“When I was fired, I was victim of an injustice perpetrated by a series of inept individuals,” Jorge Mettey tells me. “Those same inept individuals proceeded to discredit and defame me.”
Jorge says there is no evidence that he has ever acted unethically and is out to clear his name. That’s why on Monday he filed suit against Univision. “I’ve embarked on this process with the only objective to clear my name, as it has always been. And for those who have made mistakes, to pay for them.”
Jorge worked for Univision 12 years – at KMEX-34 and KTVW-33 in Phoenix. He was ousted in April of 2007. The L.A. Times reports that at the time, the company had determined he had “breached ethics policies in directing news coverage.” Univision’s general counsel told the Times: “The suit has absolutely no merit.”
