(or trying to) with this. Thing is - doesn't really look like he was sharing in the fun. And - not to put too fine a point on this, but this is sexual harassment. And - were the genders here reversed - that would be clearly evident to most people.

Making other people uncomfortable (invading, touching, etc.) - particularly with clear signalling, "No" - isn't humor, it's harassment.

It shows she has no appreciation for what and how other people are feeling.

Recall what they used to say about her father? That he was a "towel snapper?" That always disgusted me because it shows the same oblivious attitude toward the feelings of other people. It's grabbing attention at someone else's expense.

This was his moment on screen. She tried to make it hers, and that makes her a social oaf.

Comments, either. She's not giving him any room and just wanted to be in the shot during the segment. It's camera hogging. It's not her segment. If someone were that close and clingy when I'm making food, I'd do more than gesture.
