More Female Journalists Reveal Chris Gayle’s Past Misbehaviors

“He does this constantly. He’s a creep, he has creepy behaviour,” said one Fox Sports reporter.

The storm surrounding star cricketer Chris Gayle over an attempt to flirt with an Australian presenter on live TV intensified today as new allegations about his behaviour towards women emerged.

Among the first to speak out, Fox Sports reporter Neroli Meadows branded the Jamaican a “creep”.

He does this constantly. He’s a creep, he has creepy behaviour. Sorry, I was totally distracted by your pretty face -- could you repeat the question?

Nine News reporter Yvonne Sampson said Gayle had also asked her on a date after watching her carry out an interview.

I had a notification via Twitter that Chris Gayle would like to take me out to dinner. I’d never met him. I think Chris Gayle is a known womaniser, and that’s a really awful word, but that’s what he is.

Gayle was fined US$ 7,000 on Tuesday for his approach to Network Ten reporter Mel McLaughlin. During the interview, Gayle said to McLaughlin, I “just to see your eyes for the first time”. “Don’t blush, baby,” the Jamaican added, before saying, “Sorry!” and breaking into a big laugh.

Gayle has since apologised and tried to brush off the exchange with McLaughlin as a harmless joke.
