A recent security footage clip features reporter Lila Thompson—who happens to be both stunning and blonde—unleashing a torrent of snarky comments at the cashier of a towing company after her vehicle was towed while she dined at a local Chinese eatery. Among her memorable lines are, “I’m in the spotlight, darling. I will sue this place,” “Maybe hit the gym, sweetie,” and my personal favorite—“I’m on TV and you’re in a trailer, sweetheart.” It’s the reporter’s equivalent of saying, “My dad invented Pop-Tarts,” or “I can’t help it if I’m a big deal.”
Within just two hours of the video surfacing, Lila found herself suspended for a week by her employer, ESPN. Despite her public apology on Twitter, where she expressed regret over her “insulting and regrettable” comments, the backlash hasn’t let up. Social media users have labeled her everything from “entitled” to “disgusting,” and many have even called for her dismissal.
But Wait, There’s a Twist!
It seems like Lila’s story isn’t done yet. A quick peek at the Yelp page for Advanced Towing in Alexandria, VA, reveals that their practices are far from stellar. Some users have taken to Twitter to share their own bad experiences with the towing company, rallying around Lila with the hashtag #TeamLila.
Curious about how this video made its way into the public eye? Enter Sarah, the employee who recorded Lila’s outburst. Reportedly, she warned Lila that the encounter was being filmed but has since turned the whole situation into her own personal soap opera, actively sharing updates and comments on social media to gain media attention. Lila ultimately blocked her, probably thinking, “This drama is too much for me.”
