Controversy on Twitter

In 2011, Rovell tweeted asking his followers to narrate their personal stories on how their businesses were at a loss during the NBA lockout in 2011. One user, ‘Ted,’ fed up with Rovell, created a fake account and came forward with a fake story of how he lost 30% of his business during that period.

Rovell ran the story in CNBC’s column without verifying the authenticity of the story. ‘Tim’ confessed the truth stating, “He’s just such a [expletive] on twitter all the time [I] just got fed up.

Once Rovell had been made aware of his mistake, he issued an apology on his show and said, “There will always be people out there who want their 15 minutes of fame and not really care how they get there.

The most popular of these was 2012, 30 for 30 episodes, “Broke” on ESPN, where Rovell made several false statements on the NFL Players Association Financial Advisor Program. Despite clarifications by the NFLPA, the statements have been included in the documentary.
