Tucker Carlson boasts not wearing cologne or deodorant, gets called out for lack of basic hygiene

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson opened himself up to criticism after admitting to never wearing cologne or deodorant, Radar Online reported on Friday, January 3.

According to the publication, the former Fox News host was asked about his cologne preference when he attended a gala at President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach last month. At the event, Carlson was honored with a Champion of America award from Trump.

In an interaction that has been captured and uploaded on social media, Carlson is heard saying, "I've never worn cologne in my life. Cologne? I don't even wear deodorant, dude."

Tucker Carlson 'not a well-groomed guy'

A source close to Tucker Carlson reportedly called him out for his lack of personal hygiene while speaking with Radar Online.

"Tucker seems to delight in pissing people off and offending their sense of smell. But what he doesn't realize is that it makes it undesirable to hang out with him," they stated.

"It makes him unpopular at parties and also doesn't help that he rarely washes his hair. He's not a well-groomed guy," the source added.

According to the source, "working at home has caused him to slack off on basic tidying. But it's just not important to him, obviously. It can't be easy on his wife and kids and people he interviews."

Taking a personal jibe at the media personality, the source added, "Tucker's been stinking up the airwaves for years, but now his personal hygiene is his biggest problem. Pals say he really needs to do something about it!"
