A former New York City television meteorologist has returned to his main social media accounts after taking a three-month hiatus to get his personal and mental health affairs in order.
Earlier this month, ex-Spectrum News forecaster Erick Adame relaunched his X (Twitter) and Instagram accounts to announce several personal updates and to resume marketing his standalone weather forecasting app, “Weather with Erick.”

Pink-slipped Spectrum NY1 meteorologist Erick Adame doesn’t expect to get his old job back after being let go for appearing an adult cam website but thinks he could be working again soon.
“I think it’s a different generation out there,” Adame’s crisis-management representative Howard Bragman told Deadline on Tuesday. “I think younger people just don’t care about these kinds of things; it’s not an issue. I think when you talk about people under 40, virtual sex and nude photos are pretty much part of the life.”
Adame, the veteran weather reporter, apologized Monday after saying he was let go after his secret appearances on the cam site were leaked to the public. But Bragman said Adame already has had at least one job offer and is likely to return to television.
“I have to say the public response has been overwhelmingly supportive for Erick,” the PR vet added.

Spectrum News NY1 meteorologist Erick Adame is speaking out after he says he was terminated from his job following images being shared from his appearance on an adult cam website.
Adame took to Instagram on Monday to apologize for secretly “performing on camera for other men” from home, a decision he attributed to his “compulsive behaviors.” The TV personality has worked for Spectrum News since 2007 and has appeared as the NY1 meteorologist on Mornings on 1 for the New York City area since 2017.
“It was 100 consensual on both of our parts,” Adame wrote in his post about his appearance on the adult site. “I wasn’t paid for this, and it was absurd of me to think I could keep this private. Nonetheless, my employer found out and I was suspended and then terminated.”
