Anchor is M-I-A in LA
Back in December, FTVLive told you that KTLA Anchor/Reporter Courtney Friel had a new book coming out titled, “Kicking Booze and Breaking News.”
In the book, which she opens up about her battle with the bottle and other hard truths, Friel makes the claim that President Trump once phoned her and called her “the hottest one at Fox News” and then said: “You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss.”
After that excerpt came out, Friel has suddenly gone missing from the anchor desk at KTLA.
Many are speculating that since she called out Trump for being Trump, she is being benched at the Nexstar station.
But, sources tell FTVLive that Nexstar bosses are looking at other things that might be more serious issues.
Mainly, the Friel has interviewed book publisher Anna David on the air to pimp her business.
David has posted clips to her social media, including a public thank you to Friel.
David is the boss of Launch Pad publishing and Friel’s new book is published by….you guessed it…. Launch pad publishing.
Friel has also posted on her social media about David and her company.
Sources say tell FTVLive that this is what Nexstar is looking into. While dishing about the pervert in chief makes for a good story, word is that is not what has the Nexstar suits seeing red.
Stay tuned….
