This is one of the most bizarre stories of the week. Maria Athens is a news anchor in Anchorage, Alaska who allegedly was having an affair with the Mayor Ethan Berkowitz. Something bad must’ve happened because Maria decided to post a fake story about him saying he was posting pictures of his genitalia on underage girls’ websites. The FBI found that NOT to be true. But what WAS true is that Maria and Ethan had an affair, which he admitted to on Monday. And then, after Maria posted the video, she PUNCHED the station manager . . . who she was ALSO having an affair with. She was arrested for assault, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
