CLEVELAND,Ohio- Former WOIO 19 Action News Anchor Sharon Reed, whose contract with the Cleveland television news station was non-renewed last year, has joined KNOV Channel 4 in St Louis, Mo. as a news anchor.  
Reed will co-anchor the 4 and 10 pm news with Larry Connors and anchor along side of Jasmine Huda at 5 pm, station officials said.

Like 19 Action News, KNOV Channel 4 is also a CBS affiliate.

This summer rumors circulated the Internet linking Reed's  pregnancy, the non-renewal of her contract with 19 Action News,  and her subsequent new born baby to NBA basketball star and Miami Heat star player LeBron James, coupled with claims that she was living in Miami, Fl.  Her lawyer quickly denied the rumors and threatened to sue.

James, 27 and a native of Akron, Oh., played for the Cleveland Cavaliers before leaving the team amid a fallout with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert in 2010. He is roughly six years younger than Reed, whose low cut blouses and sex appeal drew people to watch her as an anchor.

Reed had covered the Cavaliers games during James' tenure  with the team, which prompted the rumors that James is her baby's daddy.

.19 Action News Director Dan Salamone told Cleveland Urban News.Com earlier this year that Reed's contract had not been renewed but would not comment further on whether Reed's contract was non-renewed for allegedly breaking the morals clause of her contract by allegedly fraternizing with James.

Both Reed and James are single, though James has two out-of-wedlock children with high school sweetheart Savannah Brinson. 
Now a single mother, Reed, who is Black and holds and a master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at the prestigious Northwestern University, made national news  in 2004, including an appearance on the David Letterman Show, when she was featured on a 19 Action News segment posing nude for Spenser Tunick's nude group photo shoot.

After leaving the Cavaliers, James this year led the Miami Heat to its second NBA Championship title against the Oklahoma City Thunder and was also awarded the Most Valuable Player Award for the championship series.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
