New York City Weatherman Fired After Webcam Nudes Leak

[JoeWinkoReturns]

I actually started a petition for him to get his job back: https://chng.it/b5Hk9n6YMz

it's tottally not fair for someone to be punished for this! I'm going to try to get it as many signatures as possible and then emailing it to whatever news organization he worked for. I definately feel like it's worth a shot at least.

If a man were posting videos to a channel talking about how he wanted to fuck his female coworker, nobody would be defending this guy and she'd have a cause of action against him for creating a hostile work environment.  It was NOT a private message. It was something he broadcast in a manner that strangers could find. Again, sorry someone sent it to his mother(assuming that part is even true) but this guy needs help.

So you're not into roleplaying or verbal sex?  Okay - that's fair.  But why judge him for it?   I am with the Beastie Boys on this:  Fight for your right.

I'm baffled by the psychological need that overpowers individuals (other than those in the biz) with the desire to display themselves to the masses in such a base manner.

The first casualty was obviously common sense for a high-profile media personality to engage in such a way on a social media platform.

I wish him well for a full and timely recovery but asking an employer to absorb behavior of this nature is asking a lot.

Perhaps a better Beastie Boys reference would be….

 

As in….he "sabotaged" his own career.

"'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fucking thorn in my side
Oh my God, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's a sabotage"

I am guessing those of you who are defending Adame, are doing so without knowing the extent of his misbehavior. 

When you're a public figure like a news anchor, you can't just behave like this.  This goes way beyond the "sex positive" moniker he tries to sell as an excuse.

The fellow self destructed.

Sad ...but he ain't getting that job back

So we (old white men primarily) get to be the morality police? No thanks!  
He’s not being prosecuted or sued, he hasnt done anyone any harm that I can point to. We keep saying “it’s a free country” - maybe we should start meaning it.

Old white men invented morality. True.

So we are generally in tune with the expectations.

Call me when the country is taken over by young non-whites.

Until then ...these are the rules that we all need to follow

If he wants a job at NY1….then yes. 

Otherwise, feel free to get fucked on camera with anything you want written anywhere on your body. Nobody gives a shit. And by the same token NY1 is free not to employ him. It’s a free country!

I have to disagree. That is the same logic that allows gay people to be fired, just because they are gay and choose to     go to gay bars.
 

Being gay and going to a gay bar does not impact my ability to underwrite a loan at the bank where I work. 
 

Being gay and kinky at home does not impact his ability to provide a weather forecast. 
 

It’s not like he is asking his employer (NY1) to make any special allowances to support his kinky behavior.  Unlike a recent applicant who HR allowed to bring his emotional support animal (a potbelly pig) to the office. The mess was incredible and the customer complaints (and impact) were very real.

I guess I should remind you that Iran went from bikinis to burkas in less than 50 years.  Very “in tune” with expectations.  We all know “the rules” only apply to some. 
 

Just a few short years ago “the rules” prohibited marriages across racial lines. How “in tune” was that…

I'm not denying that social changes come and maybe some day the Christian ethics of "old white men" will be in the dust-bin of history.

RIGHT NOW that's not the case....and Adame crossed the line not by a little but by a lot. So he got canned.

As a " sex positive" old white man myself , I am not surprised and I am generally unsympathetic to his whining about this being "unfair".

While I respect and applaud your stand for individual rights, I don't see an apples-to-apples representation in your example.

Images of individuals having drinks/dancing at a gay bar would not have the same impact upon an employer as images of intense carnal behavior within social media.

The images in the weatherman's case very likely negatively impacted the public's image of his employer's workplace environment, and I imagine caused considerable embarrassment for his former co-workers.

A tragic loss for all concerned that could have been avoided with the forethought of reasonable discretion.

I do see you point. Assuming only drinking and dancing takes place at the gay bar (or any bar for that matter). Join me in the back rooms, that’s where the real action is at! 😋  No cameras please!! 😆

I suspect most muggles prefer to ignore back room activities - ignorance is bliss! 🙂

While I never want to see someone fired because they are gay, the reality is this man most likely signed a contract that addresses this type of behavior and ongoing employment.   While I wish him well (who among has not screwed up?), he is not going to get his job back nor is he likely to prevail in court against his employer.

In this New York Times article Adame insinuates his situation is a matter of being "prudish" but when confronted with the key to his firing he "doesn't want to discuss".

If you want to do a real mea-culpa you need to man up and admit you made a mistake.

Not call your employer prudish because they don't like you getting gang fucked with your employers name written across your naked body while you snort meth ...and WILLINGLY posting all that ONLINE !!

This little dude has some mental problems.

Amy Cooper was fired by Franklin Templeton for her viral moment on Twitter where she called 911 on a black man bird watching in Central Park. Just this week she lost her case against the firm. 

Adame doesn’t stand a chance of getting his job back.

The problem isnt that he had fun on webcam as a public figure. It is that we, Americans, confuse prudish close mindedness with moral values. It’s none of our business what he gets up to behind closed doors. He isnt hurting anyone! He isnt flashing his nuts to school girls in a public park!  Who are we to frown upon his fun and desire?  We have a dysfunctional relationship with sexual activity. 
 

Over in Europe it would have been a non-event. They are far more mature about these things. 
 

The problem isnt him…it is us. 🤓

I get what you are saying, but putting oneself on a webcam is not doing something behind closed doors.  Once a camera or audiotape is involved, those doors are flung wide open.

I think this goes way beyond his orientation.  The fact that he is gay, bisexual, straight, pansexual, or whatever, is not the issue.  He was fired because of extremely poor judgement.  The fact that he wanted to have sex with his employer is not the offence here - the offence was recording this desire in a very salacious manner and without any forethought that it could become publicly available.  While it has no effect on whether he can physically still report the weather, his public image as a representative of that company has been destroyed - not because he is gay, but because he publicly dragged his employer into his sexual fantasies, which should have been kept completely private.

This. He did something for which his boss arguably has a cause of action against him. It's more than just him being naked on camera. It's involving other people.

NY has inclusive antidiscrimination laws which would protect him from being fired for being gay. 

Also, most employment is "at will” meaning the employer can fire the employee without any reason at all.  The limits on such terminations are that it not be discriminitory and that it doesn't violate an employment contract. 

[JoeWinkoReturns]

there's actually another petition that was started for him to get his job back right here: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/stand-with-erick-adame

^sign that one instead. it has more signatures.

I also talked about this in one of my most recent youtube videos. It's VERY unfair that he was fired. he deserves his job back.
