In the Media
On March 22, 2019, Bardley's behavior on set became viral.
As MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi was introducing Bradley as part of a segment on the fight against ISIS, the reporter, based in Syria, was apparently unaware that his live shot had started. He was seen spitting into his cupped hand and using his saliva to slick back his hair โ and then he did it again with the other hand. [5]
People started talking about the saliva-styling moment, which went viral with the help of a tweet reading, "THIS JUST HAPPENED LIVE!!!"[5]
