Michelle Beadle gets over ugly SiriusXM split with epic vacation
Michelle Beadle might be manifesting her own travel show after her vacation in Croatia. The sports broadcaster, 49, who was fired from SiriusXM last month, shared a behind-the-scenes look at her trip Sunday in a social media clip, which highlighted sightseeing, sunbathing by the water and a boat ride. 'My Croatia Dump is here,' Beadle wrote on her Instagram. '(We really should come up with better terminology.) Until next time… Or I get a damn travel show…' Beadle and Cody Decker of the 'Beadle and Decker' radio show parted ways with Sirius XM in June, as the network decided to replace their time slot with a show hosted by longtime ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith. At the time, Beadle said she felt 'blindsided' by the news of being replaced by Smith — her former ESPN colleague, whom she isn't a fan of. 'Welcome to the 'Lame Duck and Who Knew?' show here,' Beadle said at the time, as Decker yelled 'fired' in the background during their show. 'All I ask is to be treated with respect … Here we are, we're going to do our shows because we're contractually obligated to be here.' During an interview with Front Office Sports, Beadle doubled down on her comments and took shots at Smith. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,' Beadle said. ''The Hollywood Reporter' comes out — and there's his face. I was like, 'I should have known.' That was just kind of gross. I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest.' Beadle, who left ESPN in 2019, explained that she's been at odds with the 'First Take' host for years, dating back to 2014 when she called out Smith on social media for controversial comments made about domestic violence in the wake of ex-NFL player Ray Rice's violent assault on his now-wife. 'I don't respect him,' Beadle said of Smith. 'I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me. This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for like two weeks. I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything. 'I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.' Beadle is the host of 'Run It Back' on FanDuel TV with former NBA players Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams. She also co-hosts the podcast 'Over the Top' with Peter Rosenberg on Wondery. Additionally, the former ESPN host is on select broadcasts for the San Antonio Spurs. Smith's new SiriusXM show will debut Sept. 2.

Michelle Beadle fired from SiriusXM after Stephen A. Smith drama
Michelle Beadle's time with SiriusXM has come to a close. SiriusXM officially parted ways with Beadle and Cody Decker of the 'Beadle and Decker' radio show on Thursday, according to The Athletic on Thursday. 'And we'd like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!!' Beadle posted on X, confirming the news. 'Truly. You don't usually get such love on your way out. Security usually walks ya to the door. You guys rule. 6 hours of how you felt. And you all were heard! Drinks on me…@Decker6 Advertisement Michelle Beadle on the set of NBA Countdown in 2016. Scott Clarke / ESPN Images The network's decision comes just days after it decided to replace Beadle and Decker's time slot with a show hosted by longtime ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith, a move Beadle felt 'blindsided' by. During the show Wednesday, Beadle did not hold back when she opened the segment by acknowledging the network's move.

'Here we are, we're going to do our shows because we're contractually obligated to be here.' Despite remaining mostly cordial during her show, Beadle was a lot more blunt with her thoughts when speaking to Front Office Sports. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,' Beadle said during an interview on Wednesday. Stephen A. Smith, NBA analyst for ESPN, looks on before the Knicks Game 6 series-clinching win over the Celtics at Madison Square Garden.
