March 2, 2017 by Veronica Villafañe

Karla AmezolaEstrella TV anchor Karla Amezola, who sued her boss VP of News Andrés Angulo for sexual harassment, was fired Tuesday.

The company confirms she was terminated the same day that Angulo resigned from his post.

Amezola, who first reported him to Human Resources a year ago, filed a lawsuit against Angulo and Liberman Broadcasting for sexual harassment in June of last year.

That lawsuit is still pending.

    ESTO FUE LO QUE HIZO LA ALACRAN DE ANDREA OSPINA!!!!
    ..Amezola says she and her attorney suspected the company was preparing to get rid of her when Ospina sent her two emails in English about her performance. One of them was sent while she was on vacation out of the country. She would later be told it constituted a warning.

    Amezola says when she reported to work on Tuesday afternoon, she was called to Ospina’s office. During the brief meeting, the Human Resources director handed her termination papers she refused to sign. She was subsequently escorted out of the building without knowing at the time Angulo had resigned earlier that day.

    “I just wish I would have had the opportunity to resign, as I promised to do if they ousted Andrés,” she says.
