Nine's Alex Cullen to leave Today show over 'Lambo guy' controversy
Sports presenter Alex Cullen is "stepping down permanently" from his role on Channel Nine's morning news program Today and will leave the network, his former co-presenters have announced.
Today host Karl Stefanovic said Cullen "agreed that he would finish with the network" during this morning's broadcast, with Sarah Abo saying the team would "miss him terribly".
"Nine has agreed with Today presenter and journalist, Alex Cullen, that he will finish with the network following a review into a recent incident," a Nine spokesperson told the ABC.
Cullen last appeared on Today on Friday last week, when he referred to businessman and social media personality Adrian Portelli as "the McLaren man" on air during a cross about the Australian Open.
The comment sparked controversy as Mr Portelli had reportedly offered to pay $50,000 to the first journalist to refer to him by the nickname on television, according to the Herald Sun.
