TV Anchor Claims Firing Due to Curly Hair
Tabitha Bartoe, a recent college graduate, was fired from her role as weekend morning weather anchor at WATE in Knoxville after months of being criticized by supervisors for her appearance, specifically her naturally curly hair. Bartoe said she was let go because her style didn't align with company policy. This is not the first time a woman in television has been fired for not conforming to narrow beauty standards. The situation has sparked outrage and a wave of online support. Bartoe plans to continue her career in media despite the experience.
