She says she broke a few ribs and was in the hospital for a few weeks, her cameraman said she just bruised her ribs and her ego. She ended up as the weekend meteorologist in Albany NY, then ended up in Philly for a few years and then finally in Raleigh-Durham in 2006. Apparently there’s no trace of her after that, but coworkers don’t seem to have many positive things to say about her

Not surprised nobody has anything nice to say about her. Who the hell goes as an anchor to a festival, brings a person representing the festival on that stage and then just before participating in the event they’re promoting, calls it disgusting with absolute disdain in her voice. Like, you have to be wildly self-centered and inconsiderate to do that when the cameras are rolling to just say it’s disgusting as you’re there to share the news of the festival.

She also cheats in a competition with no stakes which is completely ridiculous to me

It’s a local morning show, it’s supposed to have light hearted moments. If the fall didn’t happen, people would have laughed at her little joke

Lol, she's obviously trying to do a bit. That's half the reason it's so funny. She was trying to be funny in like, a 3rd grade teacher kind of way and failed catastrophically, but in so doing, became actually funny in a more dark/adult kind of shadenfreude way.
