Maria Menounos Bikini 'Lip" Slip
Although this might not be the "most" embarrassing ENF Moment of All-Time, I think Maria Menounos' Bikini "Lip" slip is one of them... if not for the fact that it created a whole new term in the tabloids-- the 'lip' slip. I mean just imagine having such a unique, large scale ENF moment that a whole new term arises from the event.
From what I remember/ gathered from the event, for most of the time, she had absolutely no idea her vagina was hanging out of her bikini while she played in the water. In fact, and most ironically, she stated afterwards that she stayed in the water facing the photographers in order to avoid giving the paparazzi an 'embarrassing cellulite' shot. Unfortunately, her attempts to avoid showing off her ass led to her giving hundreds of photographer's numerous unintentional views of her vagina.
There have been a couple different versions of the story throughout the years. Some state that she was unaware of her bikini malfunction until days later when the photos were posted while she makes it seem like she realized what happened as she left the water. I think it is somewhere in the middle. From her comments, it seems like she realized her bikini was not fitting well, but had no idea how much she had shown until the photos were posted the next day.
Later that day, Maria tweeted "Beach football today w/@MichaelChiklis...paparazzi had some fun! Hope the bikini shots are flattering! Scared!" So I think she knew something was up... however, I dont think she realized to what extent she had flashed the photographers until a follower pointed out that her vagina was showing in some of the photos. Maria reacted with horror: ""no??!!!! Where did u see? Pls tell me ur joking." Either she is playing along or she did not know until later how much she had shown.
A few years later she was interviewed about the now infamous 'lip slip' and she had changed her tune to saying that she knew her vagina was out when she exited the water. Here's what she had to say about the event:
"It was the most embarrassing moment of my entire life. I wanted to just not come up from that water. It sucked...I didn't realize it until I had a problem. We were playing sports in the ocean and a thousand photographers just lined up out of nowhere and I thought 'oh god, now I have to get out of the water and they are going to get an embarrassing cellulite*shot... So I'm like, Okay, I am going to stay in the water. So I stay in the water as long as I could... and I finally come out and I'm like 'these people are not stopping... is Britney Spears behind me?' and ...oh no... my vagina is out."
She even talked about the aftermath of the event:
"It was like a couple minutes before midnight on New Years Eve when my twitter was blowing up... my phone was blowing up... and all my guy friends were like 'now we know what it looks like!!' and I HATED it! I was with all these publicists having a freak attack."
As you can see from the images below, she was clearly unaware for most of the time that her pussy lips were visible as she played in the water. It appears that she bends over at one point to inspect her bikini but by that point it was too late.
From what I can tell, Maria has not been nude in any other circumstance; the only other risqué photos of her are bikini photos. I am sure this was extremely embarrassing for her.
