Reporter Rachel Menitoff from KTLA News in Los Angeles went viral on social media after a video of one of her live broadcasts, conducted in July of this year, reappeared online. In the video, the journalist appears during a live transmission when a flying cockroach unexpectedly lands on her body. The insect can be seen crawling across the reporter's body, passing by the microphone, and finally flying away.
Rachel endured the situation and continued with her segment until the end of the presentation, without showing viewers any sign of discomfort. The tension only showed once the camera was turned off. The video shows the reporter shaking her shoulders and trembling while looking for the insect, being asked by someone outside the frame how she didn't move during the incident.
With good humor, Rachel later joked on her Instagram profile that the cockroach was trying to steal the show. The KTLA station also shared the video on the X platform, praising the journalist's professional demeanor during the unexpected situation.
