We have learned via the Ogle Mole Network that Lance "Danger" West – the goofy and affable anchor / reporter for KFOR Channel 4 – resigned yesterday afternoon after a 23-year career at the Oklahoma City NBC news affiliate.
The resignation took the metro media scene by surprise, and came just hours after a short-lived Twitter account named "JustaGirl35" tagged @KFOR with several screenshots showing salacious private messages that West exchanged with a woman via social media.
The messages were sexually explicit, but they were also kind of tame by sex talk standards. From an employment perspective, the most damaging screenshot is this selfie (and the accompanying text) that Lance sent from the KFOR set:
Okay, I edited out that last bit of text. Let's just say Lance felt like a huge slab of granite.
