Cleveland TV anchor Kristi Capel has been temporarily taken off the air in the wake of using a racial slur during a live broadcast on Monday.
Cleveland.com reported that Capel did not appear on the Fox 8 morning show on Wednesday, and would not appear on Thursday or Friday of this week either. She will return to the broadcast on Monday, March 2.
While praising Lady Gaga's performance of a "Sound of Music" medley at the 2015 Oscars on Sunday, Capel said during the Monday broadcast, "It's hard to really hear her voice with all the jigaboo music... She has a gorgeous voice."

She's Italian from Kentucky and Missouri, and seems to be married to, or at least reproduced with, a (very lucky) white guy:
I think the PC way to say it is, “urban yodeling”.
It’s not that bad. It’s a video from the 70s.
Well shut ma mouf! Nice family picture.
It will be a coons age until that chink in the armor is fixed.
That still is funny, down-home type of funny.”A giant pile of coal in a lettuce patch!”
He knew she would take his remark the right way.
Some women have great senses of humor, even about clothes.
The only (or first) time that I ever heard that term was while watching an episode of ‘All in the family’ more than 40 years ago, and it was spoken by a black guy who was robbing a white home and had the audacity to answer the telephone during the robbery.
For what it is worth, I grew up in a neighborhood where as a white person, I was absolutely a minority who had heard every sort of racial slur.
Think of a word that starts with ‘p’ and ends with a ‘k’ and you might get a better idea of what a schmuck is.
That too.
So......I guess the jig is up.
One other use of the word jigaboo.
In the early 1900’s in the south this term was used both by black and whites in a reference to certain music or dancing.
The verdict is clear....
Thank GOD she didn’t say Macaca. She would be crucified.
And...I hope she’s a liberal Obama supporter. Let her live in their land of newspeak and thought crimes.
Last time I heard jigaboo was in a Police Academy movie.
She also nervously repeats the word nonsensically. Maybe she realized it.
Your reasoning is sound and she’ll likely be back, but only after a suitable period of reflection and remorse at the temple of sharpton.
No definitely not.
Musical racism. Being racist to music.
LOL
Oh my.
