"Having someone younger and probably a little less experienced than him in a position above him might have inflicted a wound on his ego," Izzy Wouters shared. "I thought it was immature and childish." Phillips was also on the after-show and admitted that his comments were "unfair" and "derogatory" (via Monsters and Critics).

Still, Wouters felt Phillips' disrespect warranted a personal apology, as she expressed in an Instagram story. "I'm still yet to receive a sincere apology that isn't on a public forum," she shared. "Also you can do good things for the world and work for badass women and still be a prick. Your words and behaviour on the show can only be edited so much. The truth always comes out and it has. Learn from your mistakes and make a concerted effort to be and do better."
