Fox News Host Body Slammed on Live TV in Bizarre Stunt

Fox News host Abby Hornacek was body slammed during a live Fox & Friends segment on Saturday while covering Real American Freestyle, a wrestling event set to air on Fox Nation. In the now-viral clip, Olympic silver medalist and RAF women’s middleweight champ Kennedy Blades, 22, demonstrated a suplex throw by hoisting Hornacek over her shoulder and flipping her onto a mat. The Fox News host had admitted she was “nervous” beforehand, but sprang back up smiling after the stunt, high-fived Blades, and later posted on X: “Got suplexed by an Olympian today. So that was cool.” On air, she said it “looked worse than it was,” calling it “a lot of fun” before joking she’d be staying off the mat. Not everyone watching was so relaxed. The clip sparked alarm online, with commenters calling the move “reckless” and warning Hornacek “almost landed on her head,” while others said she was lucky not to be seriously hurt.
