Ben Roberts-Smith incident

I removed the following from the Career section because I think it was given undue weight (and wasn't really very descriptive). ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 07:24, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the 28 February 2012 episode of The Circle, Negus, along with Yumi Stynes, made comments about a photo of Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, a Victoria Cross and Medal for Gallantry recipient, coming out of a swimming pool.^[1] After tabloid criticism,^[2] they personally contacted Roberts-Smith, who accepted their apology and agreed there was no malicious intent.^[3] Negus said his comments were taken out of context and he was not referring personally to Corporal Roberts-Smith.^[4]
On 13 September 2014, Fairfax newspapers issued an apology to Stynes and Negus, stating: "Our interpretation was wrong and we accept that both Mr Negus and Ms Stynes were not referring to Cpl Roberts-Smith personally."^[5]
News Limited publications, The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun and news.com.au also retracted the incorrect allegations.^[6]
