YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA meteorologist at an ABC TV affiliate in Tennessee tweeted that she has been axed from the local news station — and signaled it was because she had “curly hair” and isn’t a “size 2.”
Tabitha Bartoe has ended her weekend morning weather anchor gig at Knoxville, Tenn.’s WATE 6 “On Your Side” after just four months on the job, according to her LinkedIn page.
In a Twitter post, Bartoe shared a message to viewers letting them know “the sad news” that her “time at WATE has come to a close” — and suggested that she was fired because of her appearance.
She continued: “One thing I will say, is that I hope that in the future, we all learn to appreciate and accept people for who they are. For their appearance, for their STYLE,” Bartoe tweeted.
“Everyone is beautiful and professional in their own ways. No matter if you have CURLY HAIR, or you’re NOT a size 2, but a size 12.”
