How to use embarrassingly in a sentence?

1. Denzel McCampbell:

   At a time where report after report cites the city of Detroit's harmful treatment of Black Lives Matter protesters –and the enormous waste of taxpayer money to lose embarrassingly in court after trying to intimidate them, the city's use of discriminatory facial recognition technology, and the fact that people still do not feel safe despite spending $300 million per year on police –it's disappointing and unproductive for Chief Craig to run to the cameras to call for Congresswoman Tlaib's resignation, one would think Chief Craig has more important things to do.

2. Del Rio:

   It was, I guess, shocking. Embarrassingly bad for a person in that position to have those kinds of thoughts and to express them like that. I don't have much respect for it.

3. Dan Gainor:

   It's almost predictable that some idiot online will write an outlandish story connecting Trump to the villain du jour, all designed to generate web traffic and ad dollars. We worked through all the major historical villains the media could tie the president to -- Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini. They called him a strongman, a dictator and worse. Now it's Manson, Weinstein and probably Mugabe, the media are running out of hyperbole. It's all embarrassingly stupid. No one gets held to account for it. And the cycle begins again with the next clickbait article.

4. Michelle Anthony:

   I would jump at the tiniest sound, friends would suddenly walk up next to me and I would embarrassingly yell out in fear. I locked my bedroom door at night and I often put things in front of the door to block it, 'just in case'.

5. Jeff Toobin:

   I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera, i apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.
