Australian Reporter Apologizes for Viral On-Air Moment at the Olympics  Admits She Was Drinking
"Literally, the like, the price of coffee over here is actually fine, Mason said from Italy as her colleagues could be heard laughing. It's more the price of coffee in the U.S. that we are gonna have to get used to. I'm not sure about the iguanas. Where are we going with that one? But anyway, let's get into today's sports because there is plenty happening back home."
"On Thursday, Mason confirmed she had been drinking when she apologized on-air and claimed to have totally misjudged drinking before the broadcast. The report continued: I want to take full responsibility, it's not the standard I set myself, she said in her live apology on the Thursday edition. So in saying that, I'm genuinely really sorry and I'm thanking everyone for those messages I've received as well."
Danika Mason appeared to slur her words during a live sports segment from Italy while covering the Winter Olympics, opening with a rambling remark about coffee and iguanas as colleagues laughed. Her speech remained clearly slurred through the clip, prompting studio host Karl Stefanovic to suggest cold weather can sometimes affect one's speech. Mason later confirmed on-air that she had been drinking before the broadcast, apologized, said she had misjudged drinking prior to going live, took full responsibility, described the incident as below her standards, and thanked viewers for their messages.
