NBC Host Calls Leather Clad Bikers "Losers"
Share
(see her retraction at the end of this story)
NBC’s Hoda Kotb pissed off a lot of leather-wearing motorcycle riding enthusiasts with an offhand comment about the time she and Kathie Lee Gifford went to a biker bar, called Alabama Jacks in 2013. “We dressed in leather, like a couple of losers really, like at the biker bar,” Kotb said. Alabama Jacks is located in Key Largo Florida and is a frequent hangout of locals and motorcycle riders.
Bikers took their anger to the Facebook page for the show writing, “Saw the comments made about dressing up like losers in leather and going to Alabama Jacks. You just lost a loser in leather for rating ladies…have fun in your plastic, fake Barbie world!” Another wrote, "I am seriously offended at Hoda's reference to dressing in leather and going to a biker bar as "dressing as losers". Obviously, she needs to get her head out of her dressing room and look at the facts. We are lawyers, doctors, secretaries, mechanics, military, police, college graduates, mothers, and fathers."

they didn’t dress like losers…they dressed like posers, far worse, maybe someone should “educate” them on the purpose of leathers other than a poser fashion statement
and that’s coming from a drunk. I actually want to say alcoholic
Hoda…you are a freaking joke ..take a hard look in that mirror,,,Calling someone a loser because of the way they dress shows most of us Bikers just how much class you really have…What have you done besides talk shit…Have you.donated toys? Honor a Vet? Protect abused children or abused woman? Im pretty sure you did nothing other than run that BIG mouth…Ans Steve Croce, you are so right….sad but true…Do us all a favor NBC, fire her ass like you one someone else…I hope ur ratings hit rock bottom until you do!!!!!
This is what ignorance looks & sounds like.. I’m proud to be a biker.. Im a farmer…small business owner.. Wife, Mother and Grand Mother… I’m also the Founder and President of a new Women’s Motorcycle club here in Maine.. We are so excited to be focusing on Charities for women and children.. This is what it means to me to be a Biker.. to make a difference in our communities .. To empower other women….. What is wrong with people today.. They should not speak if they have not a clue.. A Biker would be the first to come to someone who is in need… The Today Show lost a long time viewer for sure.. Im done… And I will continue on with what I’m here for.. to help make a difference in this world.. MLH&R KuJo!
Clearly she lacks class and intelligence to speak of others in the manor she does being in the public eye.
Shame on her.
