Motown Anchors Cleared of Sexual Harassment Allegations
/
It appears that WXYZ has cleared their Anchor Malcom Maddox of any wrong doing and will bring him back in the air.
Earlier this month, FTVLive told you that the station had placed Maddox on administrative leave while the station investigated a claim of sexual harassment against him.
Well, it appears that WXYZ owner Scripps has found that claim to be bogus and Maddox is coming back to the air today.
Sources tell FTVLive that Scripps will be releasing this statement later Today:
"The E.W. Scripps Company, parent company of WXYZ/WMYD, has completed an investigation into allegations made last week against two anchors, Malcom Maddox and Stephen Clark, and station General Manager Mike Murri. The investigation found no basis for addition action against Maddox. In 2015, the company determined that Maddox had engaged in inappropriate communications with coworkers that did not conform to company policy. At that time, Maddox received corrective action, including a two-week unpaid suspension, consistent with company procedures. In addition, the investigation last week found no evidence that Clark acted inappropriately or that Murri covered up wrongdoing. Scripps takes these kinds of allegations very seriously and believes everyone should be able to work in an environment where they are treated with respect and dignity. Because of these findings, Malcom Maddox is returning to anchor the morning news today."
