ON Aug. 2, 2024, Imane Khelif and Angela Carini exchanged punches in their Paris Olympic bout, which lasted for only 46 seconds, with the latter abandoning the fight. Khelif was previously disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing a gender eligibility test. Many claimed that she was a biological male who should not have been allowed to fight in the female division.

A week before this, a former TV personality and host made the rounds on social media after berating a food server and allegedly making him stand for two hours for addressing the latter as 'sir.'
