"It was so weird" - WWE star Liv Morgan reacts to viral video of her ignoring man at New York Knicks game
A clip of WWE SmackDown star Liv Morgan went viral last night for seemingly wanting to be anywhere in the world besides next to a poor fellow who was trying to talk to her.
Liv's popularity has grown tremendously as of late. She had the best year of her career last year as she captured the SmackDown Women's Championship for the first time. The 28-year-old is currently not booked for a match at WrestleMania but is still breaking the internet without even trying.
Speaking on this week's WWE's The Bump, Liv explained what happened last night at the New York Knicks basketball game and laughed at how things randomly went viral. She noted that the man talking to her was Senior Vice President of Live Events, Justin Scalise.
"It is so weird to me, like what goes viral and what doesn't. First of all, we had no idea that we were even being filmed. We had no idea that camera was on us, which doesn't excuse anything. That is Justin Scalise who works her for WWE. He is incredible," said Liv Morgan. [From 00:21 to 00:37]
Liv added that she was distracted by the game and apologized to Justin once she realized the footage had gone viral.
"My phone was just blowing up and I see this footage and I'm like 'Oh my gosh Justin, I am so sorry'. He's been such a great sport about it, but yeah, I don't know. It is the most bizarre and weirdest thing. It was so weird, but let's say I was ignoring him. It is women's history month and we have every single right," added Morgan. [From 00:52 to 01:19]
We all saw that viral clip of @YaOnlyLivvOnce at The Knicks game last night, but there's more to the story than that clip shows... 😂
