The award-winning Canadian journalist has not publicly commented on the fallout from her departure. LaFlamme’s last public social media post on Aug. 15, in which she announced she was “shocked and saddened” to learn of her termination, only fanned a flame that has now turned into a global conflagration. Between coverage by major U.S. news outlets like CNN and the New York Times, backlash from Canadian celebrities, and exposure generated by campaigns from brands like Wendy’s, Dove, and Sports Illustrated, LaFlamme’s story is becoming stronger as the weeks go by. on. Enter Katie Couric, one of the most respected journalists in America, whose career and reputation can be compared in many ways to LaFlamme’s. “Hey… have you read about @lisalaflammectv being unceremoniously dumped by @CTV because… well… maybe she let her hair go gray or she was making too much $$$ or the people in charge are idiots,” Couric wrote in a post on Instagram on Wednesday, sharing a photo of LaFlamme holding a recent Canadian Screen Award. “Yes, because of the change in advertising models, profits from mainstream media are significantly reduced. But the way it was handled was really disappointing,” the former TODAY show host continued. “As reported in the @nytimes “Many reporters and TV viewers noted that two longtime male anchors before Ms. LaFlamme, one at CTV and one at another major broadcaster were allowed to retire at 69 and 77, and both were able to say goodbye airborne. .’” Couric reposted LaFlamme’s farewell message that she videotaped and shared herself on her IG Stories in solidarity, raising more awareness of the fiasco and inspiring even more outrage. LaFlamme makes it clear in the clip that, at 58, she believed she would still be working for quite some time and that she didn’t leave CTV by choice. The video of her departure and Bell’s handling of the whole situation has sparked accusations of sexism, ageism and corporate bullying at CTV, with at least one top executive (Vice President of News Michael Melling, now on leave) questioning who had “approved the decision to let Lisa’s hair turn gray’. “Needless to say, this has created a major PR disaster for the people in charge at @CTV,” Couric noted in her Instagram post. “We need to see women age in every arena. Basically, that sucks.” It seems almost everyone in Canada (and, increasingly, abroad) would agree.
