OKC Anchor Resigns After Sexting Scandal

KFOR Anchor/Reporter Lance West resigned after a Twitter account started posting texts that West supposedly sent to a woman. 

The Twitter account (now gone) named "JustaGirl35” tagged @KFOR with several screenshots showing salacious private messages that they claim West exchanged with a woman via social media.

According to the account, one of the texts including a station issued headshot that West reportedly sent with the words, "I am Hard."

I f he only would have included the word "news" at the end. Just saying. 

Not long after the sexts were posted, West was fired.....errrrrr resigned from the station. 

The Lost Ogle reached out to West for comment;

“I take full responsibility for a terrible lapse in judgment. I consensually exchanged inappropriate messages with one woman. This did not involve any colleague at KFOR. 

Managers at News 4 have been extremely kind and supportive throughout this entire ordeal. It was my decision to resign in hopes of avoiding any additional glare on the station in which I invested a wonderful 23 years. 

I love Oklahoma City. I apologize and ask for forgiveness from a community I’ve deeply disappointed. I would also appreciate everyone’s prayers and privacy as I focus on family and mending the broken trust I have created.”

Of course this was an embarrassing moment for West, but should he really been asked to resign? If two of age consenting adults exchange sexy texts, is that really a reason for the person to lose their job? 

If that is the case, then a lot of people working in TV news should be out of work. 

Just saying...
