Britt McHenry Rant Video, ESPN 'Sweetheart' Suspended After Explicit Towing-Lot Tirade, Apology Sparks #FireBrittMcHenry Twitter Attack [WATCH]
Don't mess with Britt McHenry - she's in the news!
The stunning ESPN reporter was recently issued a one-week suspension after this crazy video went viral online:
[WARNING, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]
Watch out - cameras are everywhere nowadays!
McHenry got into a rather heated verbal confrontation with an innocent towing-lot attendant. The Washington, DC-based sports broadcaster exclaims, "I'm in the news, sweetheart, I will f*cking sue this place."
The 28-year-old blonde beauty later ranted about the altercation on Twitter, until the posts were finally deleted (April 6):
@BrittMcHenry: "Just got towed after eating dinner at an establishment in Arlington. How corrupt is Advanced Towing?"
@ARLnowDOTcom: "@BrittMcHenry Where were you parked? What happened?"
@BrittMcHenry: "@ARLnowDOTcom in the Hunan parking lot, where I ate dinner. On a Sunday night!"
These screenshots were originally posted by ARLnow.com.
In an attempt to save her career and reputation, McHenry later issued a public apology online:
@BrittMcHenry: "In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things. As frustrated as I was, I should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I am so sorry for my actions and will learn from this mistake."
Twitter's now on fire:
@KamahlAJE: "Britt McHenry's attitude displays an unfortunate belief that being on TV makes you important. Newsflash 'baby girl' - it doesn't."
@auntamy2: "A male reporter would have been fired immediately for those insults. @BrittMcHenry gets 1 week off @espn? #EqualRights #firebrittmchenry."
@coryrothschild: "Whoever decided to only suspend Britt McHenry for one week should be suspended. Absolutely inadequate punishment."
@HotlineJosh: "Ironically, Britt McHenry's last ESPN interview was with someone w missing teeth: Alex Ovechkin."
@suburbanlemon: "I had no idea who Britt McHenry was before but I now I know she's the kind of woman I hope I've taught my daughters not to be."
@wada_woo: "Who has nice things to say when you get towed? Not Me! Tow Co.didn't show video of other people complaining just Britt McHenry."
@ParkwayPress: "@BrittMcHenry Too late for your lame apology, the world knows you're a LOSER now, and you were even told you were on camera. #DumbA$$."
@QuiteDirect: "@BrittMcHenry Has not apologized to victim. She is only sorry she got caught. @espn #StopBullying #FireBrittMcHenry."
@ENicole19: "From someone who is also "on television", it DISGUSTS me to watch the video of @BrittMcHenry berating the parking clerk. #uglyontheinside."
@JimSias: "Britt McHenry went all Chris Berman."
Should McHenry receive a harsher punishment? She does have quite the attitude...
Stay tuned as more details develop.
