A gay former meteorologist for a top New York City television station, whom management fired for appearing in nude live streams during his private time, has broken his silence.On Monday, Erick Adame took to Instagram to address the scandal from last September, when he announced that he was fired from Spectrum’s NY1 station because he had appeared in sexually explicit, consensual videos on an adult website.
Somebody had sent his employer and mother clips of him appearing on the site. In the video, Adame reportedly mentioned working for NY1.“That news also gave what I can only call sexual predators the idea that I wanted to be exploited and humiliated as if it were something I enjoyed,” Adame said in his Instagram video.He explained that since September, many people have gone out of their way to seek out images and videos of him.“I want to be absolutely clear about something tonight,” he said. “I never wanted any of those images or videos to ever be recorded or kept or saved or shared in any way.
And I don’t want any kind of this attention that I’ve been receiving.” He said that the experience had left him hurt.“What I do want is for these people to leave me alone,” he said.“I wish that people would focus more on the fact that these videos exist when they shouldn’t exist, as opposed to salacious details that people have really been going on and on and on about,” the television personality added.He said he assumed his live-streamed sessions would be lost once he closed his laptop.
However, he said he didn’t realize that people and bots, or automatically scripted software, record many of these live streams without the streaming party’s permission.“Many of these websites then have a download available where you can download.
