The complaints and comments swirling around ex-ABC News weatherman Rob Marciano’s alleged anger issues seem like a hit job, according to a person who regularly worked with the meteorologist.
Marciano was fired from the network on Tuesday over alleged anger management issues, sources previously told The Post.
But sources who worked with the meteorologist told People Thursday that his ousting was unexpected and had nothing bad to say about their former colleague.
Rob is always positive, hands-on and never anything but professional, one source said.
He added that many people at ABC feel it was ‘unbelievable he was let go,’ contrary to earlier reports where sources described his chronic temper issues and complaints from female coworkers who reportedly said he made them uncomfortable.
The Rob Marciano being portrayed is not the Rob Marciano we know, the same source added.
He was hard-working and kind to everyone. So many people in news can be cut-throat, or creepy, or generally unpleasant, but Rob is not one of them, another source mentioned.
Others told of a very different experience working alongside the meteorologist.
Rob reportedly had a long-running feud with chief ‘Good Morning America’ meteorologist Ginger Zee and was banned from the GMA set before his ousting, reports said.
An ABC News spokesperson declined to comment.
He was then swapped to World News Tonight, while occasionally filing field reports for the morning show.
The Post has reached out to Marciano and Ginger Zee.
