TV Host Threatens Defamation Suit Against Mayor

TV host Ian Alleyne has threatened legal action against San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris over a derogatory comment allegedly made on social media. The incident occurred following a fire in Cipero Street, San Fernando that Alleyne was reporting on. Alleyne is demanding an apology from the mayor by the end of the week, failing which he will proceed with a defamation lawsuit. The controversy centers around a social media post by Parris which Alleyne claims undermined his dignity and standing as a journalist. The post, which was seen by approximately 18,000 people across various platforms, reportedly referred to Alleyne as an ‘attention seeker’.
