So presumably when the FCC managed to get a translation of what was actually said, the evidence of rule violations seemed thin at best. The aberrant language was either changed or bleeped out, said the person familiar with the FCC scrutiny,&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/02\/13\/media\/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-just-had-a-brush-with-the-fcc-sources\/?utm_campaign=maga-s-hopped-up-outrage&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=www.status.news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the New York Post reported.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the celebrity.land reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;While the inquiry into Bad Bunny\u2019s allegedly bad behavior has stalled, another consequence lingers \u2013 namely, how many people tuned in and were turned off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The halftime show was touted by NBC, which aired the big game, and the NFL, for setting record overall ratings.
