Melissa Doyle hits back at ‘fictional stories’

Melissa Doyle has hit back at media reports about her departure from Seven’s Sunrise, labelling suggestions that she was forced to leave the show and take a pay cut of around $150,000 a year are just “fictional stories”.
In a column in The Daily Telegraph columnist Annette Sharp said Doyle was given a “non-negotiable offer” and that her departure would be announced as a promotion in the news department despite a $150,000 paycut.
While Seven’s plans for Doyle have not yet been confirmed Sharp reported that Seven bosses want her to front the 4.30pm Seven Afternoon News bulletin and potentially join Matt White on the evening news bulletin on digital channel 7Two.
I found the story in the Daily Telegraph yesterday disgraceful. Was it in the public’s interest to read that? Onwards and upwards for Melissa Doyle.
well of course she would say that. How can she criticise her employer who still pays her $600 odd K? Nobody leaves a job like Sunrise unless they want more reasonable working hours.
yaaaaawn!
Really what do they expect her to say? Oh yes I’ve been boned and my employer has been really nasty to me? The truth of it is that she’s had a very good run at 14 years and the time has now come to let someone else have a go – there’s nothing wrong with that this is TV and things need to change to keep viewers interested. End of story -leave her alone! This is a total non-story!
