News Anchor Lisa Laflamme Says She Was Fired Over Gray Hair

The Composer Himself: If it’s true that she was fired because of her hair color, then that’s just really sad. She’s not even that old, she still looks really beautiful and she’s definitely someone with a great experience in news reporting considering she had been doing that for so long.

Monaco Benedict: Turns out the CEO who fired her has only been there for 6 months! Apparently he's got a bad reputation, and is known for wrongful terminations

zammmerjammer: Even if Bell wants to pretend they didn't fire her for being "old" and going grey, they still haven't explained why they fired her so suddenly and horribly. She had been working there for decades but she only found out she was fired the same time everyone else did -- WTF kind of way is that to treat the FACE of your highly-rated nightly news show?

S.M.: Tbh, she still slays with grey hair

Phangtom: Reminder that no matter how much you devote your life to a company, they do not care and will get rid of you the instant they think they've milked you for all you're worth.

Lynette lsm77224: This is appalling, this is Canada…it’s her basic human rights. She’s beautiful. I used to watch the news only when she’s reporting. She’s a seasoned reporter, knows her job…will never watch ctv again and I urge everyone to boycott bell media. I hope she have a darn good lawyer.

NaTasha1980ツ: She's beautiful with the gray hairs, whoever fired her for this is a damn fool!

Thunder Wolf: That’s messed up! She looks amazing with gray hair!! Shame on that network

Sally Gomez: Hope she gets an attorney to fight what happened. If a jury decides she was fired for her gray hair, I hope she gets millions.

Lastly More: She's the best Canadian anchor out there right now. She has the talent and gifts and professionalism that makes her delivery of the news so powerful.

Nolan H.: I loved her grey hair and thought she was the most powerful news lady I'd ever seen!

Ashley Williams: She looks younger and way hotter with grey than she ever did before, imo, but it's ridiculous that that should even matter at all.

Cynthia Mclaughlin: I don't care if Lisa wanted purple hair, she was and is the best anchor woman I've ever seen on TV. Please don't let immature testosterone levels let go of such a valued person. She'll always be amazing.....

Lizzbird: Imagine getting fired because of the colour of your hair. I personally think she looks better with grey hair than any other colour

Bernardo Rios: I can't believe she lost her job and get judged over her hair color. .

Matt Smith: What’s hella sad about this is she looks real good, certain women make silver/grey hair look nice and she does. I’m so sick of this shallow planet

KingOfReels👑: We love you Lisa! Go be happy, you deserve it!

LT *: She’s gorgeous and her maturity is what would make her reporting more credible.

Chan Marr: Her hair looked amazing both ways. And probably like a lot of us during the pandemic, she stopped doing something that was time consuming and liked the results. She looked amazing with the gray hair.

Leslie Wheeler: Her hair looks great. I wonder what their excuse for letting her go was ...

John Keller: She looks damn good whichever hair color and always has been a solid professional at the desk and reporting in the field. To let her go was utterly asinine of CTV as she is one of the best real journalists in Canada at this time. I am American and know her erudition in reporting, let alone virtually all Canadians.

SegaNaLeqa: If they can find evidence that it was obviously hair colour change, or ageism, that got her fired, her boss will be in big trouble. This is Canada, we don’t fire people over stuff like that, there’s literally laws against it. I think her hair is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to have the same/similar colour some day. I’m a firm believer in rocking silver/grey/white hair, you earned that colour naturally, so might as well show it off! I’m wishing her all the best in what her future holds.

The1emerican: I’m a man in my 30’s and I love woman with gray hair. It shows beauty, wisdom and maturity. I find it attractive.

james leslie: She looks stunning in grey hair, they shouldn't have fired her

Crystal lightWings: If it true that she was fired because of her gray hair that it would mean she was fired wrongfully and she can file a case against that

T: I grew up listening to her, I was floored when the news got out. I think it’s way more than grey hair that’s behind this.

P N: She is beautiful all around..my goodness. I moved to Canada from Kenya 20 years ago believing that Canada is one of the best countries in the world. To my surprise, being a woman here, it doesn’t matter which colour of your skin, hair or accent, Canada is an old Boys club…period. I have also learnt that as an employee there is no need to be loyal to a company, they will and can get rid of you in a split of a second. Best option, change jobs after every two years so you can raise your pay.

David Ken: She clearly didn't say anything about her hair color, so why is Inside Edition assuming and putting out this rumor?

Jerry: I will miss her as a reporter

🎀 𝒾𝒾𝒩𝓍𝓆𝓆𝑒𝓉 🎀: She will always slay

Gummy: She literally looks gorgeous with silver or brown hair.

Eyota Chenoa: Gray has become a new thing. Even young ppl dye to gray. Her hair is beautiful.

fabio40: Lisa never said she was fired because of her grey hair, although I'm sure it went through her mind. Somebody is just speculating although it may or may not be true.

Chickn Sandwich: Her hair is so beautiful gray it's sad that she was even fired in the 1st place because I'm sure she thought that would be her last job

Ajiro Akomo: To the sponsors, this is what you sponsor. The CEO and officials concerned with this abuse of women must be fired and sued.

Golden.: Even if she wasn't beautiful and was old, that has nothing to do with her work!! It would not interfere with her profession at all!! Shame on the network that let her go.

Joey Albert: I've always had a theory that news anchors have to look a certain way (eye candy) in order to get hired since people will be watching them on the screen for some time. It annoys me, and this just makes me feel like it's real.

f r o g: Imagine fire someone just because their hair changes color.

Luca Ht: WHAT THE HECK! I remember her so well she was a staple Canadian news anchor and is gorgeous grey hair or no grey hair!! Shame on them

LeeAnne: She looks incredible no matter what colour her hair is… very sad!

LunarAmeranth: she's handling the termination with such grace, it's hard to imagine she actually did something else worthy of being fired over.

BeMyGuess👍: If that’s true then it’s called injustice to fired just for that.‍♂️

Nicole Braun: If this is true, that is so sad! Someone's hair colour, especially one of natural occurring, like grey/white, should never be a reason to fire someone. She is stunning in her silver hair. My own mom was silver very early on in life, and I think it's beautiful.

HClbn: Still looking good with gray hair on national should be the “graytest” honor of her life

owlversusdove: i hope she finds a news agency that appreciates her resume and experience.

Aster: She's absolutely beautiful and 58. I love the silver.

Amanda D: Let's be honest, it's because she got older and let her hair grey. SMH

Samantha Shaman: Damn yall couldnt even let her finish her goodbye message at the end huh

Faye Kalantzis: She rocking the grey hair I love it and how inspiring. Men in the media have a strange view of beauty it's at the movies were you get a 15 years old demographic, in the news we get women with merit just like the men and frankly I don't care what they look like I just want a professional .

KATHI DEGROAT: She is Lovely, So Beautiful, Inspiring!!!!

Dani: Aren’t they supposed to tell her the reasons why they fired her? Especially if she’s worked there for so long.

Lauren J: Her hair is stunningly beautiful, wow. So shiny and it suits her nicely. Such a shame how prevalent agism is

Boops: she was one of my favourite anchors :(

Dual Love: She looks amaaazing in grey hair! Wow!

it's definitely true: Actually I think the gray kind of makes you look younger, it looks really good on you.

Deep Thought: She looks great with Grey hair!

Saturday2015: Wow that's just sad

Helen: She looks so beautiful with her grey hair. We all eventually become grey and older. That's something we all have to accept in life and it's unfortunate they fired her so suddenly without explanation but we all know it was the grey hair.

Marian Rooth: Her reports were always the best.

Sheila Wyatt: She looks really good with the grey hair.

Bloomin: Please give me a break! She looks amazing

Patriots Nation 4 life: You dont just fire a long time trusted employee over their natural hair color, thats not how companies work Has to be a different reason

Sunshine 🌞: I think she looks more beautiful with the gray hair!

J J: Her hair still looks amazing.

J JC: Always enjoy her reporting the news. I grew up watching her.

stephanie oliva: You have beautiful grey hair! I let mine go grey and I love it. Wish I'd done it sooner

A Canadian 🇨🇦: Everything about this firing (on both sides) is super sketchy. Neither side handled it well. But there was no reason to fire her

Catcadev: That is horrible. I've always seen Lisa on the news, since, well, ever. I cannot believe this.

𝔯𝔶𝔢⍢: She looks amazing with grey hair

M Th: Grey hair looks cool and iconic, not fake.

Sally Dat Gurl: she is stunning I love her grey hair

EW! PEOPLE!: Been dreaming of that gray hair i want that color for my hair too!

Channon MB: I'm 30 and the silver Bob is giving the things honestly. I love it

MTARocks: If I was a boss, I’d hire her immediately!

BeAst TitAn: Shameful is what it is ....

musicftw711: This sounds ridiculous but I believe it! I love her silver hair! Why was she fired if not for her hair?

Sebastian Cantu: Has this ever happened? Cause I feel bad for her

MY YT: She looks amazing!

Moi A.: As a Canadian…. I am ashamed of @CTVnationalnews

heinrichs5: Your hair still looks beautiful, whatever the color.

Chantal Gooch: Poor lady I like her new hair stile it’s so cute ❤️

Just Planes: Good job Bell news. You the lost one person, got rid of the one person that was keeping your show alive. rest in pieces now. it’s so much easier to let you go

P M: The television industry has always been shallow they probably expected her to keep her looks and not embrace ageing am not surprised by this.

Alyssa: her hair looks great!!

Luke Wilde: "please know, Reporting to you has truly been the Grey-test Honor of my life...."

Snodge Kat: One of my favourite anchors. She looks amazing. What a loss for CTV.

Jamie Murphy: Talk about a victim of ageism in the media landscape.

TY22: yes the firing has “nothing to do with the gray hair” wink wink !

Alex Franco: Her hair looks amazing wtf

Rebekah likesmusic: Her hair looks amazing

michael hildebrand: I love gray hair so classy

pepper bean: There is probably more to this story, people lie and that's life. I've seen people say the most horrible things that ended up not being true. So I'd wait and see before I make an assumption.

tom: Nah thats messed up and rude. Shes still so pretty!

Cash Butler: I know she’s double my age…but dang she ain’t bad

Polaroid White: Fight for Gray rights !

Athena Playz: damn gonna miss her

6scar: Her hair looks great, that's so weird.

P Lowe: This would never happen on a radio show.

AceTheIce666: Gray hair looks beautiful, wtf

Julie Jammal: This is a discrimination on the Bell Media behalf. Lisa Laflamme is a beautiful example of journalist. She will succeed again. Is the CTV lost to let her go
