Have you always suspected that the"chummy" vibe between news co-anchors was just way too good to be true?
You may be right. At least, that's the way it turned out in one recent situation.
A male news anchor for a Philadelphia news station was bounced from his job, when it was discovered that he had secretly been derailing his female co-anchor's career.
How?
The crafty dude hacked into her computer, snooping on his colleague's personal emails 537 times, to be exact, and leaking out juicy tidbits to tabloids, including her arrest for allegedly punching out a cop. Not only did it cause embarrassment to the lady anchor, but it may have led to her dismissal from her job.
What inspired this viciousness?
As usual, money and sex. According to the male anchor, his co-anchor had an inappropriate relationship with him, something she denies. Probably the biggest reason for his dastardly actions was that he found that she was making $80.000 more than he was.
Once his deeds were discovered, he was fired and arrested by the Feds.
He is unlikely to get any time, but his career is pretty much toast.
His co-anchor is suing her former employers for dismissing her.
