mystery Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 They should definitely sue, I don't support cheating but that wasn't a reason for them to get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but sleeping with your co-workers is frowned upon at many work places. Anyways, I guess they need the money to pay for their divorce settlements.

Honestly the network should just be honest and say they have a brand to protect and this scandal reflects poorly on their brand & values, I think its fair enough Edited January 14, 2023 by Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a public figure, your conduct is always has an impact on your employer and can deem you unfit for said position. If this was a camera man or some scriptwriter I would agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have this sort of clause in our employee handbook, and I don't work for a major national TV station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are going to pull up receipts on white coworkers screwing around and not getting the same treatment. Both these heaux are trash and deserve nothing but misery so as long as I no longer see them again I'm fine but i'm sure there is a double standard and these trash buckets will get a settlement/severance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatestLoveofAll Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 i guess cheating isnt exactly deserving to be fired for, but its obvious the company doenst wanna be associated with the mess this has made so it think its fair that they are getting the boot. they are public figures after all they should have expected this to happen eventually or else they would have been out much longer about it.

youreyesgocold Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Y’all on their side are so blind to how the industry works this is ABC, owned by Disney. Any scandal that makes their network look bad makes them look bad - especially if it’s someone on the screen. Similar to how they drop Disney Channel stars for doing reckless things off camera (ie Mitchell Musso, it’s actually in their contract to maintain a good image), they will drop a news anchor for the same reason. People with strong values and opinions on adultery are NOT going to tune in to watch two adulterers discuss the news. This isn’t MY opinion, but it is the opinion of big corporations like Disney who strive to maintain a good image. I wouldn’t be surprised if their adult contracts have some of the same clauses as their teen star ones when it comes to public perception. I sincerely doubt they can win this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
