Hydro One has issued a statement saying it has fired one of its employees after he was found to have made crude remarks to CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt Sunday at a Toronto FC game.

Shawn Simoes and his friends yelled "F--k her right in the p---y" during Hunt's live broadcast. The reporter then confronted Simoes, who called the use of FHRITP "hilarious."
