Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Maybe some the ABC devotees here can tell us WTF her problem is.

anchorman 94 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Wow...truly shocking. One of the up and coming stars of the market probably just threw her career away.

Colortini 76 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Wow, what a shock. Well at least Jeff will now get the evening slot-always thought he did a better job. But yeah, she's done. What a waste of a career! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6985-heidi-jones-wtf/#findComment-63286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 She probably still has a career. Not here, but somewhere. If Steve Bartelstein didn't flush his career down the drain, then there is a chance for Heidi. Here's Steve's new bio, with a little scarey info at the end. He's one strange dudette. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/personality/steve-bartelstein/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6985-heidi-jones-wtf/#findComment-63287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she did was criminal. Maybe she'll head back to Houston or something, but WABC doesn't tolerate this crap.

Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm sure he used some police resources with his stalking and drug stories out there about him.

anchorman 94 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm sure he used some police resources with his stalking and drug stories out there about him. And no formal charges were ever filed in criminal court. Bartlestein was stupid for his actions. But they're just rumors. He was fired for his laziness.

But they're just rumors. He was fired for his laziness. ABC dumped him because he was too much of risk with the drugs, stalking boys and when he got the monicker, "The Night Crawler", he was done. Why was he in South Carolina on a sabatical with boys for a year. A very creepy guy.

Why was he in South Carolina on a sabatical with boys for a year. A very creepy guy. Was/is Steve weird? Yes. Lazy? Yes. Creepy? Yes. Was he ever found guilty of criminal activity? No. Heidi will be. And it's unfortunate that she will lose here job--because she is getting canned. However, she engaged in criminal activity is very wrong.

stevieboy247 42 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I think Heidi not only ruined her career, but she just put herself at an all-time low. Seriously, why would you lie to the cops about being raped? Talk about pure stupidity.

But there is no doubt that after the "investigation" she will be let go. She will plead not guilty to the charges.

Jess 1115 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 She is done. Not just in NYC but everywhere for that boneheaded move. Alycia Lane allegedly assaulted a police officer and brought unsavory attention to the station. Larry Mendte essentially spied on her and committed a criminal act. Both were fired. Both have resurfaced elsewhere. Nobody in any public profession such as this is ever "done". She'll resurface somewhere.

nynewsguy 66 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 According to a WABC source who told Pablo Guzman of WCBS-TV, Heidi's picture was taken down in the hallway near the TV13 studio. Yes, it is indeed removed.. Unfortunately, Heidi's days at ABC are over. A great person, who had a very poor lapse of judgement. I wish her all the best. She'll be alright - at some point - elsewhere. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6985-heidi-jones-wtf/#findComment-63317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Mendte essentially spied on her and committed a criminal act. Both were fired. Both have resurfaced elsewhere. Nobody in any public profession such as this is ever "done". She'll resurface somewhere. On Lane, She was just a yelling drunk for the most part. Of course she was going to bounce back from that and end up on anchor desk again. I remember there was a stretch of 4 or 5 news reporters getting DUI back to back a couple of years ago. Mendte, he just doing opinion pieces on Tribune station but you will never see him behind a anchor desk on permanent basis because his creditability as a anchor is shot. he can only give opinion pieces. As a Anchor he's done. Heidi just did a big NO-NO. You don't lie to the Authorities, especially with a major crime like rape. She has lost a hell of a lot of creditability. She will always have that black cloud of "Ok, she lied about rape so what can she be trusted with now?" Unfortunately, that answer is you can't trust nothing from her. Which is the crux of the situation of if she gets hired again. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6985-heidi-jones-wtf/#findComment-63318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Was/is Steve weird? Yes. Lazy? Yes. Creepy? Yes. I know this is a little off topic but since he was brought up here, I figured this would be the perfect spot to introduce the 2010 Steve Bartelstein Christmas photo.. lol (taken from the video: http://video.chicago.cbslocal.com/global/video/flash/popupplayer.asp?vt1=v&clipFormat=flv&clipId1=5384258&at1=News&h1=UglySweatersSellingByTheThousands&flvUri=&partnerclipid=&rnd=65364158 at around 1:50) Knowing people that know/work with Steve, he's just a big kid at heart that likes to do extra little things to make other people happy. He could be a little weird sometimes, but from what I've gotten, he's definitely not lazy or creepy. The Steve here in Chicago doesn't even seem like the same Steve that was in New York.

Which is the crux of the situation of if she gets hired again. Heard about the story on TODAY this morning, and was also wondering what she could have been thinking with that stunt. And yeah, for lying about something as serious as rape, I would seriously question the sanity of any GM that tries to hire her after this.
