Add Page Six on Google QVC host Toni Brattin has publicly commented on her viral on-air blooper that saw her mistakenly refer to a "blowout" as a "blowjob" during a wig presentation.
“When we’re doing a show, your mind is going 50 directions,” she told TMZ in a remote interview published Thursday.
"You’re thinking of your models, you’re thinking of the mannequin heads going through the colors, you’re thinking of the next positioning to get all the information out to the customers that they’re wanting, right?"
Brattin explained, "So your brain is really kind of multi-functioning, and you’re kind of in autopilot when you’re talking because you’ve said this so many times."
Brattin admitted that in the moment, "You almost say to yourself, 'Did I just say what I think I said?'"
“It was one of those moments, and of course, you can’t grab those words back," she went on. "They’re out there."
“I tried to real quick correct it and say the correct terminology — ‘a blowout at your salon’ — but by then, obviously, everyone caught it," Brattin continued. "I was hearing snickering and then when you’re not supposed to laugh, it just makes it that much more funny.”
Brattin noted that the QVC team was "so kind" following the incident, which she explained "of course" wasn't "intentional."
"I mean, I've only been doing this for almost 30 years," she said. "So to have a blooper like this just innocently come out, you have to go with it.
Brattin said the team told her, "I hope you're able to not be mortified and that you can laugh about it today and in the future," and told her she did "a great job throwing it over to [her] show host."
Brattin was showcasing a “Salon Select Wig” from the back on Wednesday, teasing the wig with her fingers and noting its silky wave pattern and smooth texture, when she blurted out, “Again, it looks like you went and got a blowjob at your … blowout … at your salon.”
The wig designer, clearly flustered by the suggestive verbal slipup, froze up before dropping to the studio floor after the mortifying incident, as a model and co-host Teri Conn attempted to stifle giggles.
Following the gaffe, the TV personality's husband didn't miss a chance to make a joke of it.
During a "CBS Mornings" interview earlier this week, she recalled him waiting for her in the green room, where he told her "there’s a bar of soap waiting for you in your dressing room."
"You know, we all make mistakes from time to time," she added. "This one, after 30 years, just happens to be my biggest blooper ever."
