Michelle Beadle trended in a very bad way over the weekend.
The veteran broadcaster is in some hot water after letting the N-word slip while discussing Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets while hosting her show on FanDuel TV.
Beadle was on with former NBA players Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams when she accidentally dropped the racial slur while trying to say the team’s name.
“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?”

Josina Anderson Was More Upset At Lou Williams Than Michelle Beadle
While this was purely accidental, it’s really not a great look for Michelle. Josina Anderson, who worked with Beadle at ESPN before moving to CBS Sports, was not happy.
Anderson was more upset at Williams for laughing than anything else.
“Why is Lou Williams laughing? I’m looking at him in particular,” she wrote in a post on X. “Moreover, it’s not his responsibility, nor should it feel like his instinctual duty to fill this awkward moment with a disinfecting giggle as the resident African-American former baller on the set. Regardless if it was a ‘slip’ or not, the slur it sounded like is not funny in and of itself. Next time stay quiet, let it be what it is.”
Another user suggested that the former player was laughing because Beadle made a “funny mistake,” to which Anderson replied, “It isn’t funny to me, thus MY opinion.”
Whether or not FanDuel opts to punish Beadle remains to be seen.
