Holly Valance: Singer of Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse cut off during live interview after dropping derogatory slur

Controversial right-wing pop star, Holly Valance, has once again come under fire after an embarrassing TV interview.

Valance was making headlines last week after she collaborated with Pauline Hanson in a new song called Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse.

The transphobic song, which was made to promote the One Nation leader’s new film, gathered attention online for making fun of “woke” culture.

Within hours of its release, the song topped Apple Music’s iTunes charts, however a day later, it was pulled from the platform.

Valance made an appearance on Britain’s GB News channel on Monday evening to discuss her new song on the show Free Speech Nation, but was abruptly interrupted after she sneakily dropped a derogatory slur.

“I never really guessed it, during Covid it was the big tester. It was the r..ard metre. And Australia was quite high on that,” the pop star said.

Vance was instantly called-out, but instead of apologising, she defended herself by referencing the show’s name: “Hey, are we not Free Speech Nation over here?”

“You’re right, you got me there,” the host said. “We are Free Speech Nation, apart from that one word.”

The clip quickly went viral on social media, leaving commenters divided on Valance’s use of the derogatory term.

“I don’t get why it’s controversial,” one commenter said.

“A million ways she could have communicated the same sentiment,” another said.

The word, which was derived from a medical term, is known now as an ableist slur that was commonly used to mock people with cognitive limitations.

On Friday, Valance appeared on the Kyle & Jackie O show, where she said that the songs removal from Apple Music has only fuelled publicity.

“It kind of helps you in the end, and they don’t realise that because there’s not enough brain cells between them, but it’s helping me enormously, so thank you so much”, she said.

Valance added that while the song’s removal was a small matter in the “scheme of important things”, it formed part of a broader conversation about free speech.

“You’ve got to see the bigger picture, and just because this week might not be something you like the sound of, you want it cancelled, but wait till it does affect something that you really believe in, and it’s taken away from you,” she said.

“I think if you’re a real libertarian, free speech should be at the top of your priorities, even if it’s with something you don’t like.”
