Comedian Fiona O’Loughlin’s daughter has hit back at an Indigenous musician who accused her of making racist jokes during her own show, claiming she has no sense of humour.
Biddy O’Loughlin, 36, recently posted a clip from a segment she did earlier this month in which she mocked an Aboriginal woman’s comments about beer and made a joke about the name of a traditional place and methylated liquors.
The artist has since deleted hundreds of threats and angry comments.
Indigenous musician Isaac Compton criticized Ms O’Loughlin, saying: “Another comedian thinks he’s being edgy, but instead he’s just recycling the racist narrative that Aboriginal people are alcoholics.”
“His jokes are not new.”
Ms O’Loughlin responded by claiming she was the victim of “hogging” and shared an Instagram exchange with Mr Compton where she told him: “I’m not apologizing for a joke.”
Mrs O’Loughlin, a single mother of one, who grew up in Alice Springs with her four siblings, insisted she does not judge people by the color of their skin, only by the content of their character.
Biddy O’Loughlin has not apologized after her jokes about an Aboriginal woman, beer and Indigenous place names sparked outrage.
Biddy says she put her career on hold to protect her mother Fiona O’Loughlin’s ego
He also responded to critics’ claims that he had used his mother’s fame to start his own comedy career.
O’Loughlin insisted she made her own path, even taking a long hiatus from her career to protect her mother.
‘I was paid 18 months after starting to work in Ireland. “No one knew who my mother was,” he posted in now-deleted comments.
‘I came back to Australia and stopped doing comedy for nine years because I didn’t want to hurt his ego.
‘Oh, and I went to live in Ireland because I felt like I couldn’t live in Australia. I had a serious case of white guilt. But I’ve grown up.
‘People should not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. They are jokes.
This is not the first time Ms O’Loughlin has offended minority groups.
She was due to perform at the Cranker Comedy show on October 15 at the Crown & Anchor Hotel in Adelaide, but was booted from the bill following a complaint made by a member of staff at the pub.
Biddy O’Loughlin previously said she had been canceled from a comedy show because of her views and jokes about trans people.
It is understood the complaint was made in relation to comedy material and comments on social media about people who identify as transgender.
“I know some of the waiters see me as a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), but I don’t consider myself a feminist,” she said at the time.
O’Loughlin’s Instagram includes clips of her making jokes about trans women, along with photos of her wearing a red cap with the slogan “Make Women Female Again,” a reference to Donald Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again.”
‘Fighting for you ladies. And for your daughters,” he captioned one photo.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms O’Loughlin for comment.
