One Mic Drop Moment
In 2014, Charlo Greene shocked viewers by cursing on live TV. While reporting for KTVA in Alaska, she ended a segment on marijuana by revealing her support for legalization and ownership of the Alaska Cannabis Club, the subject of her report. Charlo then quit on air, creating an unforgettable television moment.
Later, she faced multiple charges related to controlled substances. In 2018, Charlo pleaded guilty to one felony count and was fined $10K but avoided jail time. Her bold exit and subsequent legal troubles highlight the passionate and sometimes risky paths reporters take to stand up for their beliefs. Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana in 2012.
