Cari Champion: Additional Information
Cari is known to be a big fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as the UCLA Bruins.

I don’t know where I got it from, but I’ve been like that all my life. That’s why I love journalism.’ Cari was on November 4th 2014 involved in a media scandal involving her and the comedian Artie Lange, who joked about his sexual fantasy with Cari in a slavery setting, for which he tweeted an apology to her the next day, while ESPN issued a public statement that rebuked his tweets: Cari remained publicly silent.
