NFL analyst Chris Berman has been in the business for many years now and it’s pretty evident that he is losing some hair, but to say it on national television is certainly not right as there should be some privacy.
Jemele Hill called out Berman for his thinning hair and stated that no one cares about it. Hill recently decided to talk about the incident that stemmed in 2016 in a podcast where she went to promote her new memoir.
“He called me and he left a voicemail for me,” Jemele Hill stated in the podcast. “And I never listened to the voicemail because as soon as I saw it was him that called…I was thinking to myself, ‘this can’t be good.’
“Because I heard through the grapevine that he was not happy with those comments and it was from some of the producers on NFL Countdown, they told me that.”
Hill tried to explain that she didn’t want to insult Chris Berman. In fact, it was the opposite. Hill wanted to tell people that no one cares about Berman losing his hair because he’s a guy and it doesn’t matter to him. Jemele also pointed out that women need to look presentable every time they are on TV.
Chris Berman left a voicemail for Jemele Hill after the incident
Chris Berman was furious after comments were made about his hairline. Berman left a voicemail for Hill, which she didn’t listen to. The NFL sportscaster only wanted an apology from Hill, which he didn’t get.
Berman then decided to take the matter to ESPN’s upper management demanding an apology from Jemele Hill. ESPN’s VP later asked Hill to apologize, but after listening to the voicemail sent by Berman, she decided to drop the matter.
Why is it 2022 and espn still believes anyone wants to see or hear Chris Berman on their tv
— 𝔅𝔯𝔬𝔱𝔞𝔤𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔰𝔱 𝔬𝔣 ℜ𝔢𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔱𝔶 (@clevelandreaper) November 1, 2022Jemele Hill believes that her comments were not wrong and she was just pointing out obvious facts. “I didn’t think I said anything that was really negative,” Hill recalled to Deitsch. “I was just pointing out what I thought to be obvious facts, the fact that nobody cares that Chris Berman is balding on television. I feel like the world can see, he’s thin.”
No one knows what the voicemail said and Chris Berman still hasn’t received his apology and, most likely, he’ll never receive one.
