Abella Danger, a former adult film star who is now a law student at the University of Miami and a big fan of the Miami Hurricanes, has apologized after ESPN cameras caught her crying after the team lost the NCAA championship game by a narrow margin. The event took place at Hard Rock Stadium on January 19, 2026, when the Hurricanes lost 27-21 to the Indiana Hoosiers in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Fireworks celebrating Indiana’s first title drew attention to Danger. Memes and arguments broke out on social media, which led her to tell TMZ that she was very sorry for any offense her visible fandom may have caused.
Danger, who is from Miami and went to South Miami Middle School near the university, looked upset on TV late in the game. She covered her mouth with tears as she talked about how sad she was about the loss on her Instagram Story, which has 9.5 million followers. She posted videos saying, “I hate this,” but she also called the Hurricanes “still winners” and said they deserved to be in the finals. This showed her loyalty to them since she was 10. This was her most recent appearance on TV, following previous ESPN appearances during Miami’s playoff win over Texas A&M.
Danger said in her TMZ statement that she wanted to stay anonymous like any other student fan. She said she’d “give anything” to avoid the camera focus and apologized to anyone who was upset by her presence. People online reacted with both jokes—calling ESPN “unapologetically horny”—and criticism. This led to leaked contact information and threats, but she stood by her love for the orange-and-green team. Even though there was a lot of criticism, she stood by her support for the Hurricanes and promised to come back stronger.
Danger, a well-known Miami fan, wrote about the team’s quest for a championship, which fell short of their sixth title appearance. Her sad posts after the loss talked about her local roots and dreams of Hurricanes glory, which pushed her away from her past career as she studied law. ESPN has not said anything about the fan selection issue.
