Who’s that Canes fan? Camera pans to adult film star at the ‘natty’
Not since two married coworkers were caught at a Coldplay concert near Boston last year has a crowd shot gotten this much attention.
With less than seven minutes left during the college national championship game at Hard Rock Stadium Monday night, ESPN cameras panned to a young woman in the stands.
Why did the moment go viral?
Because the woman is adult film star Abella Danger. The content creator (born Amirah Day) happens to be a rabid Hurricanes fan and also attends the University of Miami, studying law.
It’s possible the camera gravitated to Danger because she looked emotional as her team was falling to Indiana University’s Hoosiers.
But Internet trolls came out of the woodwork, commenting on X under one reshare that the “cameraman” knew what he was doing. That’s unclear, though, because as we said, Danger is a legit fan.
On Danger’s Instagram Stories, she shared videos of her looking anxious, biting her nails as the clock ticked, writing, “Guys, it’s not OK” as the Hoosiers scored. When the Canes fell behind 27-21, Danger broke down in tears, crying, “I hate this! I hate this!”
But leaving the stadium, the “Her & Him” star, 30, was more philosophical and upbeat, seeing the, um, big picture.
“I don’t care! That game tonight proved that no other team deserved to be in the national!” the influencer yelled to her 9.5 million followers. “Miami deserved that! Everyone counted us out! Those men out there, they were the best of the best! That was not a blowout! That was not an a---whooping ... The only reason I’m sad is these players worked their butt off all season. They’re still winners.”
In a subsequent post, Danger explained why she was so locked in: It’s because she’s 305 through and through.
“I went to South Miami Middle School, five minutes from UM, where we all wore orange and green just like UM,” she wrote. “I have dreamed of being a Hurricane since I was 10 years old. My love for the Canes is unconditional. I am and will always be a Hurricane, and we will be back with a vengeance.”
