Angry TV host refuses to present Kardashians story

An American TV host walks off, refusing to talk about the Kardashians.

An American newsreader has reached saturation point with the Kardashian family in dramatic fashion.

On Orlando's Fox 35, the story of Kylie Jenner's new pet rabbit - named Bruce, after her father pre-transition - tipped news anchor John Brown over the edge and he stormed off set.

"I am having a good Friday, so I refuse to talk about the Kardashians today," he announced as he left. "You are on your own, Amy."

While his colleagues laughed, Brown shouted from backstage: "I don't care! I'm sick of this family, I can't take it anymore - it's a non-story!

"We're talking about this family every freaking day on this show! Nobody cares about this family anymore! It's enough! It's Friday! I want to have a good Friday! I don't want to talk about the Kardashians!"

During his meltdown, Brown's co-anchor said, "his head looks like a tomato right now" - but since he was off camera, we'll have to take her word for it.

Brown later posted the video of his dramatic exit on Facebook, along with an apology.

"Sorry I lost my mind a bit, although it was partially in jest!" he wrote. "I did feel better though after I was done."
