Going to wait until I get home from work to watch just in case I get the urge to fap to it.

Nope. It's not a big deal. She said some things she shouldn't have said. That doesn't make her a bad person or mean she should lose her job over it. Of course, in this time of false outrage being so high, I am not surprised people are overreacting to this like some school girls who just met Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift.

Why wait? You got time on the drive home.

No, it does't make her a bad person but it certainly shows that she is one already. As I said about a friend of mine not too long ago, "He could use a dose of humility." Well, he got it and he has grown a lot since then. I think it would do her some good too.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Assuming that she was illegally parked and the tow was justified, she had no business taking her frustration out on the lady at the towing company. She didn't tow her car. She needed to calm down. I don't like what she did with the talking down to to the towing office employee. Punishment? I doubt firing her is appropriate. Her mouth might cause her pretty little ass to get whipped over something like this. Some folk won't take a chastisement of this nature. She's probably on the a little spoiled side.

 

[bookerfan66]

Big deal.People get worked up over such stupid things.No way she should lose her job.

 

[wild mandu]

Since when is missing teeth a bad thing?

 

[EvilMD]

Funny. Just was part of a long discussion about predatory towing companies on facebook before this came out. Her perceived personality is a huge part of her job. She might lose it for that reason.

 

[reignof cats]

In our politically correct universe, some people on this board could be fired for what they post.

I don't want her to lose her job. ESPN might hire 2 more dookies to replace her.

Brit, next time take a cab and stop treating people like dirt. You are no better than anyone else just because you are on TV. You are a pretty girl and need to take the high road. Suing a tow company. Girl where did you get your degree? Grow the F@ck up. You damn sure didn't get hired for your education?? Are you a real blonde??

If she was out bar hopping after eating at the restaurant, this might have saved her from getting DWI or worse. I bet she got real sober when she saw her car was gone.

 

[calamitybone]

ESPN is in the entertainment business. That's what the "E" stands for. She was hired by said network because of the perception that she is pretty and nice. She is no longer going to be perceived as the latter. That was half her job. There are literally thousands just like her. Need to call up the next one.

 

[js40484]

The irony of someone who has got famous because of whats on the outside will disappear into obscurity because of whats on the inside. The world just has a way of correcting itself sometimes...

Totally up to her employer. I don't wish ill will on her about that rant.

I've been booted, but never towed, but I've learned to not let it happen twice.

Britt looked very comfortable talking down to somebody huh? Well, going forward, she can't be the victim to someone who does that to her.

Brother I know what you mean. I WANT her to degrade and abuse me. Hell I'd actually pray for situational impotence just so I could really feel worthless and get the full force of her wrath.

She is worse than Leona Helmsley.

This. I don't care what may have happened before the video started.

Maybe she did have a right to be angry - who knows? But there is ZERO excuse to say the condescending personal things she said to the lady. And it did sound to me like the lady at least started out trying to be professional.

"Predatory" is the correct term. Especially in Lexington. I've never encountered a more despicable, condescending, hilljack, power-craving group of people than those employed by these towing companies.

It's the only time in my life I ever debated whether or not it was worth the risk to actually assault someone.

preach i agree, for her to be a public figure and humiliate someone over and over, shows what type of character she has
does she really think that she is better than the girl she is berating

ESPN should get as far away from her as they can

 

[wkycatfan]

Well, I've developed a low opinion of her. Not up to me whether she keeps her job or not.

Why wait? You got time on the drive home.

Isn't there a national agenda to not 'fap?' and drive?

 

[heckwithtech]

ESPN will probably give into the internet lynch mob. She was wrong to get personal like that, but she was fighting the wrong battle the entire time. The person behind the counter holds no sway in this process.

She could have actually got the internet lynch mob on her side if she made clear what had happened between herself and the towing and impounding company. If there was wrongdoing on the part of the towing and impounding company then she could have actually shown some light on possible acts of corruption and/or awful business practices. Surely, her employer (ESPN) - if this was done while in the act of employment would have certainly taken her side. ESPN is typically quick to punish (Olbermann, Simmons, Stephen A. Smith) or defend (Erin Andrews and the peephole) their talent.

The fact she lashed out like that in such a natural fashion leads me to believe that this is not the first time she's done this.

ESPN tried to get themselves a blonde with brown eyes as an answer to FS1 with Molly McGrath, it worked well it seems until now.

Nope. So be an American and get in that car and fap away.

 

[Bluegrass79]

She damn lucky she didn't take a beating. I know many that would've stomped that chick badly. A few scars on that face wouldve gotten her straightened out. Chick needs an ass kicking badly.

 

[KingOfBBN]

I'm sure none of us would like our freakout moments of anger to cost us our jobs or to have us labeled for the rest of our lives.

Granted, I've never said those things that she did but I have said some pretty mean stuff in a fit of rage before that I later regretted like most people do.

Agreed.I have said some harsh things that I have later felt terrible about.I don't agree with her behavior but we are all human and I bet have had moments we wouldn't want caught on tape.

 

[Glenn's take]

Re: ESPN's Britt McHenry goes HAM on Tow Lot Employee

Nothing is going to happen to her. She was born without a penis which means she can get away with it. Had she been a he then she'd be fired.

 

[KingOfBBN]

Re: ESPN's Britt McHenry goes HAM on Tow Lot Employee

at the comment section on there. One of them said "She acts exactly like I would expect someone that looks like her would act."

"Of course she is wearing a north face jacket"

"I'm sure the Starbucks cup is just out of the view of the camera."

Re: ESPN's Britt McHenry goes HAM on Tow Lot Employee

Should accuse the tow truck lady of rape, imo.

 

[Festivus Miracle]

Apologized on Twitter and was suspended for one week.

Great find. What a bitch. You can tell daddy paid for everything. This chick needs to be humbled.

Re: ESPN's Britt McHenry goes HAM on Tow Lot Employee

I remember Redd Foxx's old joke about a woman asking if he could f&#! her and make it hurt. He said yes, so he f&#!ed her and hit her with a brick.


She makes me want to do both.

Her name is Britt.

I'm guessing she's some spoiled rich girl who's never had to do a day's "real" work in her life. Entitled people are the worst.

Also, she's working at ESPN because she is hot. Once that fades, she's got nothing.

BTW, how does someone get a Masters in three years?

[Wall2Boogie]

Wow what a bitch. Sure she's hot, but would you put up with that shit? Her degrading others doing their jobs makes really shows her true colors. I loved how she threw out no teeth and she has a degree lol. Last time I checked bill gates doesn't have a degree is he below the great Britt? She got that's what she's going for her but that video won't win her any points with the way she talks like she's better than an average blue collar worker. Hopefully she gets shit canned from espn for this and gets spit out to the porn industry or put her on assignment covering bowling. I hate people like her that have had little to no success so far yet she acts like she's a white Oprah.

 

[TCurtis75]

The funniest part is that she actually thinks she was hired for her degree...I saw posted that most of the guys she has dated have dumped her...I guess we now know why...If she talked that way to a stranger, I can't imagine the things she would say to a boyfriend or husband when she is pissed at them...She may be hot and would be good for a one nighter but I am running, not walking, as fast as I can away from that crazy train.

This video actually reminds me of the viral video a couple years back where the woman goes apeshit on her husband because he won't take her to the lake...I am guessing if the backlash continues today, that suspension will be extended or changed to something harsher. I do also find it odd that ESPN wouldn't comment on whether it was a paid or unpaid suspension. In the end, I think Disney will make the ultimate decision since they own ESPN. I can't imagine Disney would want someone like McHenry associated with them.

Pssshh. Daisy Duck has been a teasing little bitch to Donald for 60+ years. Disney don't care.

 

[NKYWildcat]

Predatory towing companies are the worst. I had a run-in with one in Lexington when someone stole my parking sticker at my apartment (in Chevy Chase) about 20 years ago and the car got towed. I gave my two cents to the cashier (who I knew did not make the decision to tow my car), paid the $75, and went on my way. My real ire was toward my landlord who wouldn't reimburse me for my trouble despite knowing what had happened. Made my decision to not renew my lease easier. That being said, while I can certainly appreciate someone calling them out, this Britt McHenry isn't the chick to help matters any. As crazy as it sounds, she has actually made people SYMPATHETIC toward predatory towing.
