Sources: Reporter Sacked after Posting Video in Bed

Yesterday, FTVLive told you about a video that was posted by WFXT (Boston) Reporter Christine O'Donnell.

O'Donnell was laying in bed and just waking up. 

The video was O'Donnell in bed talking about how she got up too early for work. 

FTVLive wrote, "I know this is what the kids are doing now-a-days, but I can't remember a time when Walter Cronkite shot video of him laying around bed in his underwear and talking to his phone camera."

Well after the FTVLive story, the video went viral, before O'Donnell pulled it from her YouTube channel. 

Now, we hear reports that O'Donnell is no longer with the station. Her bio has gone missing from the station's website. 

We tried calling the Cox station this morning and no one would answer the question as to whether O'Donnell was fired or not? We were transferred to the community affairs director's phone, where surprisingly she wasn't in the office at 6:55AM. 

Word is that a memo went out yesterday to the Fox Boston staff, warning them about what they put online. 

O'Donnell had just joined the station this month and now it appears she is gone. 

Of course no one is talking, because....you know....the communications business. 

Here's the video if you haven't seen it:
