News Anchor Fired For Role in Netflix’s Adam Sandler ‘Hubie Halloween’ Movie

Date:

Boston news anchor Alaina Pinto was fired by station WHDH for appearing in Adam Sandler’s new Netflix movie Hubie Halloween.

“Earlier this week, I was let go from 7 News,” Pinto tweeted Thursday. “I am posting this because I want to be open and honest with all of you. Last year, I participated in a cameo in the recently released Netflix movie by Adam Sandler, ‘Hubie Halloween.’” The film was released on October 7 on the streaming platform.

Apparently, her appearance was a violation of Pinto’s contract, which she said she “mistakenly violated.”

“I am deeply disappointed and saddened, and I hoped this would not be how things evolved,” Pinto wrote. “Thanks to all my wonderful 7 News viewers and my supportive and great colleagues at the station.”

The movie centers on October 31st in Salem, Massachusetts. Sandler finds himself in the middle of a real murder investigation. Pinto played a news anchor for a fictional Boston TV station. The cameo shows Pinto talking about the Salem Halloween festivities while dressed as DC Comics character Harley Quinn.
