Reporter Calls Shania Twain a "Tramp", Saying She Should Have Dressed More Conservatively

Did you read that right? Yes, you certainly did.

A reporter with The Montreal Gazette called Shania Twain a “tramp” when referring to how the singer dressed for her Grey Cup performance.

The Tweet has since been taken down, but someone grabbed a screenshot of course..

The reporter later Tweeted “Didn’t mean to offend anyone about Shania Twain, but way too much makeup and should have dressed more conservatively.”..

Shania has been praised for her oh so Canadian entrance to her Grey Cup half time performance, as she rolled in on a dog sled with snow softly falling.. and girl looked GOOD.

Shania Twain, Mounties, a dog sled and a blizzard? It doesn't get much more Canadian. #GreyCup https://t.co/HvaJWYOY2N

The reporter has since apologized, saying the Tweet should never haven been posted…

I apologize for my insensitive tweet last night. I’m sorry for the numerous people I offended. I really meant no harm and must learn to keep my mouth shut. I hope people can forgive me. It won’t happen again!

Once again, I apologize unreservedly for two highly insensitive tweets from last night. They never should have been posted.
