Satu Rämö was mocked on TV – Here's how she reacted
Finnish author Satu Rämö responded to mockery from TV personalities Leea Klemola and Kaarina Hazard regarding her book series during a broadcast.
In a recent Finnish TV episode of 'Hengaillaan,' hosted by Leea Klemola and Kaarina Hazard, the duo controversially mocked author Satu Rämö instead of answering a question about her popular 'Hildur' book series. The incident, which drew significant media attention, focused on their unflattering comments and sparked discussions about respect and criticism in the cultural sector. Rämö, who had planned to watch the episode, learned of the jibe through an article by Helsingin Sanomat, raising her awareness of the situation.
Following the controversy, Satu Rämö took to her Instagram account to express her feelings about the incident, describing her surprise and disappointment that two respected figures in the culture scene had chosen to speak about her in such a disparaging manner. In her Instagram stories, she articulated her feelings of confusion and hurt and reflected on the implications of such remarks from individuals she admired, prompting further discussions about the treatment of artists and the responsibilities of public figures.
This situation has opened a dialogue in Finland about how public personalities engage with each other and the potential impact of their words. Rämö's response not only highlights the personal effects of public criticism but also raises questions about cultural discourse, the nature of humor in media, and the accountability of those who hold public authority in shaping narratives about artists.
