snarked<\/a>, although she said she didn\u2019t \u201cdisagree\u201d with the company\u2019s decision to let her go.<\/p>\nBrittany Begley, 44, a now former KPRC meteorologist. Instagram\/brittanycbegleY<\/p>\n
Begley was fired after her social media diatribe blasting KPRC and insulting her colleagues. Instagram \/ @brittanycbegley<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019I\u2019m proving to you that I operate with integrity through my actions and the emails showing how hard I worked to bring positive impact to KPRC,\u201d she said, adding that \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it if I couldn\u2019t prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Begley is aspiring for a \u201cbigger role in TV where I can advocate for people like me who started from the ground up,\u201d she said in her post.<\/p>\n
She went off the rails earlier this month in a lengthy Instagram diatribe in which she complained that despite years of hard work, she had never received one of TV journalism\u2019s highest honors.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever won an Emmy because the markets I worked in never thought traffic reporting was worthy of one,\u201d Begley wrote.<\/p>\n

She also slammed the work-life balance during her time at the network, and said she was \u201ctired of coming home to an empty refrigerator.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coworkers would allegedly come into work \u201conly to turn on the TV and watch a team normalize bad behavior: consistently late, not even mic\u2019d up ten minutes before a show, then put it on air as a segment,\u201d she moaned.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I know I\u2019m not alone. A lot of people inside and outside this industry feel exactly like I do.\u201d<\/p>\n
After her post went viral, Begley insisted that she didn\u2019t mean to insult her colleagues \u2014 and only wanted to spread awareness about mental health.<\/p>\n
