The Twitterverse was abuzz last week when Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt was called out for repeatedly interrupting U.S. Chief Technology Officer and former Google employee Megan Smith, the only woman who was speaking with him and writer Walter Isaacson on a panel at South by Southwest.

Here’s what went down, according to reports: Schmidt was reportedly interrupting and talking over Smith during the entire panel discussion on innovation, despite the fact that their conversation actually touched on diversity issues in technology.

During a Q&A session after the panel, someone in the audience pointed out that Schmidt was repeatedly interrupting Smith without noticing, and asked Smith how she felt about it. Did she feel there was some kind of subconscious gender bias at play?

Who was it that called out Schmidt? None other than Judith Williams, who just happens to be the global diversity and talent program manager at Google. Williams also heads up Google’s bias training program.

Smith’s answer to Williams’ question didn’t directly address what happened, but she did discuss the issue more generally, explaining how she sometimes goes unheard at meetings.

According to The Huffington Post, Schmidt didn’t say anything in response to Williams’ question. Furthermore, neither Williams nor any of the panel participants responded to The Huffington Post’s requests for additional comment.

Others, however, had a stronger response. “The crowd cheered at [Williams’] comment,” according to PopSugar, which was one of the first to report on the exchange. Twitter comments supporting Williams also followed.
