A.J. Clemente wrote on Twitter this Monday after the “F” bomb slip to tell the public the TV anchor fired headline was indeed true:
“Unfortunately KFYR-TV has decided to let me go. Thank you to them and everyone in ND for the opportunity and everyone for the support.”

Clemente loosing the “F” bomb on air (within his first fifteen seconds behind the news desk, in fact) quickly became viral online, and Twitter supporters have quickly made themselves known, writing with the hashtag “#Keep AJ” that has now become a trending topic on the popular social media site.
The TV anchor fired for the slipped swear word also tweeted following the broadcast: “That couldn’t have gone any worse! … Rookie mistake. I'm a free agent. Cant help but laugh at myself and stay positive. Wish I didnt trip over my "Freaking Shoes" out of the gate.”
