More Than 2,000 FCC Complaints Target Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Show

Regulators say the NBC broadcast followed indecency rules.

Overview

  • The complaint cache, obtained Friday by TMZ, revealed more than 2,000 viewer messages to the FCC that labeled the halftime set as sexualized, vulgar, or inappropriate for children.
  • FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said a review found no violation of agency rules, as the broadcast used radio‑safe versions of songs and cut explicit references in tracks like Tití Me Preguntó, Monaco, and Safaera.
  • Dozens of messages objected to Spanish‑language lyrics and used anti‑immigrant framing, while reporters noted many submissions appeared templated or AI‑generated.
  • Texas filed the most complaints with 226, followed by Florida with 182 and California with 156, according to the newly released records.
  • Conservative organizers ran a concurrent “All‑American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock, underscoring how the performance became a political flashpoint even as NBC’s telecast drew about 128.2 million viewers.
