That Awkward Moment When A Baboon Cops A Feel On Live Television

Yup, you read that correctly.

Recently a video of a baboon holding on to a TV reporter’s breast has gone viral. Fox40 reporter, Sabrina Rodriguez, was the unfortunate individual to experience the awkward ordeal.

The 29-year-old Sacramento reporter, who is Japanese and Puerto Rican, was covering a local harvest festival and was joined by a baboon named Mickey. Within seconds of his introduction, as if he knew when cameras started rolling, he stood up and placed his hand on Rodriguez’s breast.

Rodriguez proved to be quite the professional. “He’s trying to cop a little bit of a feel.” she joked. Even when Mickey didn’t move his hand away, Rodriguez continued with the report which is a much different reaction than many of us may have had. Admittedly, I wouldn’t have been able to keep a straight face.

After the report, Rodriguez was asked if Mickey’s toothy expression was anger or if he was smiling. Rodriguez responded, “I’m gonna go with smiling.”
