ESPN suspended reporter Britt McHenry for one week, hours after a video surfaced of the reporter dressing down a parking lot attendant in brutally ugly fashion.
“I’m in the news, sweetheart, I will f—–g sue this place,” McHenry, a Washington-based reporter, says as the video opens.
McHenry vented about getting her car towed in a since-deleted tweet (as caught and saved by ARL Now) on April 6, and that was the cause of her frustration.
(snip) The video, which appeared on LiveLeak, shows McHenry relentlessly mocking the clerk in a nasty attack, bouncing from jabs at her intelligence to insults about her teeth.
“Yep, that’s all you care about, is just taking people’s money,” McHenry says. “With no education, no skillset, just wanted to clarify that. … Do you feel good about your job? So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing? Why, cause I have a brain and you don’t?”
The rant somehow gets more personal as the edited video closes.
“Maybe if I was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh?” McHenry says. ” ‘Cause they look so stunning … ‘Cause I’m on television and you’re in a f—–g trailer, honey.”
And a parting shot before McHenry leaves: “Lose some weight, baby girl.”

That’s what I was thinking.
There’s no way they can justify keeping her now that her ugly side has been exposed. It’s not like she was ESPN’s leading sportscaster, either. (Well, in her own mind she was! “Don’t you know who I am? I’m on tv!”)
ROFLMAO !!!
Revealing as to what people really think about other peoples’ jobs. How sad.
From TMZ Sports....
The woman on the receiving end of Britt McHenry’s impound lot tirade is praised by her bosses — who say they’re PROUD of the way the employee kept her cool amid the ESPN reporter’s attacks.
As we previously reported, McHenry exploded on the impound lot attendant — calling her an unattractive, uneducated loser. It was nasty evil stuff.
TMZ Sports spoke with the manager of Advanced Towing in Arlington, Virginia who says ... “It’s unfortunate that [our employee] had to withstand that.”
“It wasn’t [our employee’s fault] that Britt’s car was towed. It’s her own fault. She was in the wrong. That’s why she was towed.”

Loved this comment...If Britt’s so educated, why couldn’t she read the NO PARKING signs?
LOL!
Agreed, Dilbert SD. It's just a silly example of the diversity madness gripping us.
Read what she said and for a second I thought it was Hillary Clinton..what this woman said is no different than what liberals think of the rest of us
She’s a naughty girl and she needs a good spanking. Bring her to me...
I am a 71 year old female and I have been changing channels when a female sports person is on for years. They have always bugged me for some reason.
Reminds me of my ex-wife. What was I thinking?
Yea. it was her brains that got her that job.
ESPN has news? I thought it was a sports channel.
I guess you weren’t thinking with your brain ;)
Britt, can you be persuaded to come and stay with me for a week? I will be glad to hold you close and console you about how poorly that old, mean, ugly, nasty tow lot lady treated you. She deserved everything you said about her. Give me a call at BR-549.
ROFL.
I partied for a week straight on a cruise with a local fox channel news weather girl.
I guess that they are not all d-bags....just most of ‘em.
I told someone on here that I do not care what kind of job anyone has as long as it is honest. They should be treated with respect. That is what my parents taught us. They are gone now but the lessons stuck.
I think I can rehab her.......
Stupid and ill-mannered ESPN lady reporters aside, I wonder how many here get the BR-549 reference, and (for extra credit) who made the number famous.
Getting nostalgic in my dotage.
Under the misapprehension that she was hired because she had a communications degree.
