Summary
Cindy Brunson posted a lengthy Instagram defense of Holly Rowe, condemning online mockery after an AI video showed Texas coach Steve Sarkisian striking the ESPN reporter.
Brunson said Rowe had mentored her in sideline reporting and supported her even while battling cancer, calling Rowe “one of the best in the business.”
Arch Manning and others in the room had laughed at the clip, prompting Brunson to say critics were wrong to target the Hall of Famer instead of those in the Longhorns press room.
The backlash broadens scrutiny of how athletes and media members reacted to AI-generated content depicting violence against a prominent broadcaster.
