Former ESPN hosts Jemele Hill and Britt McHenry traded barbs over the weekend after Hill accused McHenry of “racism” in a tweet.
“Does anyone actually watch this show?” McHenry asked her followers on Instagram on Friday, criticizing ESPN’s Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre and pointing to their show, “High Noon,” as an indication that the network prioritizes “filling demo’s over talent.”
“Be careful, your racism is showing,” Hill wrote on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of McHenry’s post.

“Had she just said she didn’t like the show, i wouldn’t have said anything. But she immediately suggested that they were on tv because of her race. These guys are my friends, and she’s a moron for belittling them in that way,” she later explained on Twitter.
