Television reporter Charlo Greene left her job as a newswoman in Anchorage, Alaska, in spectacular fashion at the weekend.

She said, ““Everything you've heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska."

Then she added the bombshell, " And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, fuck it, I quit."

Greene then shrugged and walked off camera without another word. The camera shot back to stunned anchorwoman, Alexis Fernandez, who quickly offered an apology.

Greene's KTVA author page was completely erased just minutes after the incident, the Alaska Commons reported.

KTVA also posted a separate apology on their website:

Dear Viewers,

We sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter during her live presentation on the air tonight. The employee has been terminated.

Greene’s affiliation to the Cannabis Club was unknown to KTVA, by Greene’s own admission.
