Alycia Lane Suing KYW

Alycia Lane is suing KYW-TV in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, alleging the station and its management “maliciously damaged her reputation and contributed to a number of her embarrassing off-camera episodes,” according to an AP story.

KYW isn’t commenting on the suit.

Alycia was fired in January, a month after being arrested in New York City for allegedly assaulting a police officer, but the felonay charges were later dropped.

In the lawsuit, Alycia blames KYW for the outcome of an embarrassing Dr. Phil episode in 2004, eventually causing her to be “branded in the press as someone who sought to make herself the news, rather than to merely report the news.”
