>Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany described Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke as a “short, dumpy girl” at the premiere of the long-awaited prequel series House of the Dragon, shocking attendees.
>Delany made the comments during a speech before the screening of the first episode of the series at the Sydney premiere at the Entertainment Quarter. The long-time Foxtel executive retold how he was late to start watching Game of Thrones.
>“I was like, ‘What’s this show with the short, dumpy girl walking into the fire?'” he said.
>According to two attendees, the response to the comment was cold. >“It felt like he was expecting us to laugh along but people in the room were obviously shocked by it,” one said.
>A Foxtel Group spokesperson told Crikey that Delany’s comments were meant to be self-deprecating and light-hearted: “The aim was to convey that for him, Games of Thrones was something very different for television in 2011 and that Emilia Clarke went from relatively unknown to one of the most recognised and most-loved actors in television and film,” they said.

Yea I waifu her but in no way is he wrong. She has a face like Elizabeth Taylor and the body of a Hobbit. Hard to get made when she could fix it with some basic exercise and diet changes but she won't.
Joshua Walker
His fault for forgetting to hide his power level.

It's talk like this that made her think she was fat (she was) and had to lose loads of weight (she didn't). For shame.
John Lewis
This. He's not wrong but it's incredibly stupid to say that in a speech given to NPCs.

Only a homo would make fun of peak Emilia. She was literally the most desirable woman on the planet.
Pretty rude jcomment Imagine her saying "yea this balding manlet walked into the meeting" about some guy. All the incels here would be raging about what a bitch she was. By all accounts she seems like a nice person. never hear horror stories of her being a a turbo-bitch. Lotta women deserve to be knocked down a peg way more than Clarke So he just comes off as a bully faggot, not some guy "speaking truth to power" or some shit.
Cooper Martinez
It's the truth though, and she is a bad actress

Emilia was fucking hot for the first 5 seasons. That guy must be a fag or something.
