ESPN anchor Jemele Hill said on Saturday she “deserved a suspension” from the sports network after she called for fans to boycott the NFL and called President Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter, two days before she is set to return to work.

Hill told TMZ Sports in an impromptu interview at Los Angeles International Airport that she put “ESPN in a bad spot.”

“ESPN acted what they felt was right. I don’t have any argument,” Hill told TMZ Sports. "After my Donald Trump tweets, I deserved a suspension.”

She said, "I violated the policy. Going forward we'll be in a good, healthy place."

Hill is set to return to work after she was suspended for two weeks when she violated the network’s social media guidelines for the second time, ESPN announced on Oct. 9.

“Jemele Hill has been suspended for two weeks for a second violation of our social media guidelines. She previously acknowledged letting her colleagues and company down with an impulsive tweet. In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how much individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such action would have consequences. Hence this decision,” a network spokesman said in a statement.

Update:

Jemele Hill told TMZ Sports that she will never take back what she said.

"I want people to understand this. There was never any restrictions placed on me, about Twitter. Never. So, I’ll be back on Twitter, and I’ll be my usual self. I’ll never take back what I said. So you can take that to mean what it means."

Hill, who co-hosts "The Six" with Michael Smith, called President Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter.

She also suggested that fans should boycott the Dallas Cowboys' advertisers, after owner Jerry Jones threatened to bench players who did not stand during the national anthem.

Hill told TMZ that she loves ESPN, but still plans to speak her mind on Twitter.
