6ABC's Cecily Tynan calls colleague Adam Joseph a 'moron' on-air
6ABC meteorologist Cecily Tynan could clearly be heard saying "Moron," after tossing to fellow meteorologist Adam Joseph who began speaking while his microphone was off. This happened around 6:37 p.m. Monday.
But instead of admitting that it happened, first Joseph tweeted: "Let me make this clear if you just watch our weather hit. Cecily did not say "moron" she said "do you want mine on" (the mic) lol Too Funny!
Moments later however, Joseph tweeted what seemed like a confirmation of the comment.
"Man twitter is blowing up over the comment by @cecilytynan! Even if she did say it, its in good humor. We are like brother and sister.
Closer to 7 p.m., anchor Jim Gardner made the matter more bizarre with a somewhat rambling explanation that Tynan had not insulted Joseph.
"Maybe I shouldn't even acknowledge this but the folks who thought that Cecily called Adam an untoward name when Adam was having trouble with his microphone, that's not at all true," Gardner stated.
"What Cecily was saying was "Do you want mine on? My microphone on. And then Adam had a chance to fix his microphone before that even became an issue. If you thought that Cecily called Adam an untoward name that's not the case at all. We don't do that here. We are a family, we love each other," Gardner said before looking at someone, possibly Joseph, off camera and then added "You're acting like a moron." Laughter could be heard on set.
Of course, to make matters worse, Tynan then posted an even more absurd explanation on Facebook about the situation, a picture of which is posted here.
Don't they know the cover-up is always worse than the crime?
Morons.
For those viewing the video, the moron comment is made about 12 seconds in. After Tynan hands off to Joseph.
Don't mess with Cec... she is not as nice as she plays on TV.— The Baron- Cecily and her silicone upgrades are has beens! Sheena and her silicone puppies are better.— Joseph DeSantis
- if only the media could cover the ridiculous Libya coverup, that actually means someone, as agressive as Dan Gross.
now, raise your hand if you never called a co-worker a moron.
Funny, was listening to KYW yesterday and they said "Coming up, Moron Traffic" and i thought they finally had a special segment for some of our horrible drivers in this area.— jim715 - Cecily is the moron...— HAROLD Eskin
- I'd rather watch Brick Tamland do the weather instead of Cecily.— TyroneShoes
Comment removed.- Poor Adam......she loves him like a brother:(— Wilhelm Von Humboldt
- I have zero respect for Tynan after I read how she went after the ex-wife of her current husband (if they're still married) with nasty voice mails. I'm sure she did call Adam Joseph a moron. She is so full of herself. Not sure why, all she does is read the weather, stop acting like you're all that.— BobbyD
- i heard it live. she said "moron". jim gardner shouldn't have tried to clean it up. later in the broadcast, she turned it over to her "good friend, Adam Joseph", but Adam still had his panties in a bunch, and was a little cold in the exchange. hilarious!— fillyfan
- He couldn't get his mike working, she said moron plain as day because she didn't know her mike was live.— neddyflanders
- I'm always amazed that Tynan ruined 2 marriages, ( hers and the poor woman that was married to her current husband)and almost nobody was offended by that ( in fact after the ex wife spoke up about it she felt a need to give her a nasty response).Contrast that to John Bolaris, who was single( until yesterday, congrats) and had the right to date whoever he pleased, got slammed regularly, then was fired for being the victim of a felony( though the term "do shot" is one of the great Rocky-Bullwinkle moments ever). We have sort of a convenient moral compass when it comes to other people's personal lives.— drbob1
- Jim's version obviously was false. He should not have addressed the issue. Initially, I believed her version when I first read her tweet. However, I concluded she did call him a "moron" after watching the video in context after Adam forgot to turn on his mike. I once said something like that at work during a 3-way phone call before my secretary had told me the third person already was on the line. The third person said to me, "EXCUSE ME??" I was like, "Uhh.."— dglass1
- Cecily Tynan is a mean snake!— Dolly92748
- Cecile Tynan is getting too old& her luggage face over tanned skin is getting too pronounced for her to continue on TV much longer. Her time is about up isn't it?.— gjd741
