Viral Moment at Grammys: AP Reporter Apologizes for Microphone Handoff
Los Angeles, California - An Associated Press reporter has apologized for interrupting an interview with Babyface on the Grammys red carpet to pass her microphone to Chappell Roan.
The incident occurred when AP's Krysta Fauria and Leslie Ambriz were speaking with Babyface. Fauria noticed Roan approaching behind them and called out to her. Babyface turned and encouraged the reporters to interview Roan instead. Ambriz apologized to Babyface and handed her the microphone.
Fauria later addressed the situation in another interview, expressing remorse for the interruption. "I want to apologize for interrupting Babyface earlier," she said. "Chappell Roan had come up, and there was a lot of commotion on the carpet. I'm a big Babyface fan, and I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry."
