Channel 10 has refused to comment after a damning video of Waleed Aly's interview with former Collingwood defender Heritier Lumumba resurfaced, which was then mysteriously removed. Footage of the controversial 2017 interview resurfaced last week after a bombshell report was released, finding Collingwood guilty of fostering "systemic racism". The report was instigated after Lumumba made claims about enduring a "culture of racist jokes" and being nicknamed "Chimp" while playing for the Magpies between 2005-2014. Aly interviewed Lumumba in 2017 for an episode of Channel 10 show The Project, during which he discussed the player's alleged nickname, with viewers saying he appeared to cast doubt on the ex-player's claims.
