Lazy sports fans who were watching the late morning editions of SportsCenter Saturday morning might have been in for a surprise when sideline reporter Britt McHenry popped up on the telecast.
Britt McHenry Goes Postal on Towing Truck Employee
It was McHenry's first televised appearance following the leak of a surveillance video that caught the reporter giving a brutal verbal undressing of a tow truck employee in Arlington, Va. Her remarks earned her widespread condemnation on social media, and a one-week suspension from The Worldwide Leader.
"Back to work. Excited to be covering Caps-Isles today, McHenry wrote, via her Twitter page. "Now that the suspension is over, I want to say again that I’m so sorry for my recent hurtful actions. My remarks were completely out of line."
She continued: "Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable to speak to another human being in the manner in which I chose that night. That’s not who I am as a person and hope those who only know me from this incident will give me a second chance to prove to you how much I value integrity, character and treating people with respect. –Britt"
