Renowned radio host and television personality, Carrie Bickmore, found herself in a candid moment of self-expression as she openly discussed her experience with greying hair. During the conversation, Bickmore firmly addressed an inappropriate off-air comment made by a producer, emphasizing her commitment to personal boundaries.
The discussion surrounding Bickmore’s greying hair took an unexpected turn when a producer’s remark, which did not make it to the broadcast, raised eyebrows. It became evident that the comment had inquired about hair on her body rather than her head, prompting a swift response from the 42-year-old host.
Bickmore had been sharing insights about the process of aging, noting that her head hair had displayed grey strands for an extended period. She humorously referred to this phenomenon as a “skunk streak,” drawing a playful comment from her co-host, Tommy Little. In response, she explained that her hairdresser had suggested that stress might be a contributing factor to her greying hair.
As the conversation unfolded, the possibility of embracing her grey hair was discussed, with Tommy jokingly suggesting she might resemble iconic characters like Storm from X-Men or Mrs. Sheffield. Bickmore expressed her hesitation, suggesting that her previous grey strands were likely due to stress, while her newfound grey eyebrow hair was a marker of her age.
However, the conversation took a turn when Bickmore reprimanded a producer, Eli, for an inappropriate comment made off-air, swiftly reminding him of her boundaries. She also disclosed that she had undergone laser hair removal.
This candid conversation was not the first time Bickmore had openly discussed her greying hair. Previously, during an episode of “The Project,” she revealed that she was “fully grey” beneath her signature blonde tresses. The disclosure followed a discussion about Canadian TV newsreader Lisa LaFlamme, who was reportedly dismissed for embracing her natural grey hair. When asked why she doesn’t fully embrace her grey hair, Bickmore candidly shared that she “quite likes dyeing” her hair, highlighting her personal preference in managing her appearance.
Carrie Bickmore’s willingness to share her experiences and assert her boundaries adds to her relatability as a public figure and encourages open conversations about aging and self-expression.
