Former ESPN correspondent Britt McHenry showed some signs of poor sportsmanship at a recent NBA game this week.
The 40-year-old — who works as a press advisor at the U.S. State Department under President Donald Trump‘s administration — was seen throwing a drink at someone in the stands, according to video obtained by TMZ.
McHenry was at the Wednesday, October 21, game between the Washington Wizards and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., when things apparently got heated.

According to Page Six, the TV personality was with a male friend when people behind them were “getting loud and obnoxious.” The publication’s source claimed that one of the people behind McHenry began “heckling” Bucks player Kyle Kuzma, who is engaged to model Winnie Harlow.
McHenry, 40, apparently turned around to ask the person to stop making negative remarks about Harlow, 32.
However, that led to a tense back-and-forth that reportedly resulted in a man throwing “a drink on her,” the Page Six source claimed.
McHenry, who had reportedly been “drinking,” responded by “throwing a drink” back at him (which can briefly be seen in TMZ’s video).
As seen in the footage, the Trump staffer then got up from her seat and walked out of the arena. As McHenry exited, she blew kisses to the people filming.

Per Page Six, McHenry was suspended from ESPN in 2015 after she was seen getting into a verbal altercation with a parking attendant in Virginia (though she reportedly said the video footage was “highly edited”).
On September 9, she announced her new job as part of the Trump administration.
“Big news: I am a newly appointed press advisor for the State Department of the United States of America,” she wrote on Instagram. “Honored to serve our country’s highest diplomatic institution. Blessed to work for some amazing people (thank you!!).”
The Wizards won the game against the Bucks with a final score of 128-116.
