Hollie Strano, a meteorologist with WKYC in Ohio, was terminated from her position after publicly discussing her sobriety journey following a DUI arrest last Thanksgiving. Strano, who had been with WKYC for over 22 years, crashed her SUV while driving under the influence, resulting in a blood alcohol level of 0.244%, significantly above the legal limit. Following her guilty plea for operating a vehicle impaired, she expressed her belief that her firing demonstrates the stigma surrounding addiction. Strano maintained that she would continue to share her recovery journey and prioritize her health. Supporters have rallied behind her, suggesting potential new career paths in social media or rival networks. The station has yet to comment on her termination.
