Seven Sharp host Hilary Barry has been the victim of yet another intolerant complaint by a viewer for her on-air fashion choices.
In an Instagram post, Barry said a viewer complained about a dress she wore while hosting the popular 7pm entertainment show because she was showing “too much skin”.
But Barry has had the last laugh, telling her followers she plans to wear the same dress again while hosting the show on Friday night.

“John from Rangiora complained when I wore this dress last night that I was showing ‘too much skin’ for prime-time viewing. So f*** him, I’m wearing it again tonight,” the Instagram post read.
A screenshot of the complaint read: “Please Hilary, look at your dress code to reflect that you are on prime time viewing. Too much skin showing is not acceptable in my opinion.”

It’s not the first time Barry has come under criticism for her choice of attire while hosting Seven Sharp.
During an episode of the current affairs programme, Barry’s co-presenter Jeremy Wells read out an email from a viewer named Barbara with the subject header “Hilary’s cleavage”, in which she claimed to have been “assailed’ by Barry’s preference for plunging necklines and choice of chesty clothing.
Reading aloud from the email, Wells said: “It’s a fact of nature that women’s breasts are sex objects and should be kept private except for the beach or at an evening do.”
To which Barry responded: “They’re just boobs and half the population have them. Barbara has them.”
