Hollie Strano Says She Was Fired From WKYC for 'Sharing Recovery Journey Publicly'
"I believe the actions of WKYC and Tegna demonstrate the stigma surrounding addiction," she wrote

(her statement on twitter is in the Cleveland Scene article)


snip-"WKYC anchor Hollie Strano, who fell from grace last November after she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, announced today on social media that she has been fired. It was her stated opinion that she was let go for being too transparent about her road to recovery."


snip-"On Thanksgiving Day last year, Strano flipped and crashed her SUV on Peninsula Road, driving about 70 mph in a 35 mph zone. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the crash. Cuyahoga Falls Police clocked Strano with a 0.244 BAC—nearly three times the legal limit.

Strano pleaded guilty in Cuyahoga Falls Mayor Court to a single OVI charge. Her license was taken away for a year, and Strano had to attend a week-long intervention program. She was also direly scrutinized in the court of public opinion."

There but for the grace of my higher power...
