During a live broadcast of “The Wendy Williams Show” on Tuesday, Fox5 in Atlanta abruptly cut to a commercial just as former sportscaster Jemele J Hill was about to talk about her previous criticism of President Donald Trump.

According to Jezebel, Hill, who had been suspended from ESPN and eventually left the network after linking President Trump to white supremacy on Twitter in 2017, was about to comment about the controversy when, what the network called a “technical glitch,” occurred.

In a later statement to Jezebel, Fox5 explained away the interruption and promised that the entire episode would be rebroadcast “…tomorrow morning from 3am-4am.”
