Britt McHenry Engages in Altercation at Wizards Game

Britt McHenry, a press adviser at the US State Department, was involved in a confrontation with fans during the Washington Wizards' home opener against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Video footage obtained by TMZ showed McHenry appearing to pour a beverage on another audience member before leaving her seat amid jeers.

As she exited, fans threw rally towels in her direction, and she responded with hand gestures and blowing kisses. A shouting match ensued between McHenry and a security guard escorting her out.

Friends of McHenry claimed she was not ejected from the arena and that vulgar comments were directed at her regarding model Winnie Harlow, who is dating Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma. They also mentioned that objects were thrown at McHenry, but the reasons for her actions were unclear.

McHenry had previously worked as an ESPN reporter and at Fox Nation before her role in the Trump administration. In 2015, she was suspended by ESPN for an incident involving a towing company employee.
