" One minute you doing trade good the next minute the speech running across the screen like Sha’Carri Richardson . "

Megan Thee Stallionis being praised for how she handled herself with a tricky teleprompter mishap.

On May 10,Gold Househosted the fourth annual Gold Gala at the Music Center in Los Angeles. The Gold Gala invited entertainers, activists, artists, and more to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders as well as influential figures in the industry who’ve remained allies to the AAPI community, like the Hot Girl Coach, Meg.

Megan wore a black, custom sculptural dress by Chinese designer Quine Li paired with Stuart Weitzman stilettos.

Megan received the One House Honor for support of Asian Pacific culture throughout her career, which includes her TikTok-viral single “Mamushi,” featuring Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba.

In aviral videoshowing Megan receiving her award, she struggled with the teleprompter during her acceptance speech, but the way she bounced back in the end had her fans singing her praises. (Ahh 👅)

She appeared to have difficulty seeing the teleprompter.

Megan explained her reason for relying on the teleprompter.

Even with the teleprompter on deck, she still managed to hilarious fumble over her speech.

But Megan recovered and delivered a heartfelt speech recognizing her commitment to appreciation and allyship toward Asian Pacific culture.

Megan’s ability to laugh at herself and quickly bounce back from the teleprompter flub really resonated with fans who agree that public speaking isn’t always so smooth.

“I’m embarrassed for her .. but glad she laughed it off,” another user wrote.

“Teleprompters are not easy!” another person wrote. “One minute you doing good the next minute the words running cross the screen like Sha’carri Richardson. This has nothing to do with her being educated so yall stop it.”

This fan reminded everyone, “Listen she went to school already, don’t do her.”

“Give her grace! We all make mistakes. That’s why there is an eraser on pencils,” another user said in defense of Megan.

Nothing can keep my girl Meg down — especially a few funky words from a teleprompter (or haters in the comment section).
