‘F--- it, I quit’: Alaska reporter comes out as head of medical pot business, quits TV job during live broadcast
WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE: KTVA Anchorage reporter Charlo Greene quit on live TV Sunday after doing a story about a local medical marijuana business, which she was secretly the head of.

An Alaska TV reporter dropped a bomb on her bosses Sunday night when she admitted to secretly running a medical marijuana biz and announced she was resigning to run it full time, saying "as for this job ... f--- it, I quit."

KTVA Anchorage reporter Charlo Greene did a story on the Alaska Cannabis Club on Sunday night's broadcast, but didn't reveal her connection to it until the end, during a live in-studio shot.

"Now everything you've heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska," Greene said.

"And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f--- it, I quit."

Greene then strolled off camera.

The broadcast quickly cut to weekend anchor Alexis Fernandez, who looked stunned and fumbled for an apology before saying, "We'll be right back."

In a statement, KTVA brass apologized to its viewers for Greene's language.

"The employee has been terminated," news chief Bert Rudman said.

Greene later told Alaska Dispatch News her bosses didn't know she was the president of the ganja dispensary and had no clue about her plans to step down.

"I wanted to draw attention to this issue. And the issue is medical marijuana," Greene told the news service.
