It’s been seven years since presenter Jeremy Clarkson was fired from the BBC. At that time he not only insulted a producer of Top Gear, but also hit him – so badly that the person responsible even had to go to the emergency room. Jeremy Clarkson was eliminated. Barely a year later, Amazon brought back the Top Gear trio and produced a similar format, The Grand Tour. But for Clarkson, that will probably soon be history.
Amazon ends cooperation
According to a recent report by Variety, Amazon has decided internally that further projects with the moderator are no longer viable in the future. Clarkson’s Farm and The Grand Tour will not be renewed once the contracts have been completed. So there will be a few more episodes and specials. Verbal abuse is again the reason for the expulsion. Clarkson’s column in Britain’s The Sun is apparently the trigger.
insults and misogyny
In the past, Jeremy Clarkson has repeatedly targeted Meghan Markle. Together with her husband, the Duchess of Sussex was in the headlines more often after the Royals exit, but the moderator’s column was now too much even for the British. Jeremy Clarkson wrote, among other things, that he hates Meghan Marke and wants a Game of Thrones-style public humiliation for the actress.

Apologies have been criticized
Jeremy Clarkson apologized for his statements on Monday. The topic is now so big that a spokesman for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has commented on the topic. The apology has apparently not been accepted by the Duchess and Duke of Sussex. Clarkson claimed it was a one-off slip because the lyrics were written under time pressure. But because other columns have also targeted Meghan Markle, Harry and Meghan don’t think it was a one-off thing.
