HOT MIC ALERT!
It’s EVERY broadcaster’s fear. And yesterday it caught Buffalo Bills team reporter Maddy Glab.
During yesterday’s Bills Team Media Day, Maddy got caught by a live mic laughingly saying “There’s no control over Stefon Diggs, he’s gonna do what he wants to do, he’ll look me in my face and say FU, that’s how he treats everybody” after a fellow reporter joked to her that she should go get Diggs when they were waiting for press conferences, which prompted her to say what she said as a way of explaining she doesn’t have control over him..
And OF COURSE someone nabbed video of the slip, and posted it:

After it went viral, Madd released a statement and apology, where she says “I should not have said what I said, and I apologize for that. Stef is not in the wrong, I am.”.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I’ve got the same take as a lot of her followers have, apparently.
-
No, she shouldn’t have said that, even in what she THOUGHT was private. You’re at an event. You don’t talk 💩 about coworkers, teammates, clients, or customers in a public or a work environment.

IS IT TRUE? I mean, IS he hateful to press/coworkers/public? Because IMHO, she could have left it at “I shouldn’t have said what I said” and be done.
Maybe he IS a great guy off the field. I sure hope so. And it’s completely plausible that her sarcasm/joke was misinterpreted as hatefulness (she said as she looks back on the number of times she’s been called into the boss’s office for a 4-word work email that was taken as VICIOUSLYCOLDHEARTEDTRAUMAINDUCINGTERROR).
I HOPE that’s the case.
Because if it’s another case of the boss making one employee apologize for another employee’s rude/abusive behavior to protect them from their own actions, well, that’s just a little too much of the same for me.
