Sun Dec 08 22:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Erin Andrews Slams Ageist Critic with Witty Clapback After Thanksgiving Day Interview
**NEW YORK** – Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews expertly deflected ageist criticism this week, turning a viewer’s harsh comment about her appearance into a viral moment. Following a Thanksgiving Day interview with Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, an X user commented that Andrews, 46, was “too old” and that her wrinkles were visible in high-definition. The user suggested it was time for a younger replacement.
Andrews responded with a confident and witty retort on X: “Don’t even think you need HD to see them. But appreciating you pointing them out bud!”
The response garnered widespread support from fans and fellow journalists. Country musician Cooper Wade praised Andrews’ professionalism, stating, “You are still beautiful, but more importantly, you are very, very good at your job.” Sports Illustrated journalist Tom Brew added, “Erin is terrific at her job, and it’s not about age. It’s about wisdom, and you have none.”
This isn’t the first time Andrews has faced ageist and misogynistic comments. She recently recounted an incident on her podcast, “Calm Down,” where a social media user attributed her sweaty appearance during a Florida NFL game to hot flashes. Andrews responded sharply, emphasizing the intense heat as the reason for her appearance.
Andrews’ confident response to the latest criticism has been widely celebrated as a powerful example of pushing back against ageism in the media.
