Jess Wright: jess wright apology over thong comments sparks Dani Imbert beach clapback
jess wright and her sisters opened a fresh public row after a recent Wright At Home podcast episode criticised women wearing thong bikinis, prompting a viral retaliation from current TOWIE star Dani Imbert and a swift social media reaction. The exchange unfolded on a recent episode of the Wright At Home podcast where the hosts said they were not fans of thong bikinis. The comments prompted Dani Imbert to repurpose the audio in a TikTok and reignite debate over judgement and body confidence. Updated 10: 00 AM ET.
Jess Wright comments and podcast audio
The Wright At Home hosts—Carol Wright, jess wright and Natalya Wright—said on the episode, “I can’t stand how it’s acceptable to walk around a beach with a thong. ” The hosts added, “And do you know what’s worse? These girls that wear them… fair enough if you’re going to wear them, at least if you’re going to bend over, put a sarong on. “
During the same exchange, jess wright relayed a comment from her husband, saying, “Will cannot stand it. He says to me, ‘I cannot understand how she thinks that’s attractive’. Put it away and leave something to the imagination. Who wants to see up their butts?'” Those lines from the podcast are at the centre of the dispute that followed online.
Dani Imbert’s TikTok response and co-star reaction
Current TOWIE star Dani Imbert used audio from the Wright At Home episode in a TikTok that shows her walking on a sunset beach wearing thong bikini bottoms, a direct visual rebuttal to the podcast remarks. The TikTok has drawn large engagement on social platforms and amplified the confrontation between former and current cast members.
Lauren Goodger, TOWIE co-star, commented on Dani Imbert’s clip: “I LOVE this wow 😍. ” Dani replied, “I love you my icon 😍😍❤️🔥❤️🔥. ” The exchange between Dani Imbert and Lauren Goodger pushed the conversation further into public view and framed the podcast comments as out of step with many viewers.
Immediate reactions and fallout
Listeners and viewers reacted strongly in comment threads. One social media responder wrote, “Always wear what makes YOU feel confident ladies 💘, ” while another called the podcast remarks “jealous. ” The reaction has largely favoured Dani Imbert’s response and placed the podcast episode — and the remarks by jess wright and her co-hosts — under scrutiny for being degrading to women who choose thong swimwear.
The hosts’ original wording — urging people to “put a sarong on” if bending over and questioning why anyone would “want to see up their butts” — remains central to public criticism and the viral rebuttal that followed.
Quick context and what happens next
jess wright and her sisters presented their views in a Wright At Home podcast episode that many listeners found controversial. Dani Imbert’s TikTok countered the podcast audio with a display of confidence that resonated with other cast members and fans.
What’s next: expect continued social reaction and debate as Dani Imbert prepares to return to screens this spring in TOWIE series 37 and in the latest Celebrity Ex on the Beach line-up. The conversation will likely follow any future appearances by the podcast hosts and by Dani Imbert, and further statements from named participants could drive the next developments.
