Over the past few days, we’ve fielded multiple questions from concerned News 9 viewers wondering what happened to the station’s food, kitchen, and lifestyle contributor – Caryn “The Sassy Mama” Ross.
As you may recall, Caryn – who has been a fixture on the locally owned and operated channel’s daytime programming since at least 2010 – dropped a very clear and very audible F-bomb during a recent broadcast, and hasn’t been seen once on air since.
It’s already one of the great blooper reels in OKC TV history:

The well-publicized clip, along with the timing of Caryn’s absence, had many wondering if the two were connected. Could Caryn have possibly been suspended, or even worse, let go by the station?
The simple answer to that question is “Yes.”
