Local New York anchor Ken Rosato was axed from ABC 7 for allegedly referring to his co-anchor Shirleen Allicot with a four-letter word, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The longtime local “Eyewitness News This Morning” anchor was “immediately fired” after “he called her a -” on a hot mic, a source said.

Rosato was off the air when he allegedly uttered the phrase, we were told, but insiders previously said his remark was picked up “on an open mic” and that he was “immediately let go.”

Ok - I read the article and guessed wrong.

“Being fired for any racial slur is 100 percent inaccurate and untrue. Ken Rosato had a benchmark of 20 years at WABC of supporting all equality,” the rep told us on Friday.

What do you mean “all equality”? What about women?

If he had wanted to really destroy her reputation, he would have accused her of being another C word, Christian.

Yeah, they do! But they're not misogynistic about it. They'll pretty much nail anyone with it. The Irish too.

I knew some British folks years ago and the c word, according to them them is a woman’s rear end and ‘’fanny’’ is the ah... front end.

Maybe she was.

Opinions vary as Dalton once said in Road House.

Yes they do. I dislike it, it is so nasty and guttural. Don’t think I have ever said it (at least not in my adulthood).

My guess is that he was telling the truth. Telling the truth is never wrong.
