But it is a rare case of a female being let go for "comments"
Paramount TV President Amy Powell Fired Over Inappropriate Comments
The news was announced Thursday via an internal memo from Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos in which he outlined "multiple individuals" who raised "concerns around comments" made by the executive in a "professional setting, which they believed were inconsistent" with Viacom's values.
