A screenshot of his message quickly went viral, sparking widespread backlash online. Although he made the remark with his private handle, undercoverbobinski, it didn't take fans long to find out it belonged to him. Many slammed the comment as outdated and sexist, with even some of Norris's fans expressing disappointment over his words. Fans are now slamming Norris, 25, online, with one writing, "lando norris talking about how women should be in the kitchen, brother, you are about to deliver a generational stinker so bad you'll be flipping burgers too by the end of it." lando norris talking about how women should be in the kitchen brother you are about to deliver a generational stinker so bad you'll be flipping burgers too by the end of it Another user wrote, "F1 twt acting surprised that Lando Norris is a misogynist that speaks about women like they're objects and refers to them as sex positions... c'mon now, his entire persona reeks of a performative feminist who will turn his back on you the second you stop benefitting him." F1 twt acting surprised that Lando Norris is a misogynistic pig that speaks about women like they're objects and refers to them as sex positions.. cmon now his entire persona reeks performative feminist who will turn his back on you the second you stop benefitting him Check out some more reactions below: hated lando before and I hate him even more now. fuck you and your misogynistic 'jokes.' the reason women still face so much misogyny and prejudice today are because of 'jokes' like those lando norris talking about women belonging in the kitchen when he's actually the one who should be in there bc he certainly can't cook in the sport he's been in for 7 years fucking twat Now wait a minuteIs this the "Lando Norris, victim of misogyny who has feminine energy" who just said: women belong in the kitchen? 🤡I wonder how his deranged fans are gonna make him the victim in this situation too 💀 seen lando be called out more for that joke in the last 20 minutes than i have for him dating a racist for the past 2 years but are we not going to speak on that? Lando has yet to respond to the public backlash, and many doubt he will address it at all. What's made the situation especially jarring for fans is that, over the years, he had earned a reputation as one of the more progressive, feminist-leaning drivers in F1—a label that now feels at odds with his recent comment.
