Trump aide Britt McHenry ejected from Wizards opening after beer toss incident
State Department press advisor Britt McHenry was escorted out of a Washington Wizards home opener after she tossed a beer at a fan and drew boos.
Footage released after the Washington Wizards' home opener shows State Department press advisor Britt McHenry being forced out of the arena after she threw a beer toward a fan. Sources claim the row began when fans behind her and her male companion directed inappropriate comments at Kyle Kuzma's partner, model Winnie Harlow, prompting McHenry's reaction and a subsequent exchange of objects. Security escorted her out as the crowd booed and tossed trash.
McHenry, a former one outlet correspondent and Fox one outlet commentator, has a history of high-profile media disputes, including a 2015 suspension for harassing a towing-company clerk and a 2019 sexual-harassment lawsuit against one outlet and co-host George "Tyrus" Murdoch that was later settled. The episode highlights the volatile intersection of politics, sports fandom, and media personalities in a highly public setting.
Why it matters
