Overview
- Video obtained and published Oct. 22 shows Britt McHenry throwing the contents of a cup at a spectator during the Washington Wizards home opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Footage also shows McHenry leaving her section to boos as rally towels and other items were tossed in her direction while arena staff intervened.
- Coverage diverges on whether McHenry was escorted out or left voluntarily with TMZ reporting she left on her own and Page Six saying security removed both parties.
- Representatives for McHenry and the U.S. Department of State declined to comment and no police reports or arrests were cited by local authorities at the time of reporting.
- The incident revives attention to McHenry’s past controversies as a former ESPN and Fox commentator and may increase scrutiny of her role at the State Department and of arena security procedures.
