A Florida reporter captured viewers’ attention Wednesday when the condom on her microphone flashed on the screen during an outdoor hurricane broadcast.
NBC2’s Kyla Galer was reporting on Hurricane Ian’s landfall from a parking lot in Fort Myers, Florida, when viewers became distracted by the bulbous rubber casing on her microphone.
“NBC 2 practicing safe microphone reporting during hurricane Ian,” tweeted one viewer.
“@NBCNewsNow really got this woman out here holding a mic wrapped in a condom up to her face,” chimed in another.
Galer quickly defended the practice on her Instagram Stories.
