DeMarco Morgan has caused a stir with photos he posted of himself in bike shorts, emphasizing his huge bulge. These pictures left a strong impression and have the newsroom talking. Morgan posted the photos last month, wearing tight bike shorts that revealed a lot and focused attention on his lower body.
While many people online joked about the revealing photos, sources at ABC say a lot of staff members are annoyed. Several of them have asked DeMarco to take the pics down, but he hasn’t, thinking they are overreacting.
Some at ABC find the pictures embarrassing not just for Morgan but for the whole news organization. This is especially sensitive because ABC News President Kim Godwin, who supported Morgan’s role, recently left the company. Even though Morgan isn’t facing any official consequences, the photos are definitely causing a buzz within the building.
ABC News has a morals clause saying employees should act respectfully and not bring the company into scandal. Disney, ABC’s parent company, also advises employees to use social media responsibly. It’s unclear how Disney feels about Morgan’s post.
ABC News has no comment on this matter.
