WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Buzz says NBC10 anchor Vince DeMentri, off the air since early July during a station probe of an incident involving the car and hair-care products of NBC10 anchor Lori Delgado, won't be back. DeMentri's attorney Paul Rosen of Spector Gadon & Rosen, who said he was talking to NBC lawyers, said the station knew there were no criminal charges pending or threatened. "The original publicity on nonexistent charges was an unfortunate mistake as the follow-up reports by the police indicated," he said, adding that "Delgado made it clear that DeMentri had no involvement in either the keying of the car or the disappearance and return of her hair dryer and curling iron. The absurdity of these incidents, and the lack of Vince's involvement, causes one to wonder why [NBC10] would be taking any action to place Vince's existing contract and position in jeopardy." If they let Vince go, it'll be a big mistake and the way his lawyer's talking, I smell a law suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbhcity 3 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Geez, Philly has some crazy people...Alycia, Larry, and now Vince...and I've heard stories about Jim Gardner being a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1046 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Geez, Philly has some crazy people...Alycia, Larry, and now Vince... Except even Lori admitted Vince has done nothing wrong, if you believe that article (and, in turn, Vince's attorney.) And even if you don't, the police who investigated the matter have said similar things. I could sorta understand if he were charged with something, but if he's gone, he's in the right to sue. On the surface this sounds like an anchor ego scuffle which the police thankfully were wiser about. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 27 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If they let Vince go, it'll be a big mistake and the way his lawyer's talking, I smell a law suit. I agree. I don't know even why they're doing this since everyone came out and siad he didn't really do anything. My underlying feeling is that they're trying to free up some cap room to sign Dave Huddleston. That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtmclaug 43 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If everyone is saying that he didn't do anything wrong, then why not just put him back on? It doesn't make any sense to me. (sigh) If Vince is let go, let it be on his own accord. I know he's going through a divorce, so give him his space. If NBC 10 does make a move for Dave Huddleston, I hope he gets it. I miss him on television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmi_18 33 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I agree. I don't know even why they're doing this since everyone came out and siad he didn't really do anything. My underlying feeling is that they're trying to free up some cap room to sign Dave Huddleston. That's my guess. I'd love to see Dave Huddleston on NBC 10, but I don't think he would want to be the # 2 guy behind Tim Lake. I mean Tim Lake is a good anchor, but I'd prefer Huddleston over him. Plus, he was the main anchor along with Stensland on FOX 29... Now back to the Vince DeMentri story... even if these allegations that he vandelized Lori Delgado's car was true and he was charged, might not be wise for NBC 10 to let him go. I think at this point, the details are really blurry. I mean first of all, are we even sure that this is true? I read somewhere that Delgado said that he didn't do anything wrong. But then again, we are talking about the same NBC 10 management that let Mendte go from NBC 10 five years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmi_18 33 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I was just reading Laura Nachman's column and she found DeMentri's resume in Medialine. In there it said that he was employed in WCAU from August 2003 to August 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmclaug 43 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I liked Vince's work as an investigative reporter. I also liked him as an anchor. Oh, well. All good things must come to an end, don't they? I think NBC 10 made a mistake in letting him go. Hopefully, if he sues, he'll get his job back.

FJ2000 2 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The other day, Newsblues had an exclusive report on the situation. He, in fact, DID vandalize Lori Delgado's car. Remember about a year ago when there was a rumor that a co-anchor team had been having a relationship, but we were unable to figure out who it was. Well, Lori Delgado and Vince Dementri fit right into that. After he broke it off, she was reassigned from being his co-anchor on MyPhl 17 News at 10 to morning news co-anchor. He keyed her car to get back at her for a relationship she was having with a station photographer. Management confronted him a surveilence tape that caught him in the act. The reason this all has been kept quiet is because Lori Delgado declined to press charges out of fear that details of their affair would emerge. In retrospective, the report from Newsblues makes perfect sense. Vince Dementri was suspended after that meeting with management, and now it seems he's been officially let go. Of course, Larry Mendte and Alycia Lane sorta beat this story to punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You make like Newsblues out to be credible. Besides the police investigation cleared DeMentri of the vandalism and theft. That was in the newspapers. That's a whole lot different from Delgado dropping the charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsguy32 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 if you think the cheating is true ( delgado and dimentri), and the whole mendte affair of impropriety, it says a lot about the state of marriage in just a small sampling of people, all of whom probably enjoy a comfortable life and decent looks. Money and fame ( sorta) doesn't buy happiness apparenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
