I worked in an industry dominated by men and had to put up with girlie calendars, sexist jokes, harassment, and other similar nonsense as our generation fought to make this illegal in the workplace so everyone had respect. No one should demand that another person display or wiggle their behind during a sales presentation or have comments made on their behind's perceived "hotness." In a place of business it does not matter if the people involved are OK with this exchange, it is unacceptable; it has nothing to do with others being prudish or the participants just "having fun" and everything to do with respect.

 

Several Q hosts and vendors need some retraining. On one of his initial shows the Halston rep was so gaga over Amy it was uncomfortable to watch. And I admired Liam for speaking up when Albany called him her Australian Hunk and said "no, please do not call me that. I am here to tell the viewers about a great shoe."


@SunValley  Great comments!!! And now I have GREAT respect for Liam too!


ITA! I have been preaching this for over a year to no avail the same one's are allowed to be disrespectful, annoying, interrupting, dancing and prancing and looking like they came out of a cult with their make-up and hair choices. Hope your comments will draw some attention. Great post.                                            bamasec

I have complained about this host and her inappropriate antics to no avail. She thinks her made up vocabulary is cute, but I can assure her it isn't, just annoying. I am not sure which host coined the words "stinkin" cute," but I cringe every time I hear it. They all must think that one is cute because I have heard them ALL use that one. Now this host has taken to calling everything she is trying to sell as "sick."  Is that really the way QVC wants a product described...sick?  It's just another way of trying too hard to be cute and all it does is irritate people. I am also puzzled as to why they continue to let her dress in the manner she does....the last offensive one was the green strapless dress that looked inappropriate and unprofessional. I will no longer watch Monday nights because of her, period. QVC, how much longer are you going to let this go on?

Just occurred to me that maybe the workers are union and that's why they can't be managed.

I watch more QVC now that I am retired. I am confused as to why the management staff allow incidents like this occur. I am certainly not a prude. However, I do appreciate those hosts who do their jobs well. I have nothing against certain hosts.....however I am completely baffled that QVC allows Albany and Shawn to act t

the way they do. Inappropriate on so many levels....they are the two I do not...cannot watch. They really do think they are special and talk about buns a lot. That is what the consumer does....does not watch. Some have squeaky voices that grind at me but they do not act childish and say words that make no sense. And this has nothing to do with LR.  I do appreciate the professionalism of some of the long time hosts.....and a pro like David can be funny and goofy.....in good taste. Quit acting like teenagers and quit flirting, touching people and looking at yourselves. Two of the newer hosts...Jennifer and Rachael are funny and professional.....a joy to watch. I have seen a big change in Shawn.....over the past year. I use to like her but she is so over the top. Hopefully, QVC has a talk with her.

I would reach out to a couple of these hosts if I was in HR from Disneyworld or Disneyland. Their particular type of talent could be better utilized working for these places.

Stinkin Cute came from guess who? S.K. is a rebel as I have said before, and is not going to change until she is shown the door. I am like others, the minute I hear her voice the remote is in " control".

That's not going to happen.  It's obvious she's their top host.  Sorry
