She wasn't trying to make a statement...
M.I.A. may be used to making statements, but she wasn't trying to when she flipped off a camera during the Super Bowl halftime show. A member of M.I.A.'s team told the Daily Mail that it was simply a spur-of-the-moment thing.
"She wasn't thinking," said the person, speaking on condition of anonymity. "It wasn't any kind of statement...[she] was caught in the moment, and she's incredibly sorry."
As previously reported, the incident resulted in NBC and NFL pointing fingers at each other to shift the blame. M.I.A. is likely to be the one hit with any potential fines, as the network and NFL have taken measures to protect themselves.
