Britt McHenry got into a heated confrontation with an unruly sports fan during Wednesday night’s NBA game between the Washington Wizards and the Milwaukee Bucks, Page Six hears.
A source close to the situation told us President Trump’s press adviser attended the matchup at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., with a male friend and that the pals were seated in front of a group of guys who were “getting loud and obnoxious.”
We’re told one of the guys began heckling Bucks player Kyle Kuzma, who is engaged to model Winnie Harlow.
“They were saying he plays terribly because his girlfriend’s ugly,” our source claimed, adding that the man said other “terrible” things about Harlow.
We’re told McHenry, 40, turned around and told the heckler to “ease up,” but that only “turned the attention toward her.”
The guy then allegedly began hurling “misogynistic” comments toward the former ESPN reporter and even “threw a drink on her,” according to our source, who further claimed McHenry had been “drinking” throughout the evening.
We’re told the situation “became very heated” and that she allegedly “responded by throwing a drink” at the man in question.
The two were both escorted out of the arena, per our source, who noted that “everyone saw” the commotion.
Reps for McHenry and the US Department of State declined to comment when reached by Page Six.
Reps for the Capital One Arena, the Wizards and the Bucks did not immediately respond to our inquiries.
McHenry was infamously suspended from ESPN in April 2015 after she was captured on video lashing out at an employee of a towing company in D.C., saying the staffer had “no education” or “skillset.”
“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?” she ranted after her vehicle got towed.
“Maybe if I was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh? … ‘Cause I’m on television and you’re in a f–king trailer, honey.”
Before storming out, she added, “Lose some weight, baby girl.”
McHenry was ultimately fired from the company two years later.
After the viral video resurfaced in April 2024, the journalist insisted it had been “highly edited” and “highly doctored.”
“I will always kinda own it, but I look back, and I don’t think that video is that big of a deal. I feel like people get canceled every hour on social media,” she said at the time.
“What? I said things that are true. If college degrees don’t mean anything, why do we go to college? If looks don’t mean anything then why do you have models and people that work in television, and people that can’t?”
