The Miz recently did a press event while in Singapore to promote some of WWE’s live events in the country. During this he was asked about the controversial Miz TV segment featuring LaVar, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball. As many fans know, the segment had some controversy involving LaMelo Ball who dropped the N-words a few times on live tv.

The Miz spoke about the segment in detail. Here is what he had to say:
“People are still talking about it,”It’s all over all of our sports hubs in America are just talking nonstop about it. They want interviews with me and everything. You know, when you have, you know, celebrities and everything come on our show you know, sometimes things get a little crazy because you never know what they’re going to do, what they’re going to say. You know, it’s one of those situations where, you know, you have a script but sometimes they don’t follow that script.”
The Miz said that he knew who the Ball Family were because he is a big basketball fan. He also feels like WWE trusts him to put him in these kind of spots with celebrities.
He also understands why WWE brings in celebrities like the Ball Family:
“Because we have thousands of our fans who are diehards who just want to see us, WWE Superstars. They don’t want to see celebrities but we also have to cater to everyone. You know what I mean? We want more people to love WWE and to love our product so we bring, you know, outside celebrities in to help generate that because maybe they might not be diehard fans of LaVar Ball but there might be LaVar Ball fans out there who want to see what he’s going to do and now with all the attention we generated, maybe next week we’ll have more fans because of the people that were like, ‘Wow, you know what. I like that, I’m going to keep watching it now.’ So that’s kind of what it’s all about in my opinion.”
