A vulgar phrase directed at TV reporters has reared its ugly face yet again.
CityTV reporter Tina Yazdani was at the Eaton Centre speaking with a woman about her Boxing Day shopping finds when a young man interrupted the interview.
“F— her right in the p—-,” he said into the camera and immediately walked away.
The obscene phrase was made famous in the city following a Toronto FC game in May 2015 involving CityTV News reporter Shauna Hunt.
An exasperated Yazdani shared the video via Twitter.
“It’s almost 2020 and somehow the abhorrent FHRITP trend that started in 2014 is still a problem here in Toronto,” she wrote. “We were at the Eaton Centre for Boxing Day coverage, interviewing a shopper, when it happened. Shame on this person.”

And, believe it or not, another young man is alleged to have said the same thing to a male TV reporter at a different mall.
Global News reporter Albert Delitala replied to her tweet and said the same phrase was used while he was recording a story at Yorkdale Shopping Centre.
Horrible. Also happened to @AlbertGlobal in Yorkdale. There’s the guy in red. https://t.co/XloCAhMlCm pic.twitter.com/ItvTKjbHB9— Alanna Rizza (@AlannaRizza) December 26, 2019
These two incidents continue a disturbing trend of young men shouting the obscene phrase when a camera is rolling this year.
In June, after Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors, a fan was interviewed by CP24 when he used the same phrase while speaking about Ayesha Curry, wife of Warriors star Stephen Curry.
Also, back in February, another young man blurted out the offensive phrase while CityTV News reporter Erica Natividad was conducting an interview, which was not live.
“No, I’m pretty sure your mom won’t be happy to see this,” cameraman Tony Fera shared on Twitter as he followed the man to help identify him.
