ESPN's Britt McHenry Back on the Job After Suspension

Reporter was suspended after surveillance video went viral of a tirade aimed at Arlington towing company employee.

ESPN’s Britt McHenry is back on the job, after a weeklong suspension prompted by a surveillance video that went viral when the sports reporter took aim at an Arlington towing company employee.

She tweeted out more explanation of her apology, over the weekend:

“Back to work. Excited to be covering Caps-Isles today. Now that the suspension is over, I want to say again that I’m so sorry for my recent hurtful actions. My remarks were completely out of line. Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable to speak to another human being in the manner in which I chose that night. That’s not who I am as a person and hope those who only know me from this incident will give me a second chance to prove to you how much I value integrity, character and treating people with respect. --Britt”
