Kendis Gibson details toxic culture at ABC News linked to 2018 suicide attempt

Kendis Gibson, a former ABC News anchor, claims that a toxic workplace culture contributed to his 2018 suicide attempt. In his upcoming book, he describes a negative environment at ABC, despite initial positive experiences with colleagues. Gibson recounts feeling unsupported and facing veiled racism during his time at the network. He struggled with depression, which worsened due to the work culture, leading to a crisis after a night shift in 2018. After his suicide attempt, Gibson sought therapy and medication. He later declined a contract extension with ABC, citing concerns for his health. He now works at PIX11 News in New York. ABC News has not commented on his claims.
