Peter Overton’s “insult” to Miranda Kerr
Peter Overton has made a hilarious mistake when describing Australian model Miranda Kerr.
The Nine News anchor was speaking about Kerr and her husband, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, who paid the entire debt for 285 graduates at an art college in Los Angeles.
When referring to Kerr, the veteran journalist said “Australian super mole” instead of “Australian supermodel”.
Overton, 56, immediately noticed his slip of the tongue and corrected himself during the bulletin.
The term “mole” or “moll” is an insulting word to describe a prostitute.
Viewers picked up on Overton’s mistake and laughed about it online.
“OMG did @PeterOverton just say what I thought he did! LOL #SuperMoll Miranda Kerr? Ooooopsss…” one person wrote.
“@9NewsSyd did Peter Overton just call Miranda Kerr a super mole ? lol Freudian slip,” another commented.
“He’s been talking to Orlando Bloom,” another wrote in reference to Kerr’s ex husband.
News of Kerr and Spiegel paying off the debt of 285 art students at Otis College of Art occurred during their graduation.
“We know that for most of you and your families, the shared burden of student debt is a heavy price that you paid for an exceptional Otis College education,” college president Charles Hirschhorn said.
“We understand that this debt can compromise your future and limit your creative ambitions. We do not want to see this happen.
“We are pleased to announce today that Evan and Miranda, through their Spiegel Family Fund, have made the largest single gift in the history of Otis College.
“Their gift will enable you to pay your student loans.”
