Veteran broadcaster Michelle Beadle has offered a curious response following the backlash stemming from her wild on-air gaffe over the weekend.
Beadle is under fire following a surprising segment on FanDuel’s ‘Run It Back’ with Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams on Friday, having accidentally dropped the N-word in an attempt to say “Nuggets” while discussing the NBA team after their win over the Miami Heat.
“Michael Porter Jr. recently said — aw I don’t like this — that if the [n-word], the Nuggets don’t win this,” she said. “Don’t try to get me on that. Lou [Williams], are you buying this is the last dance for the Nuggets?”

“The moment you say ‘Nuggets’ incorrectly on television and your entire career flashes… while your cohosts die. Broadcasting students: slow down. And communicate,” she captioned the video in question.
While many people aren’t too upset as this wasn’t deliberate, it’s a terrible look for the veteran broadcaster.
Whether or not she gets punished by FanDuel remains to be seen.
