The Real Reason Jeremy Clarkson Left Top Gear

Clarkson and his Top Gear co-hosts were also a part of the major outrage following comments that were deemed to be insulting towards Mexicans during the show’s ‘News’ segment discussing the Mastretta sports car.

In 2014, Clarkson was caught on air saying the N-word under his breath reciting the nursery rhyme “eeny, meeny, miny, mo” in his comparison test between the Toyota GT 86 and the Subaru BRZ. When this clip was published by the Daily Mirror, there was widespread outrage, and some demanded the BBC take swift action. However, at this point, the BBC decided to give Clarkson another chance following an apology.
