Sports anchor busted with pic of half-nude Rihanna on live broadcast

One reporter appeared to be trying to find love in a hopeless place – the office.

Jake Gadon, a sports anchor for KOVR, Sacramento’s CBS affiliate, was caught red-handed with a sexy snap of Rihanna on his computer screen.

While it would’ve been bad enough if Gadon was simply caught by a coworker walking by, it occurred during a live broadcast on the TV network.

And if you believe that perhaps Gadon is just a fan of her music, well, check out the carousel of snaps that were on his screen.

Rihanna posted a series of photos to Instagram earlier this week modelling a red bra and underwear from her Savage X Fenty brand.

“Get back in here and love me,” Rihanna captioned the post.

The images were part of a promotional campaign for the Barbados singer’s new Valentine’s Day Loveline collection lingerie, which she announced this week.

If you think that Gadon was researching the singer who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023 for the subject of his report, you would be wrong.

Gadon was reporting on the Las Vegas Raiders firing head coach Antonio Pierce on Tuesday after the team’s disappointing 4-13 season – with no mention of Rihanna at all, obviously.

Gadon, who was doing a TV spot for KMAX, a sister station of KOVR, has yet to publicly address it, though he remains active on X.

In a bit of delicious irony, Gadon on Monday quote-tweeted a post by NFL Insider Adam Schefter joking about a coworker’s “next-level camera awareness” after she accidentally walked into the frame of a live spot.

Perhaps Gadon should’ve upped his “camera awareness” before his on-air gaffe.

Sports fans on social media had a little fun with the incident, though.

“Are there no internet restrictions at the CBS Sacramento offices?” one user posted on X.

“What, uh, what kind of sports research were you doing there, buddy?” another person added.
