Was it too much stress or the wrong medication for the TV executive?
The general manager of WHDH Channel 7 in Boston, Massachusetts, ended up getting arrested last Sunday at Logan airport for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest that included striking a police officer. Randi Goldkank is now on administrative leave for medical reasons while she is facing a court date next month.
What happened to her? Just a month ago, she was at Emerson College for a lecture about journalism. She encouraged students to look into pursuing careers in that field. None of the hosts of the event nor the students detected anything wrong with her.
Was it too much stress? She had just become the general manager of Channel 7 in Boston as of last July. Previously, she worked as a sales executive for the company that owes the station and its Miami sister station. Was it because she was too young for the job? She is only 40 years old. Traditionally, general managers are older and more experienced.
There were reports that she had been drinking alcohol during her flight and she had just recently started taking an antidepressant called Lexapro. Mixing alcohol with your medication is not a good idea and has serious consequences, and that looks like what's happened to her.
Good luck with your recovery, Randi!
