Ousted ‘GMA’ anchor Janai Norman torches ABC News, Michael Strahan for being ‘complicit in upholding white supremacy’
NY Post ^ | 8/14/26 | Ariel Zilber

Former “Good Morning America Weekend” anchor Janai Norman has been blasting ABC News and some of its biggest stars just months after her ouster — raising eyebrows among her former colleagues at the Disney-owned network, according to a report.

Norman has unleashed a string of blistering social media critiques of her old employer, including accusing it and other news organizations of becoming “complicit in upholding white supremacy” in a video that took aim at “GMA” host Michael Strahan’s interview with the parents of a dead Mississippi teen.

The unusually public broadsides have irked staffers at ABC News, according to the Status newsletter, which reported Friday that Norman’s attacks have “raised eyebrows among many” at the network.

Norman, whose contract was not renewed by ABC earlier this year, ripped Strahan over his questioning of the parents of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old who was found dead after a boating trip with friends.

During the interview, Strahan asked the grieving parents why their son would have voluntarily stayed behind on Horn Island, according to a clip included in Norman’s video.

“Bless Michael, ’cause he had it right the first time,” Norman said in her commentary.

“The question should have been, ‘Do you believe that?’ Not asking these grieving parents to defend a decision that we don’t even know for certain their deceased son made.”

“That was not an objective question,” Norman continued. “Subjectively, I would say that it was insensitive.”

Norman then broadened her criticism beyond Strahan, accusing news outlets of placing too much trust in law enforcement.

Kinda cute but brings the attitude. I'll be running in the other direction.

Burn those bridges, Janai. You won’t get very far criticizing your former employer publicly..............

This pathetic excuse for a woman must be trying out for a PMSNBC job.

Black libs are desperate for Nolan Wells to have died at the hands white supremacists rather than just falling off a boat, hitting his head and drowning.

Which is perverse if you think about it. “He drowned by accident? If only he’d been murdered instead.”

The old cliche about fury and a woman scorned comes to mind.

She left ABC in May. She likely doesn't have a future employer in the irritainment and propaganda industry.

So... a young black man dies, and a black journalist interviews the black parents and another black journalist decides that she doesn’t like how he did it, and it’s still all white people’s fault? Have I got this right?

Only a $million-net worth per Wikipedia. Believable? If true she’s dumb.

If “irritainment” is your invention, it’s very good.

All these colored gals on TV like to sport White women hair. Janai should
take a tip from Whoopi Goldberg, boss mammy of the talk show circuit. Girl,
wear your hair natural. Even a ‘fro would be better than aping white
women. Black is beautiful! Power to the peepul. Right on!

Because they need something so they can say “See we told you America is racist” meanwhile, blacks kill white people all the time and not a peep in the headlines
