Longtime TV figurehead Nancy Grace will not be renewing her contract with HLN, which expires in October.
The news was first reported in an exclusive for The Hollywood Reporter.
After 18 years on the air, Grace certainly has made a name for herself – and more than one enemy.
In a brutal NYT profile from back in 2011, the late David Carr panned her for “racing toward judgment, heedlessly ignoring nuance and evidence on her way to finding guilt.”
She worked as a prosecutor before picking up her gig with HLN and getting paid to rant and rave on air four days a week.
Her Twitter presence, hopefully, will continue. Please don’t leave us, Nancy. Check out this Vice article about her insane hashtags that have made her a mainstay in the annals of crazy people on TV. Her penchant for coming up with nicknames for accused killers like “Tot Mom” Casey Anthony and ranting wildly about cases with hot takes and fresh opinions drove ratings to impressive numbers. Check out this clip of her reactions during and after the Anthony trial:
“I’m not going to let some cooky jury stop justice. Not for me, anyway.”
Oooookay, Nancy. We’re sad to see you go, but happy in the knowledge that you won’t be gone forever. Nancy says she will be shifting to more digital content in the future. We can only hope this means more hashtags like #MurderForPizza and #PervyPJParty.
The issue here is when you have a child & then try to murder it #BabyInDryer

We can see how that would be an issue, Nancy.
