ESPN’s Rachel Nichols has apologized to colleague Maria Taylor after a firestorm broke out over a report in the New York Times on Sunday. Nichols took a moment on Monday’s episode of The Jump to address the Times story, which details the fallout at ESPN over the past year over remarks Nichols made about Taylor, who is black. Nichols, who is white, said she was very sorry for those she offended with her comments, especially Taylor. He thanked former NBA stars Kendrick Perkins and Richard Jefferson Nichols for taking charge.
Nichols’ apology comes after The Times released a 20-minute audio clip of a candid conversation between her and PR consultant LeBron James, Adam Mendelson. In the audio recording, Nichols said she was frustrated that ESPN passed her over in favor of Taylor for hosting duties during the NBA Finals, which Nichols called a “diversity” movement. A source told The Times that ESPN’s decision not to penalize Nichols for the comments remains an “active source of pain” in the network.
