NFT: ESPN Princess gets a time-out...

Dave in Buffalo : 4/17/2015 7:14 am
This blonde half-wit, Britt McHenry, who claims to have a brain, relentlessly humiliates a parking clerk and only gets a week's suspension.

In her obligatory apology, she claims it was due to an "intense and stressful moment". She parked illegally and got towed. She also said she should have "taken the high road", as if she was the abused party. Her litany of humiliating commentary was hardly a moment's indiscretion. It's the well thought out and practiced product of a rotten person. This princess really needs to be fired, and perhaps a couple of years time-out from the industry. Let her get a waitress job and learn some manners.


Quote:
“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?”


Quote:
“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.”


Her obligatory and weak attempt at an apology.

Quote:
“In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things,” she wrote. “As frustrated as I was, I should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I am so sorry for my actions and will learn from this mistake.”


Why would anyone want someone this awful working for them. Come on BSPN, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find a blonde with some decency.

Honestly fuck tow truck people

You have no idea what that lady said to her. These ppl are there to make your life miserable.
Amazing

"I'm thin and pretty and I'm on TV; DO WHAT I WANT!"

If she was arguing with the owner of the tow company  
buford : 4/17/2015 7:50 am : link
about legitimate complaints, then that's ok.

But she was berating the cashier who's probably a minimum wage workers. And she was very nasty and made bad personal remarks. There is no excuse for that.

Entitled Princess, yes. If getting your car towed is that stressful that you act that way, then you just may be a bitch.
The person she ripped into  
Headhunter : 4/17/2015 8:02 am : link
had the decency to tell her that they were video taping. If you are fucking stupid enough to to keep on ranting knowing you were being taped? You deserve all the shit you bring on yourself

Yes, she's physically beautiful  
buford : 4/17/2015 8:11 am : link
However, she's now been outed as a very ugly person.

How does that feel 'baby girl'.
Fired is a bit much  
giants#1 : 4/17/2015 8:17 am : link
She's already embarassed herself plenty. It's too bad the berated cashier isn't seen on the video because then she'd probably be able to sue for emotional trauma or something.

I think of all the many times we read about someone who says something politically incorrect or actually offensive when they are clearly doing it inadvertently or with know knowledgeable malicious intent (chalk it up to culture, age, ignorance, innate prejudice, whatever) and they lose their job. Here, this is intentional and personal with a clear goal of dehumanizing and hurting another specific individual. To me, it's logarithmically worse.

ShocknAwe80 : 4/17/2015 8:49 am : link
I hate the fact that every damn thing a person does is now documented to video. She didn't mouth off to a police officer, or a child, her rant wasn't racist or bigoted... she got her car towed and was pissed. If you have never overreacted to someone or something out of anger in your life than feel free to cast the first stone. I think the worst part about this whole thing is that in todays day and age everyone is forced to apologize... So sad
I'll agree with Joey - fuck towing companies  
Greg from LI : 4/17/2015 8:50 am : link
I don't know the circumstances, but they tow plenty of people who are parked legally, and they are in my experience generally rude, nasty people.

Where Barbie went wrong was when she pulled the Moe Greene "Do you know who I am?!" routine and ranted about being on television.

I am in no way saying I agree with her actions, or condone them, but the fact that her job should be threatened over this is just ludicrous.
Nuts how Stephen A SMith  
Joey from GlenCove : 4/17/2015 8:52 am : link
got away with basically saying woman should do better not to get hit.

She was mad at a fat tow truck person. I bet if the tow truck person was nice she wouldn't have blown up. These people are as miz as DMV ppl, maybe worse
Perfect clash of cultures in the video era  
WideRight : 4/17/2015 8:57 am : link
No point in taking sides, let them go at each other!
Barbie was also told by the cashier that the video was on & she  
TheMick7 : 4/17/2015 9:00 am : link
continued her rant so it became one of an attack on the cashier's personal appearance & job. Sorry for all of you that don't like tow companies but her tirade on this poor woman because she feels she is an entitled bitch, lacks simple common decency.
Lord Zedd called and he says,  
ktinsc : 4/17/2015 9:04 am : link
"She's mildly attractive but easily replaced."
probably a good idea to act like you're on video all the time  
oghwga : 4/17/2015 9:05 am : link
maybe the world would be a happier place. Her job is to be appealing on TV and ESPN can fire her if they please. Does anyone think that shitting on a powerless employee will get them anywhere anyway?

Having a bad day does not entitle you to ruin the day of somebody else.
I know the tow truck company that towed  
bradshaw44 : 4/17/2015 9:05 am : link
Her car. I know the toothless woman she was berating. While I don't condone this girls actions and I think she's a spoiled little bitch, that tow company is full of total fuck heads. They treat you like you're a second class citizen when you go to retrieve your vehicle. I've had words with them a few times.

I know what she said was abusive but I am sure everyone here has been angry once in their life and said something similar to a cab driver, waiter or valet parking person... but I would hate to have to lose my job cause of this...
Fire her and hire another dumb blonde  
aimrocky : 4/17/2015 9:08 am : link
there's plenty of them out there who can do her job. She's replaceable.
the thing that made me laugh  
Greg from LI : 4/17/2015 9:13 am : link
She's ranting about her career and being educated....as if her ace reporting skills are what got her on ESPN instead of her looks.
When a woman with looks like that gets her car towed  
jcn56 : 4/17/2015 9:16 am : link
it means she's not using 'em right.
Greg nailed it  
aimrocky : 4/17/2015 9:20 am : link
those were my exact thoughts.
Don't think she should be fired  
Mike from Ohio : 4/17/2015 9:22 am : link
The world is full of nasty people, and that usually comes out when under stress, or in this case, inconvenienced. So she may be a rotten person? You generally don't get fired for that in most professions unless it impacts your work, which this didn't.

What I do find funny is Barbie's belief she is on TV because she has a brain. "Just wear tight clothes and read the cards, sweetie."
Lol at her  
cokeduplt : 4/17/2015 9:24 am : link
acting like she got her job because she smart, fuck that bitch
she's just lucky she didn't get the wrong booth attendant  
GentleGiant : 4/17/2015 9:27 am : link
Out of curiosity, has anyone actually seen her on ESPN tv?  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/17/2015 9:28 am : link
I've never heard her name before. Seems like she was big-timing the attendant even though she herself is quite anonymous.
reminds me of the saying  
RicFlair : 4/17/2015 9:28 am : link
something like: "If someone is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person."
I'll cast the first stone  
PaulBlakeTSU : 4/17/2015 9:32 am : link
Not everyone has had blowups where they just berate someone like she did. It's rude and it's disgusting, and it shows that she has a rotten core.

I have never in my life treated someone like she did. And many other people have not either. Coming to this woman's defense by saying "we've all done it" is incorrect and a disappointing way of trying to justify one's own blow-ups.
---------------------

As far as her losing her job, I think it's only because of the job she has that cause people to feel that way. Being on TV and on ESPN, it means that ESPN viewers are customers and she is one of the people that some customers have to deal with (watch on TV). Perhaps people don't want to have to watch her on TV pretend to be this pretty, likable person when they know her to be a pretentious bitch.

I'm not joining the cause to cal for her job, but I am repulsed by her and I'm not going to want to watch ESPN segments that she's on when she comes back.
I dont really care if she loses her job or not  
MetsAreBack : 4/17/2015 9:36 am : link
but there's a certain justice in someone berating someone else that "I'm on TV and you're not"...... not being on TV anymore.

As far as whether i'll change the channel when she's on like Paul will --- i mean, she's kinda hot... and she's reading cue-cards about sports.... what's not to like here
no, I'd never heard of her  
Greg from LI : 4/17/2015 9:37 am : link
But then I never watch anything on ESPN anymore other than live games or 30 for 30.
"An intense and stressful moment...?"  
B in ALB : 4/17/2015 9:39 am : link

Uhh, speak for yourself. I've certainly lost my temper at people, but I've never said anything insulting and abusive like that, not even close. If you think that's typical behavior for most people, well, you're wrong.
poor representative for ESPN  
Csonka : 4/17/2015 9:55 am : link
There's a long line of qualified people for her job. She's now known as a bad human being. That was a pretty brutal verbal attack. I'd replace her. Move her to some menial job out of view. She can leave if she wants.

Good point - I am still pissed they stole that #1 seed, totally undeserved based on how things turned out. I am thinking of writing a letter - you and Mook want to sign it? Could use tears, make more of an impact:)

I'm not saying I condone what she said,  
knicks3031 : 4/17/2015 10:14 am : link
but has anyone read the Yelp reviews on this place? Seems atrocious. And in the video we have no idea what was being said to her. Tow truck companies are awful people. No way her job should be threatened because of this.

Some highlights from Yelp about Advanced Towing company

Quote:
The people who run this business should be jailed or at the very least beaten with wrenches wrapped in barbed wire.

Absolute scum of the earth trailer trash. The porky front desk lady should lose some weight. Or not, hopefully she drops dead sooner rather than later from clogged arteries.


Quote:
Illegal towing shouldn't be allowed. They don't provide photographic evidence and bully you into paying the $135.


Quote:
It is true that towing companies are low hanging fruit for bad reviews. But straight up this place is managed by some pretty nasty folks. Fortunately they are sort of the odd balls in modern day Arlington. I suspect they will be gone someday soon.


Quote:
If I could give them less than 1 star, I would. The owner should reevaluate his staff and the customer service. I completely understand the need for towing companies and am grateful for their work when it's legal and appropriate i.e. when people can't follow signs or their car breaks down.

The truck towers and front desk staff are liars. They try to bully you into thinking you did something wrong with alleged (because they refuse to show them to you) photographs of you leaving a parking lot. They should be ashamed to call themselves a business.


Quote:
God has a special place for people at Advances towing. They are ruthless and have no heart.

1983? You mean 5 national championships ago? He may be over it. Has Virginia won the NIT since then?
