NBC Brings Bode Miller to Tears by Repeatedly Asking About His Dead Brother - VIDEO
Olympian Bode Miller won his sixth Olympic medal, making him the most medaled alpine skier and the oldest to win a medal, but forget all that because NBC just wants to remind him his brother is dead.
So much so that they brought the man to tears because they wouldn't stop asking him about the passing of his snowboarding sibling Chelone "Chilly" Miller, who died last year at 29 from a seizure possibly due to possible complications with a motorcycle accident.
You can watch the NBC reporter Christin Cooper make him break down above.
However, Miller doesn't want you to blame her. As he told fans on Twitter:

Explained NBC in a statement, "Our intent was to convey the emotion that Bode Miller was feeling after winning his bronze medal. We understand how some viewers thought the line of questioning went too far, but it was our judgment that his answers were a necessary part of the story. We’re gratified that Bode has been publicly supportive of Christin Cooper and the overall interview."
