At least when Bill Bonds did it, he somehow turned it into a comedy bit with everyone laughing about the situation....

Who is this female colleague she is arguing with? No one names her.

She didn't seem too crazy to me. Frustrated, upset, sure.

Unreal that they didn't settle before all the dirty laundry started getting out.

Both sides come off as big losers.

Did the company release this video in hopes that either
1.Taryn would drop her lawsuit
2. Make her look bad in the public eye
3.Try to make it look as if the company had reason to let her go
4. The folks in MCR (or whoever records these videos) wanted to make her look bad

They didn't make her look bad. She looked bad. Like a petty little bitch that you wouldn't want to work around, especially other women trying to get work done.

I think -and I've said this here before- that the banter among coworkers at FOX2 seems quite a bit better and more natural than the other local stations. Seems they like each other for the most part, and hang around outside of work. Taryn never seemed like she fit in though. She was decent as an anchor opposite Roop, but strictly professional, which is OK. She'd have failed miserably on "The Nine" or "Live in the D", but those aren't her type of shows and that's OK too.

But the fact is she can't seem to be personable with her coworkers and the clip that was shown was probably just one small example of what was going on behind the scenes. You don't have to be Ms Sunshine al the time, but if you make the work downright unpleasant for the rest of the people, you shouldn't be there.

I frankly saw nothing wrong with Taryn's reaction until the very last part. By then, the confrontational co-worker had already left the studio.

If you listen closely, the woman who is speaking off camera was nagging at Taryn about something that seemed minor.

I'm not exactly sure how Fox 2's intentional leak of this video is an effective defense of the allegations in Ms. Asher's lawsuit.
