Steve Rothaus is reporting WPLG has fired Charles Perez.
Earlier this year, the former weeknight anchor was demoted to the weekends, and in the past few weeks, he’s pretty much disappeared from Local 10 completely.
Perez filed a complaint with Miami-Dade’s Equality Opportunity Board claiming his demotion was spurred by his sexuality and a nasty legal case with an ex-boyfriend that involves accusations that Perez had gender-identity issues.
Perez promises to amend the discrimination complaint to include the termination.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
