Michelle Beadle had an unexpected slip-up during a recent live broadcast when she mistakenly used the ‘N-word’ while referring to the Denver Nuggets. Attempting to discuss the NBA team, she accidentally misspoke, and the incident instantly sparked laughter from her co-hosts, former NBA players Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams. Although Beadle quickly corrected herself, the reaction from her colleagues and the viral spread of the clip made it a moment fans wouldn’t soon forget.

The incident occurred during an episode of Run It Back, FanDuel TV’s sports commentary show, as Beadle and her co-hosts analyzed the Nuggets’ recent game against the Miami Heat.
As Beadle attempted to say “Nuggets,” she accidentally used a racial slur. Immediately realizing her error, she continued smoothly, but Lou Williams couldn’t help but joke about the slip-up, laughing as he quipped, “You’re going to be in trouble today.” The light-hearted atmosphere turned the potentially controversial moment into a funny, memorable instance of on-air camaraderie.
The audience reaction online, however, wasn’t as forgiving. Social media exploded with responses, with some fans questioning if the slip was accidental or if it pointed to something more habitual. Comments ranged from joking about the ease with which Beadle seemed to say the word to outright criticism.
The slip-up has added an unusual chapter to Beadle’s long career, which spans over two decades. Known for her straightforward and energetic approach, Beadle has worked with some of the biggest names in sports media, including ESPN, Fox Sports, and NBA TV. She began her career with the San Antonio Spurs, where her ties to the city and team helped her establish a strong foundation in the sports industry. Her career grew from there, leading to high-profile roles on ESPN’s SportsNation, ABC’s Winners Bracket, and FanDuel TV’s Run It Back.
Beadle’s years in broadcasting have seen her cover everything from the NBA Finals to Super Bowl events, often alongside big personalities like Colin Cowherd, Jalen Rose, and Mike Greenberg. Her slip-up, though unintentional, serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of live broadcasting and the humor it can bring, even if it’s at the broadcaster’s expense.
Parsons and Williams’ laughter and teasing helped lighten the mood, turning the moment into an amusing behind-the-scenes look at the often high-pressure environment of sports reporting.
In the past, Beadle also found herself addressing a humorous yet awkward situation involving NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. This incident began when Sharpe accidentally went live on Instagram, sharing an intimate, unintentional moment where he could be heard breathing heavily with a woman’s voice faintly saying, “Michelle.”
Even though Beadle may face a few awkward conversations over the incident, her years of credibility and professional achievements are likely to keep her in good standing with fans and colleagues alike.
Fans continue to enjoy her commentary and enthusiasm, as well as the playful dynamic she shares with her co-hosts. Despite the online reactions, the slip is unlikely to overshadow Beadle’s contribution to sports media, especially given the good-natured support from her colleagues and the entertaining moments she continues to bring to her broadcasts.
