Abella Danger expressed her frustration with ESPN after the network featured her on a national broadcast during the College Football Playoff Championship on Monday night.
The camera caught the adult film icon, who currently attends the University of Miami, in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium as her beloved Hurricanes trailed the Indiana Hoosiers late in the game.
The shot aimed to capture the disappointment of Miami fans, and Abella’s visibly upset reaction quickly went viral across social media platforms.
While Abella frequently attends Miami games, she told TMZ Sports that she wished the network had not filmed her during this specific moment.
She noted that she wants to support her team like any other student without the added scrutiny of a national television appearance.
The cameo sparked a wave of jokes and debates online, with some viewers questioning if ESPN producers knew her identity when they chose her for the crowd shot.
Abella apologized to anyone who felt offended by her presence or the broadcast's decision to show her.
She explained that she values her education and her role as a student, and she hopes to keep a lower profile while attending university events.
"I wish I could be any other student supporting my team," she stated, emphasizing her desire to separate her public persona from her life as a college sports fan.
The Hurricanes ultimately lost the championship game to the Hoosiers, adding to Abella's disappointment for the evening.
ESPN has not yet commented on the broadcast choice or the social media reaction that followed.
As Abella continues her studies, she remains a dedicated supporter of the Hurricanes, though she clearly prefers to stay off the big screen during future matchups.
