Reports surfaced on Friday that Jemele Hill was leaving as co-host of SportsCenter, which sparked rumors that she was fired. Jemele took to Instagram to address the rumors, revealing that she's taking a new job at Undefeated.
"Life comes at your fast, doesn't it? And while I am amused by the rumors that I was demoted, kicked off 6pm SportsCenter or whatever else can be conjured, the truth is pretty simple and not nearly as dramatic. Not many people get to say they were a SportsCenter anchor . . . So I consider myself lucky to have worn that title, and sat in the same chair as many of the icons in our business."
She added, "I chose to work with The Undefeated because I respect their passion, creativity and storytelling. I have a lot of friends and people I've admired there for a long time. I'm honored to now be on their team."
