By now just about everyone knows the tale of Julie Tremmel. She is the NBC10 reporter who was fired after doing a handstand during a Friday night live-shot during a story about Americas Got Talent. She originally gained international fame for doing a theatrical performance of how to avoid being attacked by a bear.
Tremmel who was fired just days after the handstand story announced on Tuesday that she had reached a settlement with the station and could now look for other jobs. Tremmel like all on air WJAR employees was represented by the IBEW union. No details of her settlement were released and WJAR did not make any comments to the Providence Journal.
While Tremmel worked in Providence for a year and a half, she spent several years working in Albany N.Y at WXXA-TV-FOX 23 (now defunct) and WWLP-TV-22 in Springfield Mass. Following her firing she appeared on the John DePetro show on WPRO-AM to discuss the incident. Listen to the full interview here.
