Earlier this week I was let go from 7 News. I am posting this because I want to be open and honest with all of you. Last year, I participated in a cameo in the recently released Netflix movie by Adam Sandler, "Hubie Halloween". (1/3)
The character she plays is a morning news anchor that is is dressed up as Harley Quinn for a broadcast on Halloween. In doing this cameo in the movie she apparently violated her contract and the station management had to let her go from her position.
Thanks to all my wonderful 7 News viewers and my supportive and great colleagues at the station. Reporting the news to you every morning was an honor and a privilege. I promise to stay in touch and keep you updated on the next chapter - the future is bright! (3/3)
