ARLINGTON, Texas, April 16 (UPI) -- Like most of us, ESPN's Britt McHenry isn't very keen on having her car towed. Unlike most of us, she's on TV and now being recognized in a video, shown berating a tow lot employee.
In the video, McHenry is told she is on camera, yet insists to insult the employee with jabs such as: "So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing?" and "Lose some weight, baby girl."
"I'm in the news, sweetheart, I will fââg sue this place," McHenry said.
The Live Leak video has more than 52,000 views.
