Martha Vazquez, who left her anchor position at KVOA in Tucson following a shoplifting charge, talked to former colleague Savannah Guthrie on the Today show on NBC. The segment appeared Wednesday, February 17.
“I know I did wrong,” said Vazquez, in December. “I own it. I did it. I paid the price. I am so sorry.”
She explained that she suffers from major depressive disorder, which is defined as a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest because of a chemical imbalance in the brain.
“Depression is a disease, and it literally paralyzes you,” she says.
