to seek reassurance that she wasn't referring to them as predators. Her candid remarks and humor aimed to spotlight serious issues concerning women's safety and the culture surrounding sexual misconduct.
