A Florida news anchor stormed off
mid-way through a live broadcast in protest over the coverage of Kylie
Jenner's 18th birthday celebration.
News Anchor John Brown said 'I'm having
a good Friday, so I refuse to talk about the Kardashians!' before
walking out on air, leaving his co-host Amy Kaufeldt by herself on the
couch of the Good Day Orlando show on Fox. Amy was left to carry on the
rest of the show.
The
surprise storm-out came after the news anchors invited Rumba 1003 radio
host and broadcast guest Jenny Castillo to discuss the Kardashians
news.
She
attempted to calm down the furious anchor, asking him 'How would you
like it if your daughter named her pet John? That's exactly what Kylie
Jenner did.'
But Brown retorted: 'I don't care about this family. I'm sick of this family. It's a nonstory!'
'Nobody cares about this family anymore!
"You are on your own, Amy. I can't do it, I've had enough Kardashians! I can't take any more Kardashian stories on this show!'
A replacement anchor was quickly found to join Ms Kaufeldt as the Good Day Orlando team attempted to calm down a fuming Brown.
The
news anchor later posted a video of the incident on Facebook - along
with an apology - although he admitted he felt better for having done
it.
He said: 'Sorry, I lost my mind a bit, although it was partially in jest! I did feel better though after I was done.'
The footage has since gone viral with many backing the news anchor's decision to walk out over the 'nonstory.'
