Pretty well known that Mayor Broome and the police chief hated her since she was the only reporter in Baton Rouge who’d call them out on things.


I didn't know that but now that I do, I like her even more.

seems like she was on the same side as most.


Might have been, but that all appears to be quoting the governor not necessarily her broadcasting her own stance.

WTF did she do? She is a good journalist and if WAFB fired her, they let one get away and one of their competitors will scoop her up quickly.

Good for whoever hires her next and shame on you, WAFB.


She may not have done a damn thing. She may just be leaving for another job. Read Gallagher's post again...he's speculating.

Unless the reporter is some long-standing evening news desk anchor who's retiring...TV/Radio sendoffs are extremely rare. One day they're just not there and then a few weeks later you'll see them pop up in a new market.

A write-up slip from elementary school showed she called a fellow 2nd grader poo-poo face.


That 2nd grader was black

Shes probably just going to another network or something, it's not like that's a direct quote from the news station or anything

Based on the BRPD press conference the other day, it is abundantly obvious that BRPD needs no help looking like fools.

The very first reform that they need to make is that all commanders have at least a 9th-grade vocabulary and limit the phrase "um" to four times per sentence.

Her contract wasn’t renewed per someone I know who knows someone else who knows her. I’m sure her employer hasn’t been thrilled with her dating partner being a news topic on multiple occasions in the past few years.
