"We are here in Los Angeles!"
The booming voice of "Hollywood Heat Live!" host Marlon Williams was heard by millions of viewers who tuned in to watch the A+ Network's coverage of the Film Trust Awards. After a shot of the beautiful California sky, the camera cut to the smiling faces of Williams and his co-host, Kylie McCullough.
"We're so glad you could join us tonight!" said the petite blonde beauty, her diamond earrings as white as her smile. Her hourglass figure was clad in a beautiful light-blue dress. The very thin diamond straps of the dress seemed to barely support her large breasts; Marlon couldn't help glancing at her cleavage.
"You look smashing, darling!" Kylie said to her co-host, who indeed looked dapper in the tuxedo that covered his large, muscular frame. Kylie touched his earring jokingly and brushed him on his smooth brown hand; Marlon smiled, glanced at her cleavage again and turned back to the camera.
"Well, the nominees are on their way," Marlon said.
"Oh, I can't wait," Kylie replied. "I'm so excit--whoa!"
Suddenly, one strap of her dress snapped, and her right breast was fully exposed. Marlon's eyes bulged as he looked at her beautiful tit; only the loud flash of photography bulbs snapped him out of his frozen state.
"Oh!" he yelled, whipping off his jacket and throwing it over her chest as she hid her nipple with her hand. The station cut to a commercial, and when they returned, Marlon and Kylie were nowhere to be found, only shots of the celebrities on their way to the Microsoft Theater.

Video of the wardrobe malfunction quickly went viral, and the photo of Marlon's eyes bulging as he stared at Kylie's exposed breast became a popular Internet meme. Marlon and Kylie were assailed on social media and in the entertainment press. Marlon was fiercely criticized by some civil-rights activists for playing into old stereotypes about black men lusting after white women, and by some feminists for treating his co-host as a sex object. Anti-obscenity crusaders lambasted Kylie for not wearing a bra underneath her dress, and for not apologizing for the incident (ignoring the fact that the A+ Network had placed both Kylie and Marlon under a gag order, preventing them from discussing the incident in any capacity until further notice). The incident even made headlines in Kylie's native Australia; the Brisbane native was horrified when her mother, Patricia, called her two days after the wardrobe malfunction and told her that the Daily Telegraph had labeled her "Kinky Kylie," suggesting in a report that she probably wasn't wearing panties either and that Marlon was her lover.
"I mean, he is a handsome bloke, but you're not with him, are you?"
"No, mum, we're just friends."
