Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson was fired by the BBC on Wednesday.
Jeremy Clarkson was accused of making an unprovoked physical and verbal attack on one of Top Gear’s production staff. The event started due to no hot food being served after a day of shooting. Following its investigation, the BBC decided to fire the now former host of the show, reports Washington Post.
According to the BBC’s investigation, Jeremy Clarkson’s attack on Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon lasted for about 30 seconds. It started out with a verbal assault, but soon turned physical. One person intervened in the attack. Tymon didn’t file a complaint and Clarkson ended up reporting himself for the attack, Washington Post notes.
