-Just one day after he was officially fired by the BBC, Jeremy Clarkson had one thing to say to reporters:
-
“I wish people would leave Ois alone, because none of this is his fault.”
-
“Ois” refers to Oisin Tymon, the Top Gear producer at the center of Clarkson’s firing. In an internal investigation, the BBC found that Clarkson unleashed a verbal tirade on Tymon before physically assaulting him. Reportedly, this manbaby outburst was over the fact that, at the end of a day of filming, Clarkson couldn’t get a hot meal, and would have to eat a cold dish.
-
After the fact, it was Clarkson who reported himself to the BBC regarding the outburst. Tymon went to the emergency room with a busted lip, but it was Clarkson himself who set the wheels turning that led to his ultimate firing.
-
That’s not relevant to morons on the internet, though. Tymon—whose only crime was being punched by Jeremy Clarkson—has been on the receiving end of the kind of stupid victim-blaming that only Twitter can deliver.

Oisin Tymon most hated man watch for getting Jeremy Clarkson. Why couldn’t you take the beating only a little touch and move on

-If Oisin Tymon had done his job properly the #Clarkson fracas wouldn’t have happened. He should be sacked for his incompetence. — Giles (@LovelyBitOfMeat) March 25, 2015-

-Oisin Tymon is the one who should’ve been fired. If @JeremyClarkson wants a steak dinner, you get him a steak dinner! #TopGear — Connor Brett (@ConnorBrett) March 25, 2015-

The river of stupidity runs much, much deeper than that, if you’re looking to lose your faith in humanity.

So when Clarkson was approached by reporters on a bike ride today, he did the right thing: He told fans, and the press, to leave Tymon alone.
-
We just wish he’d followed his own advice a few weeks ago.
