Michelle Beadle is making waves this week when she revealed LeBron James tried to get her fired from the company at one point.
The former ESPN anchor told the story during an episode of her podcast.
“He tried,” she said of the rumor about James attempting to get her fired. “He did try. Yep. He did try to do that. I was like, ‘Wow, I’m honored that I’m even on your mind. Thank you very much, sir. That’s a weird place for me to be.’ So, my stuff with him started out not personal. I made fun of ‘The Decision’ like 400,000 other talking heads did at the time, and I think for some reason, that was it. So, it wasn’t personal to begin with it. It’s obviously, now it will always be personal.”
Beadle is now a member of The Athletic.
Despite claiming that James tried to get her fired from ESPN — Beadle isn’t holding any grudges against LeBron.
“I’m very comfortable with not liking people,” Beadle added. “I think that’s what makes us all healthy. It’s the people who pretend they like everyone – you can’t trust them.”
