The plastic surgery won't work anymore, her boobs will sag no matter how much underwire she wears and her posture won't hold her up so she can stick her boobs out. On top of that, her buddy Pero will be gone (I see that on the horizon) and his talented and professional replacement will take the "fan" mail seriously and send her packing. I don't watch KRON anymore because of Darya talking over people (insecure witch. Had a boss like that once) and the way it get's chaotic with everyone talking at once.

Don't know...I can offer one bit of speculation. Don't know if anyone saw it about a month back, but Erica was doing one of those "what's trending on social media" segments on something food-related and Darya started making all these orgasmic food-related noises, talking over her. Then Erica stops in mid- sentence and says "Darya, all I'm hearing from you is sound effects over there". Then they cut to Darya who tried to play it off like it was a joke or something, but you could see Erica's face for a couple of seconds at her desk in the background and she looked PISSED. Can't say I blame her at all, because Darya is annoying and unprofessional as a given, but that probably didn't do poor Erica any favors. For anyone who says there wasn't any bad blood between the two, I submit this as Exhibit A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-62297219551083612862015-03-22T16:00:33.999-07:002015-03-22T16:00:33.999-07:00This may shed a little light on what could be goin...This may shed a little light on what could be going on: I believe Erica was an employee of KRON. Michelle Apon, the new girl replacing Erica, describes herself on linkedin as "freelance" at KRON.

There have been multiple Assignment Desk people who have all also left because of him. Most of KRON's producers are under the age of 27, because once they all learn how things work at KRON they get the hell out of there. Last I heard, the guy who was in charge on mornings doesn't even have the title of Executive Producer, they just call him "senior producer" or some garbage. He's a weaselly little scumbag just like Pero whose only real job is to tattle on everybody. I believe he's also a former convict who did time for dealing meth. That's how things work in the Pero newsroom!
