Lebanese Woman Shut Downs Man Who Says Her Interview Is 'Beneath' Him

by Emily Arata

A Lebanese television host insulted by a male guest wasn't about to take his disrespect on air.

Presenter Rima Karaki shut down Muslim academic Hani al-Seba'i during a live interview in which he told her to "shut up" and explained speaking with her was "beneath" him.

In a clip that since went viral, Karaki wastes no time arguing with a man unwilling to give her the respect she deserves as a peer.

It's especially fitting because the video emerged just in time for International Women's Day on March 8.

After this, male guests will surely think twice before trying to bad-mouth Karaki.
