'Ryan Tubridy was like spoilt child before Oireachtas - but he may have won back some public favour'
A riled-up Ryan Tubridy came out swinging yesterday - revealing a side of him we’d never seen before.He showed media savvy with his catchy statement: “The seven untruths” of the RTE scandal.He started off sounding like JFK: “I’ve always believed in the importance of public service, I was brought up that way. I’m truly sorry for any part I have played consciously or unconsciously in this debacle.”
Such volatile outbursts look very similar to tantrums. And with Tubridy repeatedly looking back to agent Noel Kelly for answers, there was an element to his performance of that of a spoilt child. He talked about being “under siege” and how it was his “darkest hour, both personally and professionally” and claimed he had been “cancelled”.
It may have been a live show, but Tubs’ Oireachtas appearance seemed to me to be heavily rehearsed, between agent Noel Kelly filling in all the blanks and their solicitor jumping up and down with documents.
