# BBC Cuts Live Interview with Corentin Moutet After Multiple Expletives
Corentin Moutet, a professional tennis player, sparked controversy during a live interview at the Queen's Club tournament when he used profanity seven times on air. The incident occurred while he was being interviewed after a match earlier this week.
During the live broadcast, Moutet was discussing a particularly challenging moment in his match when he exclaimed, "F*** I will have to serve," referencing a critical point he faced. As he spoke, the crowd erupted in laughter, but moments later, the interviewer, Drummond, had to intervene to restore decorum. "No f bombs please!" he said, attempting to maintain the broadcast's appropriateness.
The interview took an awkward turn when Moutet continued his outburst, leading Drummond to say, "Right Corentin I'm going to ask you one more question. Apologies everyone for the language there. I'm going to ask you one more question so please keep it clean OK?" This exchange underscored the challenge of conducting live interviews in high-pressure sports environments.
Following the incident, Moutet's raw honesty resonated with many in the audience, highlighting the unpredictable nature of live television and the pressures athletes face during competition.
