Off-duty anchorwoman goes on nasty rant when she had her car towed - is one week suspension too much, not enough or perfect discipline for her?

28 year old ESPN Britt McHenry had her car towed and when she went to get it out of impound, went on a foul mouthed, hate-fueled rant toward the employees of the tow company.

Watch news clip: http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/espns-britt-mchenry-suspended-foul-mouthed-rant-n343326

She said “I’m on the news” which is almost like saying “You know my name. Please google me.” They told her she’s on video, and she looks up at the camera. After bragging (or threatening if you want to look at it that way) that she’s on the news, she makes comments about the employee’s teeth, and then (not sure if this is on the clip), when she walks away she says “and lose some weight, honey.” That they said on the radio, not sure if it’s on the clip I linked. In general, she just shows herself to be a nasty, uppity individual.

Of course, now that it’s viral and she’s suspeneded, she’s issued an apology.

This was talked about today on the news and on the radio. Some are saying she should be fired, some are saying she should get more than a week suspension and some are saying what she does on her own time is her business.

What do you think?
