A local news anchor in Boston, Massachusetts, claimed that she was fired after appearing briefly in Adam Sandler’s new movie “Hubie Halloween”.
Netflix premiered last week and starred Sandler, 54, as a Halloween party coordinator in Salem, Mass.
Anchor Alaina Pinto appeared in the film as a reporter who cast the news in a Harley Quinn costume.
