*Tiffany Haddish’s appearance at the NFL Honors ceremony ignited criticism from football fans and sports commentators. The comedian faced backlash after announcing New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel as the NFL Coach of the Year and stumbling over the pronunciation of his last name during the live event in San Francisco.
While his surname is pronounced “vray-bull,” Haddish said “verbal” when presenting the award, a moment that went viral and prompted sharp reactions from viewers.
Haddish addressed the controversy while attending Shaq’s Fun House on Friday. Speaking to the Daily Mail, she defended her approach and stood by how she read the name aloud onstage. “I pronounced that coach’s name the way that it was written,” she said when asked about the criticism.
