Reporter who moonlighted as stripper gets fired

3/27/2012

​Like a lot of people these days, Sarah Tressler holds down a couple jobs. By day, she reports on some of the most prominent citizens in Houston as the society reporter for the Houston Chronicle. At night, she bares all as a stripper. It's "His Girl Friday" meets "Striptease" -- though Tressler doesn't do much to conceal her identity, maintaining a blog called "Diary of an Angry Stripper," a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Tressler's prudish colleagues are apparently fuming that she "flaunts" her "stripper money" and believe she is using the paper as "fodder for a future roman a clef."

 

UPDATE: Tressler told Good Morning America on Friday that the Chronicle fired her because of her second job. But, seeing as she brings in up to $2,000 a night some nights, she'll most likely be ok.

Should she be able to keep both jobs?
