Producer Unfairly Doxxed on Kings Media Day Hot Mic Scandal Speaks Out
A producer who says she wasn’t involved in the Sacramento Kings hot mic scandal that’s gone viral speaks out on her behalf
Producer Tristi Rodriguez spoke out against the doxxing she suffered after an embarrassing hot mic incident during the Sacramento Kings Media Day on Monday. The incident, which was caught on hidden microphones during the event, led fans to make assumptions about the identities of the people heard on the recordings and resulted in the wrongful doxxing of several individuals, including NBC Sports Bay Area and herself.
In a post on X, Rodriguez clarified that she was not the person whose voice was captured. She expressed that the past few days have been tough, as she has been dragged into something that had nothing to do with her and watched her name and reputation be tarnished across the internet. Rodriguez emphasized that she was not the voice heard rating the attractiveness of players Ben Simmons and Zach LaVine, who were identified as two of the three individuals whose voices were captured.
She thanked those who quickly recognized her professionalism and supported her during this difficult time. Rodriguez covers the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and the San Francisco 49ers.
