“This stunt she pulled; she did not tell people she was going to pull this stunt. She was supposed to talk about what she hated about Red Dead Online’s multiplayer and instead at the last minute without telling any of the other hosts switched the script on the teleprompter and gave that big speech which created huge negative PR for the company” shared my source.

Shockingly, very little of the original harangue was organic. Even the audio and visuals — the seal-clapping by Adam Sessler and the screams of supportive banter “get em Frosk” — were pre-recorded for a different segment and added in post to cover up the stunned silence of the hosts on set who immediately understood how damaging this speech would be to both their careers and the company.

According to an unverified rumor shared with me, Frosk supposedly evaded firing at the time because some in executive leadership which shared her politics, protected her. Like so many companies before or since, Comcast attempted to use the outrage to fuel growth. Senior Vice President Blair Herter’s tweet mentioned those critics: “If you don’t HEAR the below, unfollow me and don’t watch us. We are not for you.“
