Samantha Armytage, former co-anchor of Channel Seven's Sunrise, recently faced backlash after sending a 'stern email' to a producer, Alexandria Funnell, which left her feeling 'mortified'. The incident occurred when Armytage became upset that a segment featuring kindergarten kids was not shared online immediately, despite Funnell's plan to post it during peak viewing hours. In the email, Armytage expressed her disappointment and CC'd Funnell's superiors, prompting Alexandria to feel humiliated. She later revealed on her podcast, That's Showbiz Baby!, her desire for Armytage's approval and how the exchange affected her. Following the incident, Armytage reportedly apologized after learning about the scheduling intentions behind the post. This revelation comes as Armytage prepares to leave Channel Seven after 21 years with the network.
