ESPN anchor Hannah Storm was caught shoving the hands of a makeup artist out of the way during a live SportsCenter broadcast Saturday night.
It happened just as a video segment discussing Aaron Rodgers' calf injury had wrapped up, apparently ending sooner than everyone expected. As the camera cut back to Storm, a makeup artist was making an attempt to touch up her lips, but was abruptly halted by Storm's quick reflexes as she dished out a stiff-arm.
Storm quickly realized she was on camera and continued right along with the broadcast, but we can only imagine what discussions went on during the commercial break that followed.
UPDATE: Hannah Storm has provided an update on the incident from her perspective:
The makeup artist (a good friend of mine ) would have gotten in major trouble had she been seen on air. Hence, the stiff arm to protect her.

H/T FTW.
