Michelle Beadle Addresses Viral N-Word Slip on FanDuel TV’s ‘Run It Back
Run It Back
The viral incident where Michelle Beadle accidentally used the N-word during a Run It Back segment on FanDuel TV was brought to light by sports journalist Michelle Beadle. Beadle’s vowels got jumbled while she was discussing the Denver Nuggets and speeding through a question, which led to a slip-up.
Beadle discussed the situation candidly with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, acknowledging,
“I sped through a Nuggets question. And my vowels got all messed up. Then those two turds lost it. And we laughed through the entire Denver segment.” She noted that her mistake had unintended consequences, but emphasized the humor that followed among the crew.
Beadle, who is well-known for her sharp sports commentary, expressed discontent with how the incident was depicted on social media.
“I imagine an edited version is going around. Not showing the real-time viewing and making it seem like an actual N-word with no response. Which I can’t control!” she said.
It is apparent that the context in which the slip occurred was lost in viral videos. She quickly attempted to redirect the conversation, saying, ‘Don’t try to get me into that,’ in an effort to move past the blunder.
The viral incident quickly became a hot topic online, with her co-hosts, including Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons, struggling to maintain composure. Parsons even joked, ‘I’m sweating,’ as the crew laughed through the awkward moment. Beadle kept her sense of humor and joked about the situation during her conversation with Robinson despite the incident.
While it was an unintentional slip-up, Beadle’s response highlights the pressure and challenges faced by those in the spotlight, especially when an offhand mistake goes viral. The incident has sparked ongoing debates on context, accountability, and the editing of moments that can be easily misinterpreted or taken out of context. Beadle’s honest response demonstrates her commitment to handling the situation honestly and acknowledging the humor that came from the unexpected slip.
