Michelle Beadle of Access Hollywood fame unwittingly (?) became part of an altercation with WWE’s Divas Champion AJ Lee. The scenario took place back stage prior to a Tribute to the Troops event in Pierce County, Washington. It seems Beadle spoke to CM Punk–Lee’s real life boyfriend–prior to the event, and that caused Lee to react in her rather outlandish WWE persona.

Lee is now in trouble for reportedly “causing a scene” backstage in reaction to Michelle Beadle’s remarks. She is said to have gone off on Beadle like a crazy person.

So what did Michelle Beadle say that is causing such a fuss? It seems she addressed her old friend, using the endearing term “f*ck face.” She explains what happened via Twitter.

That’s certainly not the same Michelle Beadle persona Access Hollywood fans are accustomed to seeing–but she clearly had on her sports reporting hat Wednesday night. Some media reports claim the entire thing was staged. Beadle hasn’t addressed that rumor.

Is AJ Lee in big trouble now that she went off on Michelle Beadle? Was the whole thing contrived–and if so, why?

Has Michelle Beadle ever struck you as the kind of person to address someone as ‘F*ck face?’ Isn’t it fun to see what often lies just underneath those sweet television smiles?
