Metropolitan 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Post-Newsweek's WPLG-10-ABC in Miami (Market #16) has fired former primary news anchor Charles Perez, just days after he filed a gay discrimination complaint against the station. "WPLG is disappointed that the actions of Charles Perez left us no real choice other than to terminate his employment contract," said VP-GM Dave Boylan. "WPLG emphatically denies Perez's claim of discrimination. The document he is circulating is filled with misstatements and untruths." Perez's attorney confirmed the firing. "We filed a charge of discrimination last week," said Melanie Damian. "We will now amend that to include his termination as part of his claims." Perez told TMZ he plans to file a "7 or 8 figure lawsuit" against the station and its parent company, the Washington Post.
