MailOnline has contacted GK representatives for comment.
GK was criticized for the “disappointing” choice of content, with several viewers also pointing out that she lacks the ability to “disagree with her own guests” and easily “adopts their views.”
Surprising fans accused her of having a “very bad influence on young girls” and could not hide their “shock” at the interview.
Some wrote below their YouTube clip:
‘This needs to be removed. This is absolutely discouraging;
‘Grace has the problem of never being able to disagree with her guests, never challenging them in any way, she adopts their views. This can make for a great interview in some circumstances, but agreeing with views as outlandish as this is totally irresponsible. save this talk for the incel’ podcasts;
‘a little disappointed at how Grace changes her views and agrees with her when she could have stood firm on her own backbone’;
‘Grace agrees with her when she talks about husbands cheating on their wives. Honestly, this is VERY disappointing!’;

‘I don’t think people are digging deep enough into the Bonnie Blue and GK Barry situation. Its audience is girls between 13 and 20 years old. Young and impressionable. This is not the message young women should hear. “We need to start deplatforming.”
