Ms. Fort joined Media General in October 2015 as an amateur newsreader.
She was made an anchor for the network’s five-minute on the hour news bulletin and was also selected as the anchor for the 15-minute Business News segment on TV3’s breakfast show.
Before her resignation, she was one of the faces of the station’s primetime daily news bulletin at 7 pm.
Controversy
It will be recalled that in September 2019, Ms. Fort filed a defamation suit against seven news portals for alleging that she was pregnant “for four married men”.
In the defamation suit filed at the Accra High Court against Ghana Celebrities, Yen Ghana, Ghanaweb, GH Page, Ghana Slayers, Netbuzz Africa, and Peace FM Online, Natalie Fort asked the court to restrain the online portals from further publishing the defamatory stories.
She also sought an order for the removal or deletion of the defamatory content.
Two of the news portals Peace FM Online and Ghana Slayers in August 2020 apologized to Ms. Fort over the publications.
In an earlier explanation, Natalie Fort said she took a study leave from work to further her education.
