A Houston meteorologist said she was fired from KRPC-TV last week after a viral Instagram post in which she criticized the station, complained that traffic reporting had been overlooked for Emmy Awards<\/a> and accused the newsroom of tolerating poor workplace standards.<\/p>\n

“No longer with KPRC \u2014 and for that, I\u2019m truly grateful. Maybe you\u2019ve read the headlines?” Brittany Begley said, according<\/a> to Chron.<\/p>\n

Brittany Begley, 44, confirmed her departure from the NBC affiliate in a Wednesday Instagram post after her earlier comments drew national attention. She told the Houston Chronicle that she was fired and said she did not agree with how weekend scheduling had been handled.<\/p>\n

“I do disagree with how the weekends were handled after several attempts to make it better for all,” she said.<\/p>\n

Begley\u2019s departure came less than three weeks after a June 7 Instagram post<\/a> in which she said she felt worn down by the industry and frustrated by what she viewed as a lack of recognition for her work.<\/p>\n

“Sorry, but I\u2019m tired of coming home to an empty refrigerator,” she said.<\/p>\n

In the post, Begley said traffic reporters were often overlooked<\/a> despite covering wrecks, road closures and other information tied to public safety.<\/p>\n

“Never won an Emmy because the markets I worked in never thought traffic reporting was worthy of one,” Begley said.<\/p>\n

She said the experience left her questioning whether the industry valued her work, while arguing that she still believed she had taken a stand.<\/p>\n

“After the pandemic, I told myself that when I die, at least I\u2019ll know I stood for something… even if the industry never technically thought I was worthy,” Begley said.<\/p>\n

Begley also criticized KPRC’s newsroom culture<\/a>, accusing some coworkers of being late and unprepared before broadcasts while management allegedly allowed that behavior to reach the air.<\/p>\n

“Consistently late, not even mic\u2019d up ten minutes before a show, then put it on air as a segment,” she said.<\/p>\n

After the post spread online, Begley said she was not trying to insult colleagues but wanted to raise broader concerns about accountability, workplace culture and mental health in television news, Chron reported.<\/p>\n

“I believe in accountability. This conversation won\u2019t be going away anytime soon,” Begley said.<\/p>\n

KPRC News Director Ana Lastra confirmed Begley’s exit to the Houston Chronicle and wished her well, but said the station would not discuss the circumstances of her departure further.<\/p>\n

“As a matter of policy, we do not comment on personnel matters,” Lastra said.<\/p>\n

Sean McLaughlin, KPRC vice president and general manager, previously told the New York Post that the station was aware of Begley\u2019s post and treated employee concerns seriously.<\/p>\n

“Our station takes issues raised by employees seriously and is committed to fostering a positive workplace. As this matter involves an individual employee, we have no further comment,” McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n

Begley said in her follow-up post that she planned to continue speaking publicly about the media business and wanted a larger platform to advocate for people who built careers from entry-level roles, according to Chron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t say it if I couldn\u2019t prove it,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
