When TNT panned through the crowd to show celebrities at the NBA All-Star Game, they focused on Rihanna for a second. They probably didn’t look at the words on her right knee:
Rihanna tried to hide her ‘F*** Off’ pants at the All-Star Game
TNT didn’t notice the words on Rihanna’s pants.


Rihanna tried to cover it up, but the phrase still got on the broadcast.
Since they’re not a broadcast company, TNT isn’t going to get fined for this, but they go to lengths to avoid accidental profanity on their NBA broadcasts -- the game is broadcast on a slight delay so somebody can censor obscenities yelled by players picked up by the broadcast microphone. If you ever notice the audio going dead for a second on a play around the rim, that’s what’s happening.
