WPLG sacks Jilda Unruh for allegedly being drunk on the air

Problem solver or problem maker. Sad that people have such a hard time controlling themselves, probably denies having the problem in the first place. Good luck to her

There is a god……After All 🙂

Didn’t the same thing happen to the anchor from svn? I forget her name but she went to another local station.

Kelly Mitchell went from SVN to PLG after being drunk on the air. Kelly was replaced by Laurie Jennings. Kelly was later let go from PLG. It must have been a hard fall from anchor to beat reporter. Does anyone know the outcome of her breast cancer treatment?

Kelly Mitchell went to work at some local radio station, forget which one now. And she’s beaten the breast cancer

Kelly hostsa call-in show on 850-AM…a real snoozefest.

I love Kelley Mitchell

TVJ is rebranding as NewsChannel 6 right before Nov Sweeps. There will be a total graphic package overhaul,very similar to KNBC,WNBC..The new music they will feature for the opening was used for WNBC from the late 90’s up until about 2002. Its a cut from NBC News Now by Edd Kalehoff, its a great package!

it sucks about jilda. not that she was that nice…but still, i wonder if it’s true about the alcohol or whether it was a mean rumor.

about kelly mitchell, she rocks! love her and if you’ve ever heard her show on 8.50, you will die laughing. she is great. controversial, witty and entertaining. she has a big following already…

about nbc6.. who cares??? lol

So Kelly Mitchell was paired with Craig while she was at WSVN? If so, I dont think that was a cute duo.

no…it was Kelly Mitchell and Rick Sanchez. Personally I think that was the peak of channel 7’s channel 7ness lol.

yep Don is right. talk about drama oozing out of your tv 😀

Was that good or bad? Which one do toy prefer? Kelly and Rick or Craig and Laurie? I was not living in this country when the former were but I loved Laurie when she was at 7. I still do. I a times I thought she was going come throught the screen and come at me I think theyy have toned it down from the time i first got here until now.

OMG, She really went downhill when she left Minneapolis…. I bet the teachers union down there is probably throwing a party this afternoon.

add all the speeding drivers she used to chace up and down I-95 😀

Rick and Kelly would run circles around Rick/Laurie, Craig/Laurie, and especially Craig/Belkys.

sure they would. I they’re competing for Best Anchor Pair in a drama newscast. Sanchez made me turn the channel or slap the mute on him

How were Rick and Laurie together?

Atleast she is not molesting minors or getting bottles stuck up her ass……….she just can’t hold her booze. I would be drinking too if I had to compete will bimbos that are hired based on looks..not ability.

Jilda has enemies because she speaks the truth. “Rob” says thank God because he just cannot stand that she reported the truth on the corruption he engaged in with his boss, using millions in taxpayer money. THAT story is due to hit headlines soon, indictments are coming. Watch out, Rob. We’ll definitely “thank God” then!

I don’t believe this story at all – especially not coming from that Joan Fleischman. Who the hell would believe her anyway? She’s a lunatic constantly against television people.

Jilda is one of the nicest people and has NEVER shown any addiction to alcohol the many times I have seen her. Besides, this whole thing about “passing out.” Has anyone here worked a hurricane? You are delirious in that time and she could have just been taking a nap. \

WPLG has wanted to get rid of her and this was an easy way for them to do it.

looks like we’ve another Bill Kamal minus the other stuff

Bill used to drink sometimes and got pulled over a couple of times

You people have ABSOLUTELY no clue about Jilda. Has anyone of you bothered to think about

A: Anyone who works a “real” hurricane – Hurricane Rita didn’t even come close to us in S. Florida. What’s the big deal that she should be there for 12 hours. The EOC is QUITE comfortable; it has to be.

B: Jilda is a DRAMA queen. If you look at the RECORD, which many of you have not, you will see that with the fact that she has been sued more times than any other reporter in Miami, AND she has been in more SELF created problems by here own design (i.e. went to a HOSPITAL room after a story from a lobbyist in there for a CARDIAC procedure – and was NAILED by PAUL Harvey on nationwide syndicated show; just before the lobbyist SUED her for over 15 million dollars – case STILL pending at this time. Then, she LIED on the witness stand in a FEDERAL case, then she went after her former fiancee only a week after his spinal surgery because he testified against her and her days with Channel 10 were numbered. You see, all you TV junkies, Jilda Unruh covertly provided documents that helped former PLG reporter Art Carlson, remember him, with enough ammo to force a 1.8million dollar settlement from PLG for discrimination when they let him go. The FEDERAL case brought that out. The RECORD shows her EX never called her when she said, and because she was AGAIN, being sued by a teacher for millions, he knew about that also, she used her confidential source in the State Attorneys office, Mark Smith, esq. to have him repeatedly jailed. How do I know he was her source, well, a response to a BAR Complaint filed against him found him ADMITTING it.
Fellow Junkies, it does not end there. You see, Ms. Unruh is upside down on her Mortagage payments, and she is being sued by her EX for MILLIONS because of a little virus she “allegedly” has running around her body that she is taking VALTREX for. Public record folks, now it’s time for the pitbull in pumps to be put out of everyone’s misery. PLG knew about her drinking, and once she played her hand, it was the beginning of the end. Everyone knew the ax was falling, and when Jilda finds out about the next “chapter” in her life that is an alcoholic nightmare, she will likely leave town. She didn’t leave on good terms with Ch 7 in Boston – owned by Ch. 7 Miami, so look to 4, or 6 to hire – but doubtful.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of as the bitch moans

She will be coming to us soon. Stay tuned

Mart…

It’s been almost 5 months…..what is “soon”?

If she’s smart, she’s gone to rehab to drop a few pounds and give up the booze. She has to be back for court though, that lobbyist isn’t gonna let $15 million go, and while she has two lawsuits pending, NO station would be wise to even think about hiring her.

I think they call that negligent hiring, but I’m not an attorney.

Live by the sword, ………

Hey Mart:

It’s now been 9 months, you still think the alcoholic has-been is coming back – she’s going to court on July 17th to face more “music” on a mlti-million dollar law suit against her.

Then, her former fiancee has new dirt to spread all over her career for what she did to him. The Dade county state attorney may also have to face the music for using her position to help Jilda with her fiancee’. Yes, maybe the Feds will be involved.

Too bad… I remember Jilda from the Tulsa Market and as a broadcast journalism student had always admired her.

I also remember Jilda from Tulsa, and I think everyone is being really mean. She’s a good reporter who needs some space. Wasn’t it Jilda who suffered with breast cancer?

That so called reporter cost me 3 days pay. Remember the Bru’s Room exposse’. If I knew that was her watering hole I would have stayed away!!!

Hey Mart:

It’s been almost two years, when’s she coming back? Answer: NEVER!!!!

As to being “mean” to her….it’s CHARMA people, when she does dirt to people, they do dirt back to her….with a dump truck sized LOAD!!!!!

And, no, she was NOT the one with Breast Cancer, that was Kelly Mitchell; at least her I have simpathy for, she admitted the alcohol addiction and worked on it.

I have watched and waited for over two years, and have to laugh at the S. Fl. “savior” and Mart…. Once again people….”Where is she?” Try 123voice.com – pathetic.

Hello Insider…are you the “EX?” You sound like him.

I knew the EX when he was literally going through bloody hell. He was arrested for literally doing nothing. He was arrested and harassed by Jilda who made lots and lots of things up…just to get attention to her alcoholic-drama whirlpool, I mean cess pool. The entire case was over blown by Jilda who should have been arrested for making a false police report.

One of the accusations against the EX, Robert K Seitz, was that while they were together in the Channel 7 studio, with closed circuit cameras whirling away documenting everything…Jilda said he grabbed her finger and tried to force an engagement ring on it. The problem with this wild accusation as I know this guy and he’s one of the nicest, most mannerly people I’ve ever met, who never, ever used drugs or alcohol to change his personality….is that it begged the question:

That if the “jabbing the ring on the finger incident ever occurred, as Jilda claimed…then where the F____ were the TV tapes?”

Well, no one ever defended him or brought forth any of those tapes, proving once again, she was a failed, fat, old has-been who was using Bob to bootstrap her career out of the dumps. I hope he sues the crap out of her and the station and wins millions.

He deserves it…..(A researcher)

No, not him, just someone who had the displeasure to work with Jilda. But, as you all may now know, Jilda has resurfaced – as a Hostess working for the Horse Track. Yes, the pitbull in pumps, the scourge of the school system, the tormentor of the Broward County employees and their mid day breaks at a local watering hole is risen to the depths of seating people at a restaurant.

Yeah, she’s back – just not on the air. Let’s just say that when the station moves to Broward in 12 months +/-, there’s every hope that all the bad baggage will be left behind. As to her “Ex”, the courts overturned all the crap that she put him through and he’s suing her while she tries to hide behind he attorney.

I find the public’s “awe” over news talent to be so blinded by the fact that they get paid so much, and are able to tell a story in front of a camera – when the reality is that everyone behind the camera from the floor personal to the EP (Executive Producer) to the people that make sure the lights are properly set are never recognized.
Exposure has it’s drawbacks.

Jilda was my favorite news anchor when she was in Tulsa on the news at noon i forgot r=the exact name of it.
