Fired Handstand Reporter Settles with Providence Station

Julie Tremmel, the Reporter that embarrassed  WJAR with her antics time and time again until she was finally fired, has reached a settlement with the station. 

Tremmel was finally sacked back in February after doing handstands for a report on “America’s Got Talent” coming to Rhode Island. 

The former Reporter reached an out-of-court settlement in a suit challenging her dismissal.

The Providence Journal says that WJAR Vice President and General Manager Vic Vetters could not be reached for comment, but Tremmel posted an image of a letter on her Facebook page showing WJAR stationery with what appeared to be the GM's signature and saying that  that said Ms. Tremmel is free to seek employment without restriction.

“The station wishes Ms. Tremel the best of luck going forward,” it concluded.

Tremmel’s post did not disclose any terms of the settlement, which she called “a positive resolution to the unexpected nightmare.”

Tremmel's other gems, were a  report on possible bear attacks, where she acted as if one were near, and threw her shoe at the camera, became an Internet sensation.
