Sharyn Alfonsi is not staying quiet. The 60 Minutes correspondent, who has been a part of the iconic news program since 2015, is speaking out after her contract with the show was not renewed by her bosses at CBS.

Alfonsi’s contract reportedly lapsed over Memorial Day weekend and she believes it was because she raised issues about how Bari Weiss, the news division’s editor in chief, handled a report that she did on the U.S. deporting Venezuelans to a prison in El Salvador. According to The New York Times, one day after she did the segment, Weiss held it because he claimed it was “not ready.” Since then there has been all kinds of fallout at the troubled show.
