Virginia Weatherman Fired Over MySpace Photos

Roanoke meteorologist Jamey Singleton has had some problems in the past with being a heroin junkie. But after nude photos of him showed up on MySpace, the station, WSLS, fired Jamey so fast that it appeared on his “Storm Team Doppler Radar!”

Sounds a bit like a Ron Burgundy moment. From the AP here:

The NBC affiliate WSLS-TV fired meteorologist Jamey Singleton on Thursday after a frontal nude shot of him getting out of the shower was posted on someone else’s MySpace.com site.

Singleton, 28, who was retained earlier this year after admitting he was a recovering heroin addict, said he didn’t blame the station.

“What shocks and what offends ? that’s really up to them,” Singleton told The Roanoke Times. “I can’t blame them if … after everything that’s happened they said, ‘That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.'”

The website for WSLS had already ripped down Singleton’s bio faster than a twister through a trailerpark.
