A viral clip of Los Angeles Clippers in-arena host Hannah Cormier's hot mic mishap during the Lakers game on Wednesday night is sparking controversy online. The incident occurred during the Clippers' 103-87 loss to the Lakers.
Cormier, in her fifth season with the Clippers and second as in-arena host and MC, was on camera when she appeared to be caught off guard by the live microphone. She quickly regained her composure to introduce a performance, saying, “Clipper Nation, the ladies are back performing to ‘Gemstone’. Give it up for our Clippers spirit!”
As Cormier walked away, a sound resembling a flatulence was captured by the microphone. An X user posted a video of the moment, which has garnered over 390,000 views. The post's caption stated, “NBA reporter farts, stumbles over her words, walks off.”
The sound has led to a debate among viewers, with some asserting it was Cormier passing gas, while others suggest it could have been microphone static or other ambient noise inadvertently recorded. The mishap provided a notable distraction amid the Clippers' performance this season.
