Billionaire Gina Rinehart is preparing legal action against the ABC after her company demanded the removal of a satirical skit from “Race Around the World” that portrayed her in a violent scene. Hancock Prospecting accused the network of failing to properly vet content and called for an apology and investigation, citing potential breaches of law. Contestant Kate McGuinness apologized, clarifying her joke was meant to be cartoonish and not literal. The ABC says it’s reviewing complaints and will respond to Rinehart’s lawyers, while the episode remains online as the situation escalates.
