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 49-year-old sports broadcaster, recently let go from SiriusXM, gave fans a glimpse of her weekend getaway on Sunday through a social media video. The clip featured scenes of sightseeing, relaxing by the water, and a boat excursion.

“My Croatia Dump has arrived,” Beadle posted on her Instagram. “(We really need to find a better phrase.) Until next time… Or perhaps when I land a travel show…”

In June, Beadle and Cody Decker, who co-hosted the “Beadle and Decker” radio program, ended their stint at SiriusXM. The network chose to fill their slot with a new show by longtime ESPN personality 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.
