'It's delicious': Ryanair boss hit with cream cake in climate protest

The Ryanair CEO, Michael O’Leary, was hit in the face with what appeared to be a cream cake in Brussels by protesters demonstrating against aviation pollution.

The manager of the low-cost airline came to Belgium to hold a press conference about aviation strikes. He said cream cakes were his favourite, as he spoke to journalists with crumbs and cream all over his face,

I can't believe that woman just stood there & did nothing.

[nkj]

The audacity of the woman to just stand there with her hands folded and smirk at what happened to that man is just shocking

[Animal_Channel]

Now he has 1.5 million signatures plus massive exposure of 1.6 million views. I bet he truly thanks the woman who caked for this massive free exposure.

Weeks later she went on holidays to Italy with Ryanair

[ashrasmun]

It's shocking how well he handled that situation. He squeezed everything that was possible to gain from it.

[thl]

He would’ve gotten angry but showing emotion is an extra €50 surcharge

[bartekcalinski]

Now if it was the CEO of Boeing she would have been found dead in her apartment with self inflicted fatal injuries

[tiredman]

The fact that these people who assaulted the man think they have the moral high ground is insane.

[doxed]

This dude needs to be a politician.
Didnt whine or complain, but used it to his advantage. Dangerous.

[revolter]

Those two woman who caked him achieved the complete opposite and I love it.

[ross]

Super smart of him to use the oppotunity to spread his message even further than he otherwise would have been able to if he'd not been caked. CEO level IQ.

[PigeonsandCapybaras]

Bro really said 'Thanks for the meal but I'm busy right now'💀💀💀

[heatwave.]

He handled that well and didn’t stumble or stress on the matter. Props to him!

[opggifym]

True leader. Doesn't crumble a tiniest bit. Still delivers it.

Ironically, Ryanair is one of the *least* polluting airlines because of their passenger load efficiency

[theastonvillaseal]

Didn’t effect him in the slightest and he gained the moral support. 👏

[ernestov]

This man allowed my once broke family to afford vacations and flights. Huge respect.

[TheJorgeGuy]

Regardless of the context, it always baffles me when activists believe assaulting a man (with pie no less) is in any way going to positively affect your cause. Their actions weren't spurred on by a desire to improve the world, but by sheer malice. Every single time this happens, it only hinders honest activism.

[dadbear]

Really shameful that some people think assaulting someone or destroying property will prove their point

[Lazarusart]

He handled that brilliantly, well done man.
