Netflix's Hubie Halloween Costs News Anchor Her Job

@Tidus1012:

gamespot forgot the memo that there gameing site?! or that they can be bother to game articles anymore? I think we lucky this is even WRITEN up as acticle seeing they like to do every thing as video these, any "article" or what you want to call this stuff now this is Video I instantly leave page

As for the article... is there some clause that she can be in any movies or something stupid like that? kind stupid but what ever we live in stupid world with stupid people

@chriss_m: such a dumb article, its just click bait. Worked on me smh. She knew she couldn't legally do a cameo without clearance but was so starstruck she took the calculated risk. She even admits in her tweet she was hoping this wasn't the outcome but understands why they fired her. This isn't news or anything to get upset or feel bad about. The title should read "employee who violates contract gets fired". Gamespot must not have much to write about or just don't care how shady they come across to the readers, as long as they get the click

@uninspiredcup: if you've followed Sandler a lot of his movies play across the emotional spectrum. The guy has range which is rare

@tlpina: In what country? If the US, that is extraordinarily uncommon, but i also don't know what industry you are in.

if she was a man, she wouldnt have got the job to begin with. There is probably more sexism towards men than women. But hey, keep on playing the victim card despite being wrong.

@cwyn: if it was a man we probably wouldn't have an article about it at all.

@cwyn: I think Don Quijote was fighting windmills, not giants. You shouldn't fight imaginary giants either.

@jinn366: Not really. I'm guessing you're not American. The single most important thing in the American legal system is precedent. If they have it in the contract that they can't do cameos, they have to fire her. If they don't, any future firing that's even remotely related means they'll be dealing with a lawsuit.

They have to enforce the contract or it makes all their contracts meaningless.

@jinn366: yep they wanted her gone. I see the Tweets now.

@Barighm: To be fair, they give him more spotlight than anyone else. Adam Sandler and his movies suck ass; Netflix is a good place for him because he can't make money on theatres since 1999 and people don't have to pay extra to watch his crap (and most of them do it out of pure guilty pleasure).

You like him, ok, to each his own.

@JusticeSword: Umm what now? Capitalism has nothing to do with desiring that people work multiple jobs. In fact, there are plenty of people in Communist countries like China end up working multiple jobs as well, but they have to do it in Sweat shops making Nikes instead of air conditioned news rooms...

Capitalism is not simply about earning Capital, it's about enriching yourself and your community in the pursuit of a better life and a better world. Think of it this way, you can't get blood from a stone, so even if you think that all the business people of the world are evil self interested bigots, you have to recognize that their self interest actually requires that the average person be doing better off tomorrow than they are today. Otherwise how could those evil capitalist corporations increase their capital gains year over year? If no additional wealth is being generated and it's a zero sum game, then the companies end up fighting each other incessantly and will eventually destroy each other and eventually themselves.

That's the beauty of the system because it is designed around the acknowledgement that there are going to be bad actors and it mitigates those problems as a function of the system itself, rather than by mandate from a governmental body, which is just as easily corruptable as any business is, so it never actually mitigates the problem, (see Venezuela).

@lionheartssj1: That was the Fortnite EULA. It was free for a reason dude. I'm sorry.

@amaneuvering:

It's not like she's delivering pizza--as an on-air television news anchor for a major network affiliate in a major US market, I'm guessing things get tricky when it comes to making appearances in other visual entertainment mediums. Lesson to millennials: read your contract.
