QVC was on the brink of extinction before Toni Brattin put the network back on the map. The home shopping channel’s owner filed for bankruptcy earlier this year amid several longtime hosts retiring. But now, it’s all anyone can talk about, even Jimmy Fallon. The QVC guest appeared on The Tonight Show to give him a special gift after he poked fun at her NSFW slip-up during a live broadcast. Keep reading for all the details on the shocking situation and the fallout.
QVC’s Toni Brattin Makes Embarrassing NSFW Slip Live On Air
Toni Brattin has been selling products on television for 30 years. She got her start on the Home Shopping Network before partnering with QVC. The beauty expert was a guest on QVC earlier this month to sell wigs from her wig line. Toni Brattin was showing viewers the back of the wig when she made a major NSFW slip-up.
She meant to tell viewers that the wig could easily be mistaken for a blowout at your local salon. However, she accidentally said “blowjob” instead of blowout. She barely kept her composure to correct herself before slowly ducking out of the frame while host Terri Conn wrapped up the segment.
The embarrassing mistake went viral immediately, racking up millions of views.
She Reveals How The Network Reacted
Toni Brattin’s stunned reaction to her slip-up was funnier than the word she accidentally said. She whispered, “Oh my god,” to herself before ducking down under the table. She told TMZ that she momentarily froze and thought the cameras would switch to host Terri Conn. But the cameras caught every awkward moment.
Television anchors have gotten fired for less. However, she told the outlet that QVC was supportive after her mistake and even praised her professionalism.
Jimmy Fallon Gets Special Gift After Poking Fun At Her Humiliation
The clip of the blunder really picked up steam after Jimmy Fallon aired it on The Tonight Show last week. He poked fun at the moment by reenacting Toni Brattin dodging down beneath a table.
The embarrassing moment continues to circulate on social media, but Toni Brattin is taking it all in stride. She joined Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show on Monday, August 10, with a special gift for the host.
She presented him with a brown wig from the wig line she was modeling on QVC. He put the wig on, joking that he was “blown away” by the gift. It won’t be long until someone else has an embarrassing flub on live television. Toni Brattin is riding the wave of her mistake until then. Share your reaction to the incident in the comments.
