I hope that maid has been sacked. You can't drag children around like that!

I thought it was his wife (which is what the national news called her) - not stereotyping were we?

Robert Kelly's wife is called Jung-a: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4301832/It-s-hilarious-says-grandmother-toddlers-viral-video.html

Interracial relationships are a thing.

The fact she seemed scared to death that she'd let the kids go into Daddy's office seemed the behaviour of an employee rather than his wife to be fair.

Well wouldn't you be mortified if your spouse was on a worldwide television of being humiliated? The guys already been turned into a meme and has gone viral. I know I would be mortified if the future Mrs. RK was on TV and my kids barged in.

And the report is about to air on NBC Nightly News.

Well, if Studio E can have toddler minded individuals walk in during a news cast, no reason World News can't have the same. Laughing

James Menendez confirmed yesterday on Twitter that the lady was indeed the interviewee's wife, so perhaps that can be put to bed.

He has tweeted believe this is all bad, but alot of people have told him its viral but its a good thing and It might just widen his reach for new jobs etc. https://twitter.com/Robert_E_Kelly?lang=en-gb

Exactly - the assumption wasn't anything to do with her race, but due to the way she behaved. You'd expect a man like that to have a smart, sophisticated woman as his wife, not some bumbling idiot like that. Turns out it was his wife though. Poor man.

Seriously? This comment is some kind of parody, right? A joke?

I mean, the internet didn't exist back in the 1950s, so I can't have been accidentally cast back in time.
