Are Mark Suppelsa and Demetrius Ivory Rat Finks?
Their teasing drove Micah Materre, who's afraid of rats, off the WGN anchor desk.
Is this good-natured fun, or twisted prank at the expense of someone’s phobia?
Mark Suppelsa and Demetrius Ivory teased co-host Micah Materre on Thursday with their talk of the rat wandering the WGN studios, prompting Materre to hide her face in her hands, take a few audible deep breaths, and then flee the set.
“I asked you nicely ... I told you I’m phobic,” she said. “Seriously, I’m seriously gone.”
And she walked off. Suppelsa and Ivory, eminently pleased with themselves, bumped fists.
Jerks or jokers, folks?
