Following the incident on Saturday, November 9, Michelle Beadle took to Instagram Stories to publicly address her mistake. She shared a screenshot from the viral moment, showcasing her co-hosts, Lou and Chandler, visibly shocked. In her post, she humorously remarked about the severity of mispronouncing “Nuggets” on live television, stating that it felt as if her entire career was flashing before her eyes while her co-hosts were left in disbelief.

“The moment you say ‘Nuggets’ incorrectly on television and your entire career flashes… while your co-hosts die. Broadcasting students: slow down. And communicate,” Beadle reflected in her Instagram caption.

The Aftermath: How Co-Hosts Reacted to the Racial Slur Incident

After the slip, Michelle Beadle glanced at her co-hosts Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons, who appeared visibly shaken by what had just occurred. She attempted to move past the moment by continuing to discuss the game, stating, “Don’t try to get me on that.” Despite the light-hearted atmosphere, the gravity of her words hung in the air.

Lou attempted to ease the tension with a laugh, telling her, “You’re gonna be in trouble today.” To which Michelle quickly retorted, “that’s not fair, it’s not even a thing… that’s not even a word.” Meanwhile, Chandler added a bit of levity to the situation, joking, “it sounded like it.”

Both Chandler and Lou expressed their discomfort with her use of the word, yet the trio continued laughing, with Lou reassuring Michelle, saying she was “covered in the club, and nobody is going to say anything.” This moment of camaraderie, however, has garnered mixed reactions from viewers and sparked a broader conversation about accountability in media.
