KTLA anchor Mark Mester fired after emotional on-air defense of Lynette Romero

"You would not believe the temper tantrums and the weird things that set him off,” said one longtime newsroom employee. “You’re constantly afraid you’re going to say the wrong thing.”

I'd still let him go balls deep in me.

Are on air news personalities imploding at record rates?

He's gay. Yes, I know he has a "girlfriend." GAY!

Huge penis too!

Mester is hot for sure but a major DIVA. You can tell under that fake happy mask he wears on camera.

R2 let's talk more about his big dick. Please tell me you have first hand experience with it.

KTLA is like gayville.

Does Mark know who Mr. Fister is?

by Anonymousreply 6September 25, 2022 10:54 AM

I have no idea who these people are but I watched his message, and it was heartfelt and obviously emotional for him—his voice was quivering—and he said something quite telling: "As long as I am on this program, we're going to be honest and we're going to operate with integrity."

And apparently, that crossed the line for the news network.

Mester doesn't need KTLA, he will land on his feet.

[quote] $27.5K - $34.9K a year is Indeed's estimated salary for this role in Nashville, TN

Local TV news broadcasting is a job for people whose egos require fame at any cost. Given their salaries, I am not surprised so many narcissistic gay guys get into these jobs and end up cracking up and doing porn. It pays better and it gets them the attention their egos demand from the audience they want most.

I'm struck that Mark Mester's gay voice has been converted into the exact same deep broadcaster voice that David Muir's gay voice became.

Is there a conversion camp just for gay voices?

by Anonymousreply 10September 25, 2022 11:39 AM

R10 Yes, there are voice coaches who train gay guys to not talk gay.

He can make more on OnlyFans than KTLA pays.

"Mark has hired an attorney and is exploring legal options against KTLA," the source told E! News.

Mark looks like the kind of straight guy who would keep an immaculate hole, and therefore good for rimming.

He doesn't strike me as a straight guy at all. He gave an impassioned speech about honor and righteousness while his voice cracked. Had he been ranting against gay or black people or in favor of JAYZUSS he'd be straight. But no; he was ranting in defense of the mentorship of his honorable best female work friend. Gay gay gay.

by Anonymousreply 27September 27, 2022 10:08 AM

The station gaslit her and the viewers, releasing a statement that also made her look bad:

[quote]KTLA news director Pete Saiers said in a statement to Variety: “After 24 years, Lynette Romero has decided to move on from anchoring our weekend morning news. We really wanted her to stay and KTLA Management worked hard to make that happen. Lynette decided to leave for another opportunity. We had hoped she would record a farewell message to viewers but she declined. Lynette has been a wonderful member of the KTLA family and wish her and her family the best.”

[quote]Romero addressed her departure via Twitter on Sept. 14, writing: “I will always be grateful for the love and affection L.A. viewers have given me. Stay tuned my friends I’ll be right back.”

The non-mention of an employer is of course code of they did of course fire her and she didn't just leave, and now they try and stick it on her. Not an employer you want to work for. I hope they are both off to fairer waters. And, ... good for him. Bending yourself into a pretzel and grovelling to bosses makes you ugly on the inside, where it sticks and stays.

The station's original memo:

[quote] This selfish bitch tried to convince us that she deserved more than $62,000 a year just because she has been with the station for 24 years, and because the station manager is paid over $200,000 with huge annual bonuses. Who does this whore think she is? We even give her dental insurance! You wouldn't believe how much work she's had done on our dime! So we told her, 'listen, don't mean to be mean, but you're old for everyday life, much less for television. What do you think your options are? Do you think MSNBC or Fox is going to give you a million dollars? Maybe 24 years ago, but you chose to stick around, you chose 'loyalty.' There's no place in this business for that kind of naivety. Now pop in your chicken cutlets, sit at the desk and smile your way through news of children burned to death. Your banter with the weather guy better be extra good today. Then, she had the nerve to tell us she was uncomfortable reading personal editorials about politics attributed to her and written by a far-right corporate executive. Excuse me?! Why is the first we've ever heard of this? When did this woman get the idea she owns her own thoughts. She's lucky to have a job, and we told her so. Anyway, as you now see, she miraculously got another offer. Don't let the door hit you on your aged ass, Honey. There are plenty of pretty ladies with journalism degrees ripe for the picking on OnlyFans. We wish her all the best.

Good for Mark. They did Lynette (and him) wrong and are very popular. I hope they both land better gigs.

by Anonymousreply 40September 27, 2022 6:55 PM

It sounds like Romero may have already had her next gig lined up, since it's already known that she's joining KNBC, also in Los Angeles.

Perhaps that's why KTLA wasn't that enthusiastic about her departure?

R41 It sounds like her contract came to a natural end and she got a better offer and tried to negotiate with it and her longtime network said NOPE, so she checked out, and then everyone took it personally and it ended poorly. That seems fairly typical. I'm at that place with my job of close to 15 years now and I feel like if I got another job with a better offer, the CEO at my employer would resent me for leaving even though I am taken for granted.

by Anonymousreply 45September 28, 2022 10:23 AM

R45 Yep, if that's what happened, then I can say I've seen something like that happen more than once with long-time managers. It's like suddenly they're person non grata, with higher-ups taking it personally like they've been betrayed.
